معرفی
Eddie Weitzberg is a Professor in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology at Karolinska Institutet. He specializes in anesthesiology, pharmacology, and physiology, with a focus on nitric oxide (NO) signaling, cardiovascular health, and metabolic disorders. His research explores the roles of dietary nitrate and nitrite in vascular function, blood pressure regulation, and tissue protection under hypoxic conditions. He is part of the Pharmacological nitric oxide research group led by Jon Lundberg.
Research Interests: His work spans nitric oxide biochemistry, the interaction between diet and cardiovascular health, and the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Key areas include the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway, microbiome interactions, and translational applications of NO signaling in clinical settings like coronary surgery and chronic diseases.
Publications Trends: Recent articles highlight dietary interventions (e.g., Flexovital, nitrate supplementation), animal models of metabolic syndrome, and molecular mechanisms of NO in the vasculature. His work bridges basic science and clinical implications, such as cardioprotection in myocardial infarction and Alzheimer’s risk assessment.
Grants & Funding: He has received grants from the Swedish Heart-Lung Foundation and the Swedish Research Council for projects in cardiovascular and metabolic research. Collaborations include studies on nitrate’s effects on longevity and cancer in rats, and clinical trials on nitrate in coronary surgery patients.
Labs/Teams: He co-leads the Pharmacological nitric oxide research group with Jon Lundberg, focusing on innovative therapies and understanding NO’s role in health and disease.
