Analysis of changes in biochemical markers in Multiple Sclerosis patients in response to exercise
Investigators: A/Prof Gillian Renshaw, Prof Lyn Griffiths and Dr Simon Broadley
Email Address: g.renshaw@griffith.edu.au
This project is a collaboration with the Gold Coast Hospital and the School of Medical Science which is designed to examine whether there are changes in the level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and markers of oxidative stress which underpin physiological, biochemical and neurological mechanisms that could contribute to the reduction in the severity of symptoms in MS patients. Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease which reportedly responds to exercise. Subjects report a spectrum of beneficial changes such as increased functionality, reduction of symptoms and increased feeling of well being.
