Biographical Info

Research Interest

My research focusses on studying the mechanisms by which Intermittent Hypoxia inhibits Mitochondrial complex I activity. The study reveals three novel findings: (i) IH-evoked mitochondrial complex I inhibition requires Reactive Oxygen Species generation by NADPH Oxidase 2 and Ca2+-dependent S-glutathionylation of complex I subunits, (ii) inhibition of complex I increases mitochondrial ROS, and (iii) mitochondrial ROS contributes to sustained but not transient elevations in blood pressure in IH-treated rats.
