Everyone experiences some degree of muscle mass loss, sarcopenia, after age 40 or 50.
Consequence of inflammaging — a chronic, low-grade inflammatory status.
One of the inflammaging biomarkers is the C-reactive protein (CRP).
CRP levels significantly higher in elderly subjects with low muscle mass.
In vitro tests show exposure to CRP leads to a reduction in the size of muscle cells.
