Study C-protein changes with fatigue and aging
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how a blood protein called C-protein relates to fatigue and aging, and how exercise affects it. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy and willing to do muscle testing and activity monitoring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be an adult age 18–35 or 65–80
- Be healthy overall based on your own report
- Be willing to have a muscle biopsy, do one-sided exercise, and wear/complete activity monitoring
- Be able to read and speak English for study steps and questionnaires
- Have no major joint problems (for example severe knee osteoarthritis or prior joint replacement)
- Have no serious uncontrolled health conditions such as heart, lung, liver, kidney disease, or known thyroid problems

This study tests whether a protein powder combined with resistance exercise can improve muscle and bone health in people with sarcopenia (age-related loss of muscle). It may help you become stronger and more mobile.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This study looks at proteins in the blood to understand muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with chronic lung disease. It aims to find better ways to detect and manage this condition.
This study looks at how the strength of your calf muscles affects the way your walking changes as you get older. By joining, you'll help researchers understand muscle aging, which could lead to better ways to keep people moving well.
