MOLECULAR PROCESSES OF THE RELAXATION RESPONSE IN OLDER ADULTS

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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. The first aim of this study is to quantify the magnitude of relaxation-response by comparing oxygen consumption during rest versus during elicitation of the relaxation response in older adults. The second aim is to evaluate acute changes in molecular markers during relaxation-response elicitation. Finally, the third aim of the study is to evaluate the chronic molecular markers over the 8 weeks of relaxation-response training.
