Aging, Exercise, and Hormonal Influences of Fat Metabolism

NCT00100451 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether exercise alters the way in which the body stores and breaks down fat. A second objective is to evaluate how these effects are influenced by your age and gender. These studies are important because aging, male gender, and menopause are associated with an increased storage of abdominal fat which is frequently accompanied by diabetes, a high blood cholesterol level, high blood pressure and greater risks of heart attack, stroke, and death. Increasing evidence suggests that these abnormalities and many other effects of aging may be partly due to lack of exercise.
