Study Summary

Muscle wasting, which involves the loss of muscle tissue, is common in many conditions, such as cancer, AIDS, trauma, kidney failure, bone fracture, and sepsis. It is also prevalent among the elderly and in people who experience periods of physical inactivity and weightlessness. Muscle wasting can lead to overall weakness, immobility, physical dependence, and a greater risk of death when exposed to infection, surgery, or trauma. There is a need to develop scientifically based treatments that prevent muscle wasting. As one step towards such a goal, this study will examine the physiological and cellular mechanisms that regulate skeletal muscle growth.
