Oxygen & Muscle Metabolism Lab

We're hitting the ground running! Special thanks to the @UmassKin Muscle Biology Lab for letting us collaborate with them on their CHAMP study! @UMassSPHHS @UMassIALS #mitochondria #SlowMoMonday

🚨 New Publication! 🚨 We show that cigarette smoke directly inhibits mitochondrial electron convergence and adenine transfer via ANT. Great work by @decker_st! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨 New lab publication! 🚨

New publication! Effects of cigarette smoke on in situ mitochondrial substrate oxidation of slow- and fast-twitch skeletal muscles. The first (1/3) publication of my dissertation! PubMed: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36646379/ Life Sciences: doi.org/10.1016/j.lfs.… 1/n

Free article text! 🔗 authors.elsevier.com/c/1gMmj3AkHAa4…

New publication! Exciting news to close out 2022 and welcome 2023!

Article accepted in Free Rad Biol & Med. More details to come soon. Merry Christmas to us!

New year, new experiments, same wonderful undergraduate assistants! We're very happy to have these helping hands back and eager to start our new and ongoing projects!

Running some microdialysis experiments this morning! @UMassIALS @UmassKin

Back in the lab again! Pilot testing our new heat therapy project! Get in contact with us for more details

Our visiting student from Italy, Gaia, is running great simultaneous H2O2 & respirometry pilot experiments in permeabilized cardiac muscle from mice! #BravaBravaBrava @UmassKin @UMassIALS

We're recruiting! We're looking for adults for several research studies involving how muscle and blood delivery changes with age. For more information: sites.google.com/umass.edu/o2m-… @UmassKin @UMassIALS @UMassSPHHS

We're in the final stages of getting our plantar flexion ergometer fully running. We will blood flow using Doppler Ultrasound during small muscle mass exercise! Also showing some spirit by wearing a nature-related shirt on #WildWednesday @UMassIALS @UmassKin @UMassSPHHS

@UMassIALS @UMassAmherst @UmassKin @UMassSPHHS Running protocols on the Oroboros O2K Oxygraph #mitochondria

Doppler Ultrasound practice for our assessment of vascular function! We're getting ready for our upcoming studies! @UmassKin @UMassSPHHS @UMassAmherst @UMassIALS

We're so excited to be up and running! Check back soon for updates on upcoming studies and events!
