Introducing...
...faculty sponsor, Dr. John Konhilas, Assistant
Professor, Physiology. The Konhilas
lab is interested in how the physiological factors of diet,
exercise, disease and sex/gender impact energy substrates
and/or signaling intermediates in the heart and how these,
in turn, affect the ability of the heart to contract using
a variety of molecular, cellular, and physiological techniques.
They are also studying how heart disease leads to skeletal
muscle weakness focusing on similar signaling intermediates. Key
words: cardiac mechanics and function, sex, exercise, cell
signaling, energy substrate and signaling
