My primary areas of research interest during my academic career included 1) regulation of insulin signaling and the glucose transport system in normal and insulin-resistant mammalian skeletal muscle by hormonal factors, exercise, aging and development, and pharmaceutical intervention; and 2) adaptive responses of carbohydrate and protein metabolism in skeletal and cardiac muscle to acute and chronic alterations in muscle contractile activity, including exercise training, weightlessness, and denervation.
