Age-related skeletal muscle deterioration is a commonly reported disability among older adults, attributed to several factors including mitochondrial dysfunction, a major hallmark of aging. Therapies to attenuate or reverse mitochondrial decline are limited. Despite identified positive relationships between vitamin B12 (B12) and mitochondrial biology, the impact of B12 supplementation on skeletal muscle mitochondria, in advanc...

Aging is accompanied by progressive declines in metabolic and cognitive functions. Growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR), a receptor for the gut hormone ghrelin, is highly expressed in neurons and plays a crucial role in metabolic regulation. We previously reported that aged global GHSR-ablated mice are lean and insulin-sensitive, and that neuronal GHSR-deleted mice ( Syn1‐cre;Ghsr f/f ) completely prevent diet‐induced o...
