Ceramides, a widely known class of sphingolipids, build up in aging muscle and reduce its function, impacting the functional capacity of older adults. These findings inspire the development of potential drugs for the treatment of aging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Put Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Interesting, I didn't know that ceramides reduce muscle function, too. But I don't know if the headline is all that accurate, as increased ceramides are a known potential marker for CVD and all sorts of metabolic problems, including diabetes. Exercise is known to be quite effective at reducing them and their impact, and so is apparently CR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
