Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how aging impacts body composition and glucose metabolism in C57BL/6J mice, focusing on three age groups: young, old, and very old.
- Results show that old mice have more fat and body fat percentage, while very old mice possess greater lean body mass and higher levels of skeletal muscle AKT protein expression.
- Despite having better glucose tolerance, very old mice display resistance to AMPK-mediated glucose uptake, suggesting complex changes in metabolic regulation with age.
