Identifier
5I01BX006508-02
Research project investigating whether mitochondrial bioenergetic capacity influences proteostasis and recovery of muscle mass and function after disuse atrophy in older Veterans.
Description
The project studies how mitochondrial energy-producing capacity affects muscle mass and function recovery after disuse atrophy, including effects on muscle protein quality-control mechanisms. The research uses rat models and aims to identify potential targets for improving recovery in older Veterans.
