The purpose of this study is to elucidate the role Endothelium-Derived Hyperpolarizing Factor
(EDHF) plays in dilating blood vessels and whether it differs between healthy people and
those with high cholesterol. A second purpose of the study is to determine the identity of
EDHF.

Muscle Perfusion and Protein Metabolism in Elderly

The purpose of this study was to examine the role skeletal muscle perfusion plays in
mediating muscle protein synthesis in healthy older and younger individuals. The
investigators hypothesized that normalization of muscle perfusion in older men and women via
exercise or infusion of a vasodilator would enhance nutritive flow and skeletal muscle
protein synthesis in the elderly similar to that of their younger counterparts.
