Research Interest

• The role of reactive oxygen species and markers of inflammation in the pathogenesis of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
• Determining the link between glucose/lipid toxicity and reactive oxygen species formation in the etiology of beta cell dysfunction leading to type II diabetes.
• The relationship between skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and insulin signaling.
• Developing nutritional and exercise strategies that can reduce oxidative stress/inflammation, and restore metabolic and cardiovascular function.
