Abstract

Exercise-induced fatigue involves oxidative stress and metabolic dysregulation. While the anti-aging protein α-Klotho regulates metabolism and oxidative stress, its role in exercise fatigue is unexplored. This study investigated whether α-Klotho supplementation mitigates cumulative exercise-induced fatigue and elucidated the underlying tissue-specific mechanisms. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups (

Research summary

The paper claims that α-Klotho supplementation can reduce exercise-induced fatigue through specific metabolic pathways. This research is relevant as it explores the role of α-Klotho, an anti-aging protein, in mitigating fatigue, which may relate to broader mechanisms of aging and metabolic health.
