| About: |
Christos Katsanos
received his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from Florida State
University. Prior to joining the Department of Kinesiology and the
Center for Metabolic Biology at ASU, in the Fall of 2006, Dr.
Katsanos performed a postdoctoral fellowship in metabolic research
at the University of Texas Medical Branch, Department of Surgery.

| Research: |
Dr. Katsanos
conducts research in the area of nutrient metabolism in humans,
in vivo. His laboratory utilizes stable isotope tracer
techniques and mass spectrometry to assess the metabolism of fat,
glucose and protein under various physiologic and pathophysiologic
circumstances. Of particular interest is the role of obesity in
modifying substrate metabolism in skeletal muscle. The goal of this
research is to elucidate the mechanisms that explain
obesity-associated substrate metabolism abnormalities, while
attempting to improve glucose disposal, fat oxidation, and muscle
protein anabolism through exercise and nutritional interventions. |
