Research

The research focus in the Hulver Laboratory is to better understand the  nutritional signals that contribute to dysregulated skeletal muscle substrate metabolism in disease states such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.  More specifically, we are studying the role of pro-inflammatory pathways in skeletal muscle lipid accumulation and how the activity of these pathways is exacerbated by over-nutrition.
