- Endothelial dysfunction
Demetra D. Christou
Texas A&M University, Assistant Professor
My research interests lie in investigating the mechanisms responsible for endothelial dysfunction, and in general, for alterations in
cardiovascular-autonomic function with aging and obesity in humans. In addition, I'm interested in the effect of lifestyle interventions
such as physical activity/exercise training and caloric restriction on cardiovascular-autonomic function
