|
Abel’s research elucidates the molecular mechanisms leading to cardiac dysfunction in diabetes and the regulation of myocardial growth and metabolism by insulin signaling. |

Research Interests
|
|
The Abel laboratory has provided important insights into the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction and aberrant insulin signaling to heart failure risk in diabetes. Recent work has focused on mitochondrial mechanisms that mediate inter-organ crosstalk and influence the pathophysiology of insulin resistance, and mitochondrial pathways linking metabolism with increased risk for atherothrombosis. |
