Jan Górski

Jan Górski is a Professor in the Department of Physiology at the Medical University of Bialystok, Faculty of Medicine. His research focuses on muscle physiology, lipid metabolism, and exercise-related mechanisms. Key interests include skeletal muscle function, cardiovascular physiology, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes. He has authored/co-authored over 300 publications, including textbooks like 'Fizjologia i patofizjologia' and 'Fizjologia wysiłku i treningu fizycznego'.

Research Highlights:

• Investigates lipolytic systems in myocardium and adipose tissue under disease states
• Examines effects of exercise on lipid and antioxidant systems in skeletal muscle
• Explores insulin signaling defects in metabolic disorders using rodent models

Recent Work Trends (2020-2024):

Focus on coronary artery disease mechanisms, myostatin's cardiac role, and exercise-induced biomarker changes. Active in translating lipid metabolism research into clinical understanding of metabolic syndrome.

Advising & Grants:

Promoted multiple theses (detailed in 'Promoted theses' section) but no specific grant information provided here. Leads a research team investigating exercise physiology and metabolic pathways.
