There is also a reduction of the satellite cells (responsible of regeneration), loss of excitability (decrease of the receptors), decline of the myosin protein content (reduction of the number of cross-bondings and of the maximum strength previous to the failure), rigidity (elasticity reduction), physical inactivity (affecting type I fibers), loss of mitochondrial content and function, and comorbidities such as cancer, diabetes and type II chronic heart failure (13, 14).
