OVERVIEW

In this webinar, we will explore the latest published developments in basic and clinical exercise physiology research. We have taken an integrative approach as we explore some of the beneficial metabolic and vascular responses to exercise training, ranging from mouse models to adults with and without cardiometabolic disease.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Using an animal model, explore the connection between gluconeogenesis and liver lipid balance in the context of acute exercise, as well as its significance in the effectiveness of regular exercise in preventing fatty liver disease.

2. A detailed analysis of existing systematic review, focusing on their strengths, gaps, and limitations, to provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of exercise training on arterial stiffness in adults.

Lisa Chow, MD, MS
University of Minnesota School of Medicine

Dr. Chow is currently a Professor with Tenure in the Department of Medicine, Director for the Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism Division, and Director of the NIH/NIDDK Diabetes T32 Research Training Program at the University of Minnesota. She is a NIH-funded academic endocrinologist who is engaged in clinical/translational research examining the effects of lifestyle interventions for management of obesity, insulin resistance, and prediabetes. Formally trained in clinical research, her studies involve conducting in vivo human studies with various interventions (lipid infusion, exercise, diet) and mechanistic physiological measures. She also serves as an Associate Editor of Diabetes and the current Chair for the ADA Exercise Physiology Interest Group.

Curtis Hughey, PhD
University of Minnesota

The overarching objective of research in the Hughey Laboratory is to identify metabolic nodes and pathways that can be targeted to prevent or treat metabolic diseases that burden our healthcare system. To accomplish this aim, studies combine the use of stable isotopes, mass spectrometry, and computational modeling to quantify in vivo metabolic fluxes in genetically-engineered mice. Areas of research focus are: 1. Defining key metabolic nodes through which exercise prevents dysregulated liver glucose and lipid metabolism. 2. Understanding the role of sulfur amino acid availability in promoting the metabolic underpinnings of steatotic liver diseases and hepatocellular carcinoma. 

Haoxuan Liu, MSc
University of Alberta

Haoxuan is a PhD student at the University of Alberta. He is interested in the impact of mental stress, sedentary behavior, and exercise on arterial health.
