The Non-Invasive Muscle Physiology Lab in the kinesiology department of the College of Education is conducting a research study to examine mitochondrial capacity in skeletal muscles of patients with Parkinson’s disease.
Individuals who have either been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease or are healthy individuals older than 60 who can serve as controls are needed. Participation will require a maximum of two hours. All procedures in the study are completely non-invasive. No needles will be used, and no blood or serum samples will be taken.
Anyone interested in participating or who would like more information, should email Nivita Sharma at nivita.sharma97@uga.edu or Kevin McCully at mccully@uga.edu.
