Clinical trials: Age-Related Sarcopenia
Age-Related Sarcopenia, Muscle Loss
Impact of Protein and Alkali Supplementation on Skeletal Muscle in Older Adults
The central hypothesis is that higher protein intake and a neutralizing alkaline salt supplement will improve muscle performance and mass, compared to their respective placebos, in older men and postmenopausal women.

HIV, Aging
Angiotensin Receptors and Age Related Mitochondrial Decline in HIV Patients
This study is designed to evaluate specific factors in mitochondria that may precipitate premature aging and physical weakness in HIV patients. Angiotensin receptors 1 and 2 (AT1R and AT2R) are found in virtually every cell type.
