MEASUREMENT OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF MUSCLE OPTICAL PROPERTIES

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 近红外光谱(NIRS)在肌肉组织中的测量非常丰富，但很少有人研究正常肌肉组织中的光学性质是如何变化的。我们建议研究各种因素如何影响肌肉组织的光学特性： (1)肌肉光学特性如何随年龄、性别和肌肉健康水平的变化而变化？ (2)肌肉光学特性在不同时间尺度(每天、每周)上的差异有多大？ (3)肌肉光学特性的变化如何表明对运动训练的反应(无论是短期还是长期)？

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Measurements using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) are abundant in muscle tissues, yet very little has been studied in terms of how optical properties changes in normal muscle tissues. We propose to study how various factors influence the optical properties of muscle tissues: (1) How do muscle optical properties vary with age, gender, and muscle fitness level? (2) How much do muscle optical properties vary on different timescales (daily, weekly)? (3) How do changes in muscle optical properties indicate response to exercise training (both short term and long term)?
