Professor in Molecular Exercise Physiology at NEXS, UCPH, DK. Main interest is striated muscle growth and metabolism.
In our latest paper, we show that inducible sk. muscle AXIN1 /2 double KO have normal AMPK, mTOR and glucose uptake regulation, questioning previously proposed dependencies on this scaffold protein. Thanks to all co-authors for their contributions

Muscle‐specific AXIN1 and AXIN2 double knockout does not alter AMPK/mTORC1 signalling or glucose metabolism
Abstract figure legend This study investigated the role of AXIN1 and AXIN2 in regulating skeletal muscle AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) sig....

Check out our latest paper challenging the long-standing belief that insulin elicits a transient H₂O₂ production. New insights into skeletal muscle redox signaling and insulin action 🤩
Our new paper in Redox Biol showing that insulin stimulation of skeletal muscle surprisingly does not detectably increase the ROS H2O2 using state-of-art methods in different models including humans, but in fact causes a selective reductive shift - enjoy

🚨Paper Alert 🚨: PanK4 Identified as Regulator of Glucose and Lipid #Metabolism. A new study led by mkleinert.bsky.social‬ at our DZD-Partne#DIfEfE has identified PanK4 as a key regulator of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
Curious about muscle metabolism? 🚴‍♂️ We reveal PanK4 as a conserved exercise target in muscle! 💪 PanK4 regulates lipid & glucose use likely via acetyl-CoA. We think PanK4 belongs alongside Akt, mTOR, AMPK, Rac1 & more as a key player in muscle energy homeostasis. #Metabolism #MyoBlue

Our new FASEBJ paper. We looked into mTOR Ser1261 phosphorylation in human and mouse muscle, proposed by Diane Fingar's lab to be first an Akt and then AMPK site regulating mTORC1 and 2 activity. Clearly AMPK site but impact on mTORC unclear in our hands faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/...
mTOR Ser1261 is an AMPK‐dependent phosphosite in mouse and human skeletal muscle not required for mTORC2 activity
mTOR Ser1261 is an AMPK-dependent phosphosite in human and mouse skeletal muscle that responds to exercise but not insulin, plays an unclear role in mTORC1 regulation, and is not required for mTORC2 ....
