    Research interests

    My research activity focuses on alterations in myocardial metabolism during obesity and type 2 diabetes and how such changes may influence the mechanical function of the heart, using the genetically diabetic (db/db) mouse, as well as diet-induced obese mice and rats as diabetic models. We have demonstrated marked changes in cardiac metabolism in these animals, with a clear over-reliance on fatty acid oxidation for energy production and a corresponding reduction in glucose oxidation. In addition, they show cardiomyopathy and/or reduced cardiac efficiency (the relationship between cardiac work and oxygen consumption), as well as reduced tolerance to ischemia-reperfusion.

    We are investigating possible mechanisms of diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction, hypothesizing that the metabolic disorders accompanying the diabetic state play a central role in the development of cardiac disease. Of particular interest is the transcriptional regulation of myocardial substrate supply and utilization via activation of the nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) - both in the heart, adipose tissue and liver. Current experimental activity includes use of various (lipid-lowering) PPAR agonists, exercise training and dietary modifications of metabolism to determine its impact on the mechanical function of the heart.
