Abstract
Age-related sarcopenia and dynapenia are associated with frailty and metabolic diseases. Resistance exercise training (RET) adjuvant to evidence-based nutritional intervention(s) have been shown as mitigating strategies. Given that HMB supplementation during RET improves lean body mass in younger humans (Wilson et al., 2014), and that we have shown that HMB acutely stimulates muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and inhibits breakdown; we hypothesized that chronic supplementation of HMB adjuvant to RET would enhance MPS and muscle mass/function in older people.We recruited 16 healthy older men (PLA: 68.5±1.0y, HMB: 67.8±1.1y) for a randomised double-blind-placebo (PLA) controlled trial (HMB 3 x 1g/day vs. PLA) involving a 6-week unilateral progressive RET regime (6 x 8 repetitions, 75% 1-RM, 3.wk-1). D2O dosing was performed over the first two weeks (0-2w) and last two weeks (4-6w) with bilateral vastus lateralis (VL) biopsies at 0-2 and 4-6 weeks (each time 75±2 min after a single bout of RE) for quantification of early and later MPS responses and post-RE myogenic gene expression. Thigh lean mass was measured by DXA, VL thickness and architecture (fibre length and pennation angle) by ultrasound at 0/3/6 weeks, and strength by knee extensor 1-RM testing and MVC by isokinetic dynamometry (approx. every 10 days).RET induced strength increases (1-RM) in the exercised leg in both groups (398±22N to 499±30N HMB vs. 396±29N to 510±43N PLA (both P
