Join Niels Jessen (Head of Research at Steno Diabetes Centre, Aarhus), Tim Heise (Chief Scientific Officer at Profil) and Lars Johansson (Chief Scientific Officer at Antaros Medical) as they discuss all things muscle in the upcoming webinar; Underneath the lost kilos: Muscle composition, preservation and function. The webinar will take place live on April 28 at 17:00 CEST (8:00 PDT / 11:00 EDT).
Changes in body composition, especially those related to muscle, have become increasingly important for accurately interpreting treatment effects during weight loss. For example, loss of muscle fat should not be mistaken for loss of muscle volume, and preserving muscle volume should not be misinterpreted as a lack of weight-loss efficacy. Specific muscle composition changes can also have different effects on metabolic health, physical function and clinical outcomes.
Niels, Tim and Lars will discuss why we should look at muscle changes in weight loss, how we can measure such changes and what the implications of these insights could be for drug development, addressing key questions like:
- What are the different components of muscle composition and why are they biologically, clinically and functionally relevant to study?
- Which techniques and methodologies are available (e.g. MRI) for assessing muscle composition and which one should I use in my clinical trial?
- Why are regulatory authorities interested in and what is meant by muscle preservation?
