Research summary

Carol A. Witczak studies how skeletal muscle takes up and uses glucose, focusing on the glucose transporter protein GLUT4 and how factors like exercise, muscle injury, and insulin resistance affect muscle metabolism. Her work uses animal and human models to explore links between muscle function, diabetes, and related conditions, and extends to how these systems interact with immunity and hormones. Topics include muscle regeneration, mitochondrial function, and sex-based differences in metabolic disease.
