Ian Macdonald’s research interests are concerned with the functional consequences of metabolic and nutritional disturbances in health and disease, with specific interests in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and exercise. A major feature has been the study of multiple body systems to evaluate whole body responses.
