Metabolic Impairments Subject of New Professor’s Research
Nicholas Greene
Nicholas Greene, an assistant professor of exercise science, joined the faculty of the College of Education and Health Professions at the University of Arkansas this fall.
Greene received a doctorate in kinesiology from Texas A&M University in 2010. He has most recently served as a post-doctoral research fellow in molecular biology of skeletal muscle at the University of Virginia. His primary research interests are in the conditions that lead to skeletal muscle metabolic impairments associated with obesity and insulin resistance.
Greene’s work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of the etiology of these diseases and by what mechanisms exercise and exercise training may correct the related dysfunctions. At Texas A&M, he worked on assessing potential mechanisms by which exercise training may correct dyslipidemia in obesity. At Virginia, his work focused on lipid overload-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and its relationship to insulin resistance.
