We’re excited to share that AdventHealth Research Institute’s latest review—authored by Drs. Katie Whytock and Bret Goodpaster—has been published in Circulation Research as part of the Compendium on Cardiopulmonary Disease and Exercise: Molecular to Clinical Mechanisms. This comprehensive article explores how various cell types in skeletal muscle regulate insulin and glucose delivery, transport, and metabolism. It also examines how these processes are impaired in skeletal muscle insulin resistance and how both acute and chronic exercise training can improve metabolic function. This publication highlights our ongoing commitment to advancing research at the intersection of muscle biology, metabolism, and cardiovascular health.
