Multisystem physiological perspective of human frailty and its modulation by physical activity
“Frailty” is a term used to refer to a state characterized by enhanced vulnerability to, and
impaired recovery from, stressors compared with a nonfrail state, which is increasingly …

Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration
The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle declines with age. Previous studies suggest
that this process can be reversed by exposure to young circulation; however, systemic age …
