Study Summary
This pilot study is designed to determine the relationship between intra-myocellular lipids and muscle contractility in fibers from obese and non-obese older adults. Obese participants are being recruited for an on-going weight loss intervention study and this application seeks approval to recruit and enroll a lean comparison group of non-obese older adults. The primary goal of this study is to characterize the contractile properties of single muscle fibers and whole muscle in healthy, non-obese individuals under the same recording conditions the investigators used for the obese population to begin to determine whether fat infiltration accounts for diminished force.
Primary Outcome
Primary Aim: To measure single muscle fiber contractile properties, including specific force, unloaded shortening velocity, and maximum power. We will also measure whole muscle strength and size and fiber fat infiltration. These results will establish a reference database against which data recorded in older obese individuals can be compared. Primary hypothesis: Single muscle fibers will exhibit more force and power in healthy non-obese than obese older adults due to greater intra-myocellular
