Dr. Espen Spangenburg, associate professor of kinesiology, and his laboratory team are the first to identify that the BRCA1 protein is expressed in the
skeletal muscle of both mice and
humans, and that it plays a key role in fat storage, insulin response and mitochondrial function in
skeletal muscle cells.

«Whales and other deep - diving marine mammals can pack 10 to 20 times more myoglobin into their
cells than
humans can, and that allows them to «download» oxygen directly into their
