Exercise’s Impact on Cardiometabolic Function: from Extracellular Vesicles to Adipose Tissue Remodeling

Overview

Join us for a 2-speaker webinar to learn about the latest published developments in exercise physiology research. We will unravel the impact of acute exercise on fasting and insulin-stimulated extracellular vesicles and will delve into the effects of exercise training on adipose tissue remodeling.

Learning Objectives:

Speaker 1 (Dr. Malin):

To learn the role and function of extracellular vesicles
To describe a way insulin may impact extracellular vesicles to influence vascular function
To identify an effect of exercise on extracellular vesicles during fasted and insulin-stimulated states in adults

Speaker 2 (Dr. Nigro):

To understand the effects of exercise training on inguinal white adipose tissue remodeling, including changes in the extracellular matrix, vascularization, and innervation
To explore how exercise training promotes a change from a cellular hypertrophic (“unhealthy”) to an insulin sensitive (“healthy”) adipocyte phenotype and how all these changes can result in healthier adipose tissue

Moderator

Kristin I. Stanford, PhD, FAHA
Professor
Department of Surgery, General and Gastrointestinal Surgery
Department of Internal Medicine, Endocrinology
Associate Director, Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute
Associate Director, Diabetes and Metabolism Research Center

Dr. Stanford received her Ph.D. at the University of California San Diego in Biomedical Sciences and completed her postdoctoral training at the Joslin Diabetes Center / Harvard Medical School in Integrative Physiology and Metabolism. She joined the faculty at The Ohio State University in 2015. The overall focus of her research is to determine the novel molecular mechanisms of exercise that improve metabolic health. This will be broken down into two major aspects: 1) To determine exercise-induced adaptations to white and brown adipose tissue; and 2) to ascertain the effects of parental exercise on the metabolic and cardiovascular health of offspring.

Steven K. Malin, PhD, FACSM

Dr. Steven Malin is currently an Associate Professor with dual appointments in the Department of Kinesiology and Health as well as the Department of Medicine Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Nutrition at Rutgers University. Dr. Malin is Director of the Applied Metabolism & Physiology Laboratory (AMP-lab) in the School of Arts and Sciences, and his working hypothesis is that insulin resistance is the key factor promoting chronic diseases, including metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. To tackle this, he views exercise as a drug and studies the interaction of exercise with diet and medication to optimize well-being.

Pasquale Nigro, PhD
Instructor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
Research Associate, Joslin Diabetes Center
Pasquale.nigro@joslin.harvard.edu

Dr. Pasquale Nigro is a Research Associate at Joslin Diabetes center and is an Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, with expertise in discovering molecular mechanisms of adipose tissue neuronal remodeling and metabolic disease, with emphasis on lipid metabolism and tissue remodeling in response to exercise training.
