Brief Description
Measuring muscle mass through analysis of creatinine in urine samples. The company's proprietary D3Creatine dilution method to measure muscle mass, termed the Muscle Assessment Test (MAT), is being used to assess muscle mass in several NIH sponsored cohort studies including the Framingham Heart Study, Women's Health Inititiative, Tobago Longitudinal Aging Study, the Study on Muscle, Mobility, and Aging (SOMMA), and more. The goal is to achieve FDA approval for the MAT as a diagnostic test for muscle mass.
