Study Testing Benefits of Ursolic Acid (UA) as a Countermeasure To Myopenia and Insulin Resistance in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Subjects will take an oral 400mg (8 capsules - 4 in the morning/200mg and 4 at night/200mg) supplement of UA every day for 12 weeks.

Subjects will perform 3 sets of 10 repetitions of concentric and eccentric upper body exercises (bicep curls and tricep extensions) each session. Each session will last approximately 10-15 minutes of weightlifting with a 2-minute rest period between sets. The arm selected for exercise will be randomized.
