METHODS FOR ENHANCING AGED MUSCLE REGENERATION

摘要

Compositions and methods for enhancing the regenerative capacity of an individual are provided. The compositions include, and the methods provide, a combination of an effective amount of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) and an effective amount of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) to decrease the level of intramuscular FGF2, to enhance the regenerative capacity of muscle, or both.

1. A nutritional composition for enhancing the regenerative capacity of muscle in an individual, the nutritional composition comprising:
a source of EGCg in an amount sufficient to provide 0.1 to 1 gram of EGCg per serving of the nutritional composition; and a source of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) in an amount sufficient to provide 0.5 to 3 grams of HMB per serving of the nutritional composition.
