Aged male mouse muscle had reduced exercise‑induced mitophagy and altered mitoAMPKα.

Impaired Exercise‐Induced Mitophagy in Aged Muscle Coincides With Altered mitoAMPKα in Male Mice
Key Takeaways
  • Aged male mice showed blunted mitophagy after exercise stimulus.
  • Mitochondrial AMPKα localization and phosphorylation were changed with age.
  • Altered mitoAMPKα coincided with impaired mitophagy, not preceding it.
