William Duranti

William Duranti is an Associate Professor at the University of Rome "Foro Italico", Department of Human Motor Sciences and Health (SSD). His research focuses on oxidative stress, redox homeostasis, and muscle metabolism, particularly in the context of physical exercise and cellular aging. He investigates the effects of antioxidant molecules and drugs on muscle cells, with applications in understanding muscle atrophy and exercise-induced adaptations.

Research Interests: Duranti’s work spans cellular and molecular mechanisms of muscle differentiation, polyamine metabolism in skeletal muscle, and the biochemical response to antioxidant supplementation. His studies utilize both in vitro models and in vivo murine models to explore these pathways. Recent projects include evaluating Tadalafil’s impact on redox status and studying Moringa oleifera’s effects on muscle cells.

Articles Trends: His publications highlight a focus on exercise physiology, pharmacological interventions, and natural compounds. Research spans from molecular mechanisms (e.g., Nrf2/HO-1 pathways) to clinical applications (e.g., breast cancer and gut microbiota).

Labs & Projects: Collaborates at the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Lab. Leads the international project “NO CLOT” exploring anticoagulant compounds from meloidi biodiversity. Engaged in teaching courses like Biologia e Biochimica applicate allo sport and Adattamenti biologici dell'attività motoria.
