Research Interests
Investigation of molecular mechanisms of gasotransmiters (NO, CO and H2S), as well as reactive nitrogen and oxygen species action in regulation of fundamental cellular processes - proliferation, hyperplasia, angiogenesis, mitochondriogenesis in pathological and physiological states, as well as during adaptation to specific environmental conditions. Current research interest is investigation of gasotransmiters function in human reproduction; have just applied new therapeutic approaches using novel NO content modulators in the treatment of metabolic disorders, as well as infertile states accompanied by mitochondrial impairments and/or disturbed sperm redox-state.
