Muscle wasting occurs in both chronic heart failure (CHF) and normal aging and contributes to exercise intolerance and increased morbidity/mortality. However, the molecular mechanisms of muscle atrophy in CHF and their interaction with aging are still largely unknown. We therefore measured the activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the lysosomal pathway of intracellular proteolysis in muscle biopsies of CHF patients and healthy controls in two age strata and assessed the age-dependent effects of a 4-week endurance training program on the catabolic-anabolic balance.
