APS Effects of Ovarian Failure on Muscle Form and Function

In this webinar, Parastoo Mashouri, MSc, will offer a nuanced perspective on the time-course changes in muscle function throughout menopause. She will discuss her findings on the contractile properties of skeletal muscles at the single fiber level and will explore the fatty infiltration and fibrosis that occurs in muscles post-ovarian failure which affects overall muscle health and function. This session will also highlight the broader implications of these changes, emphasizing the importance of studying the muscles during perimenopause. Mashouri will explain how understanding the physiological changes during this critical transitional phase of life can lead to potential strategies for lessening the negative effects of menopause on women’s health.
