Anna Horecka

Anna Horecka, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Chemistry at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, Medical University of Lublin. She is actively engaged in research within the domain of medical sciences, with a strong emphasis on oxidative stress, antioxidants, nitric oxide, and matrix metalloproteinases in human health and disease.

Her research interests focus on the biochemical and physiological changes associated with aging, degenerative diseases, and adenoma development. Using human clinical studies, she investigates gender-specific differences, vascular endothelial function, and the role of dietary and endogenous antioxidants. Her work frequently involves middle-aged and elderly populations, analyzing biomarkers such as gelatinases (MMP-2, MMP-9), oxidative stress markers, and nitric oxide metabolism.

The trend in her recent publications shows a consistent focus on the interplay between oxidative stress, inflammation, and chronic disease, particularly in colorectal adenoma and vascular dysfunction. Her studies often integrate biochemical assays with clinical data to explore preventive and diagnostic potentials.
