Description: Serum TNF alpha, IL-1, IL6, CRP, uric acid, albumin, BNP, IGF-1 and growth hormone at baseline and at 6 months.

50 ml of blood will be collected at baseline and at 6 months. It will be divided into aliquots as follows; 10 ml in Pax-gene tubes for mRNA extraction, 20 ml for various other biomarkers, 10 ml for proteomics and 10 ml will be stored for any future use.

Approximately a 5x5 - 7x7mm muscle biopsy will be obtained from the mid thigh region of each subject at baseline and at six months
