Mitochondria and Muscle Health in Elderly

NCT03666013 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 59

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to characterize the relation between skeletal muscle mitochondrial metabolism and muscle health in elderly, physically compromised humans. To study this relation, a cross-sectional study will be performed in well-defined, distinct subject groups. Thus, to obtain insight in the relation between mitochondrial health and muscle function, not only subjects that differ in mitochondrial function (based on physical activity) will be compared but also subjects with high- versus low muscle function will be selected.
