Resveratrol (RES) is a polyphenolic compound found in grapes, peanuts, and in some berries. RES has been reported to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative properties, and to target mitochondrial-related pathways in mammalian cells and animal models. Therefore, RES is currently advised as supplement in the diet of elderly individuals. Although it is hypothesized that some of RES beneficial actions likely arise from its action on the skeletal muscle, the investigation of RES effects on this tissue remains still elusive. This study reports the effects of a 0,04% RES-supplemented diet for six months, on the skeletal muscle properties of C57/BL6 aging mice. The analysis of the morphology, protein expression, and functional-mechanical properties of selected skeletal muscles in treated compared to control mice, revealed that treated animals presented less tubular aggregates and a better resistance to fatigue in an ex-vivo contraction test, suggesting RES as a good candidate to reduce age-related alterations in muscle.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
