The major goals of this center grant is to conduct basic and clinical research on ways for elderly
Americans to lead a more independent life for as long as possible. The center is focused on the effect
of aging on skeletal muscle and protein metabolism. The ability of androgens and nutritional
supplements to reduce the loss of muscle in the elderly is tested.
