| Introduction: Concomitant with aging the amount of myostatin, as most important negative
regulator of muscular mass, increases. Presumably, this issue has correlation
with decrement of muscular mass and muscular strength. On the other hand, the
response of this protein to resistance exercise in these people is not
perfectly clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigative the
relationship between plasma myostatin with muscular volume and muscular maximal
strength and it’s response to acute resistance exercise in elderly. Materials and Methods: 12 healthy old men participated in this study (60-75 years old age). 72 hours
after the determination of muscular volume and muscular maximal strength,
subjects participated in acute resistance exercise. Three blood samples were
collected immediately before, and 4 hours after the exercise from antecubital
vein. Plasma myostatin measured by ELISA methods. Results: There was a significant correlation between muscular mass and muscular
strength with plasma myostatin in older men (P |
