- Aging, post-menopausal women, cardiovascular disease risk, and mitochondrial dynamics
- Animal models include rodent aging, estrogen deficiency, ischemia-reperfusion injury, chronic ethanol ingestion, and exercise
- Estrogen receptor and PKC-dependent protective signaling in relation to oxidant stress
Post-menopausal women, aging and cardiovascular disease risk; animal models of estrogen deficiency, ischemia-reperfusion injury and cardioprotection with a particular emphasis on estrogen receptors, PKC-dependent signaling and exercise.
