Muscle Atrophy, Muscle Disuse Atrophy
Examining Sex-based Differences in Metabolic and Mechanistic Responses to Disuse Induced Muscle Atrophy
The purpose of the proposed research is to define whether there are differences between females and males (i.e. sex-based differences) in the metabolic and mechanistic regulation of disuse-induced muscle atrophy in vivo in humans.
