Recently Yan and his colleagues from University of Virginia (Division of Cardiovascular Medicine) have published their latest findings in a well-known medical journal. According to their study exercise can protect both muscle and nerves from damage caused by the restoration of blood flow after injury or surgery. His team is working to better understand how the body is damaged by the restoration of blood flow (known as ischemia reperfusion injury) and to find ways to improve outcomes for people who suffer it, including surgery and trauma patients. Yan and his team used a "reporter gene" which he had developed , named as the MitoTimer to understand the effects of reperfusion injury on muscle and nerves. The reporter gene is to measure the amount of "oxidative stress" to the cells' powerplants ( mitochondria), when blood flow was restored.
