Shanghai Jiaotong University's latest article: Gene operation ability is related to health and longevity

High performance is related to health and longevity

Running ability, or aerobic capacity, refers to a person's ability to use oxygen, which is known to decrease with age, thereby affecting the metabolism and health of the entire body

Sira Karvinen, a postdoctoral researcher at the Finnish Academy of Sciences, explained: "The information we currently lack is whether high genetic aerobic capacity can promote healthier metabolism in different tissues as we age

To study this problem, we used high-capacity runners (HCR) and low-capacity runners (LCR) animal models

"According to our results, high gene operation ability is related to more efficient amino acid metabolism in skeletal muscle

High genetic performance and aging affect the lipid metabolism of muscle and adipose tissue, which may contribute to healthier metabolic aging

Research results indicate that the role of adipose tissue in promoting healthy aging may be more important than previously thought

"Regardless of whether your natural aerobic capacity is high or low, regular exercise can promote health
