Funded Activity Summary
Proteomic techniques to assess oxidative stress in muscle wasting diseases. Australia will experience a significant increase in the proportion of its population that is over 65 years of age over the next 50 years. There will be an increased demand for health services related to injury from falls unless effective preventive strategies are put in place. Loss of muscle mass contributes to falls, so development of preventative strategies has the potential for considerable benefits. Oxidative stress is a key intermediary in muscle wasting. This PhD project examines a possible mechanism by which oxidative stress causes muscle wasting. An appropriately tailored therapy to minimise oxidative stress has the potential to ameliorate loss of muscle mass.Funded Activity Details
