Exercise Metabolism

Research Impact/Research Interest

Insulin resistance of skeletal muscle glucose transport frequently occurs with glucose intolerance, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, essential hypertension, and central obesity. These multifaceted conditions are known as insulin resistance syndrome, a major risk factor of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Our laboratory has focused on studies in the following research areas:

  • Sex differences in the development of insulin resistance syndrome and cardio-metabolic risks including insulin resistance of skeletal muscle glucose uptake and hepatic steatosis

  • Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying diet- and hormone-induced insulin resistance syndrome

  • Mechanisms of exercise training on metabolic adaptions in skeletal muscle and liver tissues

  • Effectiveness of nutraceutical compounds for the treatment of insulin resistance syndrome
