Bruzina publishes in AJP-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology
Dr. Angela Bruzina, recent SoK graduate, has published an article on research showing males and females respond differently to muscle loss injuries in how they process food and store fat.
Angela Bruzina, PhD, a recent graduate of the School of Kinesiology and member of the Skeletal Muscle Plasticity and Regeneration Laboratory (SMPRL), directed by Sarah M. Greising, PhD, published an article “Novel assessment of post-prandial metabolism reveals sex-specific metabolic flexibility and lipid remodeling following volumetric muscle loss” in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology. Co-authors of the article include lab members and colleagues Braydon Crum, Leo Goodman, Yan Er Ng, Rachel Hawe, DPT, PhD, Jarrod Call, PhD (University of Georgia), and Greising. The paper, which is part of Bruzina's dissertation, had two major goals. First to develop a novel, freely ambulatory pre-clinical tool to assess dynamic post-prandial metabolic flexibility. Second, to understand metabolic flexibility after volumetric muscle loss injury, the work evaluated how metabolic flexibility was disrupted and how it impacted lipid-handling and ectopic lipid accumulation after injury.
