  • 1999 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

Alan N. Schechter is affiliated with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with a significant emphasis on physiology as a subfield. Other subfields of study include complementary and alternative medicine, animal science and zoology, biochemistry, and genetics.

The scientist's work frequently addresses topics such as nitric oxide and endothelin effects, cardiovascular and exercise physiology, pharmacological effects and assays, eicosanoids and hypertension pharmacology, sulfur compounds in biology, neuroscience of respiration and sleep, and hemoglobinopathies and related disorders.

Alan N. Schechter has contributed to numerous publications, including recent papers that characterize various aspects of nitrate metabolism and effects on muscle and tissues. Notable papers include:

  • Time course of human skeletal muscle nitrate and nitrite concentration changes following dietary nitrate ingestion (2022, Nitric Oxide)
  • 15N-labeled dietary nitrate supplementation increases human skeletal muscle nitrate concentration and improves muscle torque production (2023, Acta Physiologica)
  • Potential roles of nitrate and nitrite in nitric oxide metabolism in the eye (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Distribution of dietary nitrate and its metabolites in rat tissues after 15N-labeled nitrate administration (2023, Scientific Reports)
  • Preparation of Rat Skeletal Muscle Homogenates for Nitrate and Nitrite Measurements (2021, Journal of Visualized Experiments)

The scientist has collaborated frequently with several co-authors, including Barbora Piknova, Ji Won Park, Anni Vanhatalo, Andrew M. Jones, and Lee J. Wylie.

Alan N. Schechter's research has been published repeatedly in specific journals and venues, particularly in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise and Physiology, each with three publications. Scientific Reports and Journal of Visualized Experiments have two publications each, as does Nutrients.

Alan N. Schechter was recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 1999.
