UAMS Scientist to Discuss Exercise for Elderly Dec. 9 UAMS scientist Charlotte Peterson, Ph.D., will deliver a scientific lecture on the implications of exercise for the elderly in the Alzheimer’s Seminar Series. Peterson will speak on “The Role of Inflammatory Response in Muscle Adaptation to Exercise in the Elderly” Tues., Dec. 9, noon-1 p.m. in Sam Walton Auditorium on the 10th floor of the Arkansas Cancer Research Center (ACRC) at UAMS. The free lecture will be for scientific faculty, students, researchers, and health care professionals, but the public is welcome. Lunch will be provided for the first 70 attendees. Peterson has demonstrated through her research that stem cells in muscles tend to turn into fat-like cells as people age. This may contribute to frailty and reduced ability to recover from muscle injuries. She is part of a team of scientists studying whether the same genes are at work in muscle loss, bone loss, and memory loss, and other common factors. Those visiting from off-campus for the lecture can park in the Outpatient Parking Deck, located across Jack Stephens Drive from ACRC. Parking will be validated for those who sign in at the lecture.

J.L. Mehta of UAMS Receives Prestigious International Research Award J.L. Mehta of UAMS Receives Prestigious International Research Award, LITTLE ROCK -- Jawahar L. Mehta, M.D., Ph.D., director of cardiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), has received the prestigious Albrecht Fleckenstein Memorial Award for identifying a specific gene associated with heart attacks. Mehta accepted the award for contributions to basic research in cardiology from the International Academy of Cardiology at the Third World Congress on Heart Disease in Washington D.C. He is professor of internal medicine and director of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine in the UAMS College of Medicine, and the Howard and Elsie Stebbins Chair in Cardiology at UAMS. An international research team, led by Mehta, identified a cholesterol receptor cell known as the Lecton-like Oxidized (LOX) LDL receptor, and has found a genetic link to the performance of the LOX-1 receptor gene. People with a malfunctioning or abnormal LOX-1 gene appear to be almost three times more likely to suffer heart attack. Only one Fleckenstein winner is chosen each year by a 15-member nominating committee of the International Academy. He becomes the sixth winner of the award named after the German cardiovascular pathologist best known for discovering the link between calcium and heart disease.
