Reduced muscle oxidative capacity is independent of O2 availability in elderly people

Impaired O2 transport to skeletal muscle potentially contributes to the decline in aerobic capacity with aging. Thus, we examined whether (1) skeletal muscle oxidative capacity decreases with age and (2) O2 availability or mitochondrial capacity limits the maximal rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis...
