支链氨基酸与衰老和老年人健康的关系

Relationship between branched-chain amino acids and aging and health of the elderly

骨骼肌以及机体代谢功能是影响老年人健康状态的重要因素。支链氨基酸(branched-chain amino acid,BCAA)可以改善肌肉恢复,减少运动后的肌肉酸痛,同时BCAA还可以改善代谢健康,有助于调节老年人的血糖水平和提高胰岛素敏感性。此外,BCAA还可以改善认知功能,降低与年龄相关的认知能力下降的风险。该文综述了BCAA与衰老、骨骼肌及代谢性疾病的关系,阐述了BCAA可以支持和促进老年人的肌肉质量和功能,还可以对代谢健康和认知功能产生积极影响。

Skeletal muscle and metabolic function are important factors affecting the health status of the elderly.Branched-chain amino acids(BCAA)can improve muscle recovery,reduce muscle soreness after exercise,and BCAA can also enhance metabolic health,helping to regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity in the elderly.In addition,BCAA can improve cognitive function,reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline.This article reviews the relationship between BCAA and aging,skeletal muscle,and metabolic diseases,explaining how BCAA can support and promote muscle mass and function in the elderly,as well as have a positive impact on metabolic health and cognitive function.
