Our current knowledge on the causes of sarcopenia is still fragmentary. The most evident factors of age-related muscle alterations comprise impairment in protein turnover rate, neurodegenerative processes, reduction in anabolic hormone production and action, dysregulation of cytokine secretions, changes in the response to inflammatory events, sedentary lifestyle and inadequate nutritional intakes. Indeed, nutrition, in particular low protein intakes, may participate in the loss of protein mass during aging. Consequently, numerous studies have focused on the possibility to counteract the age effect on muscle loss by changing the quantity but also the quality of ingested proteins, aiming to optimize protein intake and retention through an improvement in amino acid bioavailability for the muscle tissues.
