Dynamic continuum of satellite cell (SC) participation in overload-induced muscle fiber hypertrophy throughout the lifespan. Satellite cells are required for hypertrophic growth in young adult mice (2.5 months of age), are not required for hypertrophic growth in mature adult mice (>4 months of age), and are not permissive for hypertrophy in aged anabolic resistant mice (>24 months of age, refer to Lee et al. [41]). CSA cross-sectional area
