This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.Dr. Carson's project examines the mechanisms by which exercise reduces polyp formation in the cancer-predisposed ApcMin/+ mouse. Mechanisms of the effects are assessed. In addition, the project examines the cachexic process, i.e., muscle and fat loss, in aging ApcMin/+ mice. Cellular and molecular factors promoting cachexia, such as inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-6) and signaling molecules, are being examined as mediators of cachexia.
