Mortensen Lab

Welcome to the Mortensen Lab at the University of Michigan

The major goal of my laboratory has been to understand basic mechanisms in the consequences and treatment of obesity, diabetes and related cardiovascular disease. Major focus has been on the role of PPAR (peroxisome proliferators-activate receptor) and mineralocorticoid (MR) transcription factors in inflammation, cell growth and cardiovascular disease (vascular and cardiac dysfunction in diabetes).
