Summary

The proposed research is a parallel arm, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to assess changes in muscle strength, volume, fatigue resistance, and mobility in older adults after daily consumption of 12g of linoleic acid-rich oil.

Detailed description

Study Objectives 1. To assess the effect of linoleic acid supplementation on muscle strength, muscle volume, fatigue- resistance, and physical mobility. 2. To quantify the impact of linoleic acid supplementation on cardiolipin species and mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle of older adults

Conditions
