Sarcopenic obesity is attenuated by E-syt1 inhibition via improving skeletal muscle mitochondrial function by Chao Song, Wu Zheng, Guoming Liu, Yiyang Xu, Zhibo Deng, Yu Xiu, Rongsheng Zhang, Linhai Yang, Yifei Zhang, Guoyu Yu, Yibin Su, Jun Luo, Bingwei He, Jie Xu, Hanhao Dai

“…Mechanistically, E-syt1 overexpression leads to mitochondrial calcium overload and mitochondrial ROS burst, inhibits the fusion of mitophagosomes with lysosomes, and impedes the acidification of lysosomes. Animal experiments demonstrated the inhibition of E-syt1 increased the capacity of endurance exercise, muscle mass, mitochondrial function, and oxidative capacity of the muscle fibers in OVX mice. …”
