Gregory C. Henderson is an assistant professor in the department of Exercise Science and Sport Studies at Rutgers University.  He earned his Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley and subsequently undertook postdoctoral training at the Mayo Clinic in the Division of Endocrinology.  His research is focused upon effects of exercise on macronutrient metabolism in humans.  Differences between men and women and effects of aging are of central interest.  Dr. Henderson’s approach is to administer non-radioactive stable isotope-labeled metabolites (tracers) followed by mass spectrometry based analyses of blood and muscle samples.  Differences between populations and lifestyles for metabolite kinetics and energy substrate partitioning can indicate mechanisms underlying development of a person’s body composition, disease risks, and degree of functionality.
