Summary

In this project, we propose to investigate the metabolic consequences of glucocorticoid therapy, given orally as a 6 day Medrol Dose pack, on human skeletal muscle as measured by western blotting and PCR and skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity as measured by High-Resolution Respirometry in healthy individuals.
