The Role of Glycogen and Anabolic Genes

Dr. John Hawley stop by the MD Research Show to talk about his new study regarding the role of muscle glycogen and its affect on genes for anabolism.

Professor John Hawley is currently Head of the Exercise Metabolism Research Group and Professor of Exercise Metabolism in the School of Medical Sciences at RMIT Life Sciences. The focus of the Exercise Metabolism Research Group is on aspects of skeletal muscle energy metabolism related to exercise and diabetes, with a particular emphasis on the regulation of carbohydrate and fat metabolism and the mechanisms regulating their use as substrates for muscle during rest and exercise. The use of dietary and exercise interventions in both animal and human models are employed to assess the impact of these perturbations on both whole body metabolism and organ specific sites. In addition, the regulation of muscle membrane excitability and mechanisms of muscle fatigue have been investigated in both healthy and diseased populations.

Professor Hawley’s research group has established collaborations with international groups such as Karolinska Institute Sweden, the Copenhagen Muscle Research Centre in Denmark, the University of Waterloo in Canada, the Garvan Medical Research Institute Sydney and the Australian Institute of Sport Canberra. The research is supported by The Australian Research Council, GlaxoSmithKline (U.K.), The Australian Sports Commission, and Nestle (Switzerland).
