-
Protein boost during the luteal phase to help protect muscle
This study tests whether increasing daily protein intake by 12% during the luteal phase can help prevent muscle breakdown in premenopausal women aged 18–35.
-
Beef-Protein Ready-to-Eat Meals to Support Firefighter Recovery
This study tests whether beef-based ready-to-eat meals help firefighters recover better after simulated firefighting tasks, compared with plant-based meals.
-
How pork protein affects recovery after simulated firefighting
This study tests whether pork-based meals help firefighters recover better and perform sooner after hard simulated fire drills, compared with plant-based meals or carbohydrate-focused meals.
-
Grappling with Trauma: BJJ for First Responders
This program tests whether eight weeks of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be tied to changes in trauma-related symptoms for first responders who prefer movement-based activities over traditional mental health services.
-
Understanding the health of osteopathic medical students during their training
This study looks at how the overall health of osteopathic medical students changes during their training to better understand their mental, physical, and metabolic well-being over time.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for managing Type 2 Diabetes in rural communities
This study is testing a new one-day program that combines therapy and lifestyle education to help people with Type 2 Diabetes in rural areas better manage their condition.
NIH-funded research (9)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
How mixed metal exposures affect children's brain health in rural Bangladesh
This project helps Bangladeshi scientists learn better ways to measure how mixtures of metals like arsenic, lead, manganese, and cadmium may harm children's brain development.
-
Understanding how muscle wasting in cancer might start in a fruit-fly model
Researchers are studying why cancer causes muscle loss by using a fruit-fly model to see if problems with a muscle protein, myosin heavy chain, kick off cachexia.
-
Enhanced imaging tool for cancer and biology research at a rural medical school
A high-speed spinning disk confocal microscope will be purchased to support cancer, neurobiology, reproductive biology, and toxicology research and education at SHSU-COM.
-
Metabolic and Cardiopulmonary Analyzer System to Prepare Students for Careers in Exercise Science
This grant funds a state-of-the-art metabolic analyzer with ECG and plethysmography to help students learn how the heart and lungs respond to exercise and energy use.
-
Transforming Rural Health: Mobile Health Clinics to Reach More People
A researcher team is testing how to better use mobile health clinics in rural Oklahoma to help people access chronic disease care, testing, and vaccines.
-
Do tumors trigger muscle wasting by disrupting myosin?
Researchers will use a fruit fly tumor model to find out if early changes in myosin cause the muscle wasting that happens with cancer, with the goal of helping people who develop cachexia.
-
Mixed-metal effects on children's brain health in rural Bangladesh
This project trains local scientists to look at how exposure to metals like arsenic, lead, manganese, and cadmium may harm thinking and development in children living in rural Bangladesh.
-
Investigating how tumors cause muscle wasting in fruit flies
This study is looking at how muscle wasting happens in cancer patients by using fruit flies to understand what goes wrong with muscle proteins, which could help find ways to spot and treat this issue earlier.
-
Investigating the effects of toxic metals on brain health in children in rural Bangladesh
This study is looking at how harmful metals in the environment, like arsenic and lead, can affect the brain health and behavior of children in rural Bangladesh, while also helping local scientists learn more about this important issue.
