Research Interests
- Overall research interests: Lipid homeostasis; Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH); Diabetes; Nutrition
- My specific research interests are focused on the role that hepatocyte PPARgamma plays in the development of hepatic liver disease and how hepatocyte PPARgamma regulates postprandial dyslipidemia.
- We use tissue-specific knockout mouse models to perform experiments in live animals to assess physiological processes: diet-induced obesity, diet-induced steatosis and NASH, glucose and insulin tolerance tests, bleedding in different metabolic conditions to measure metabolic endpoints, etc. In addition, we use a wide spectrum of molecular biology techniques to address our hypothesis in samples derived from in vivo studies: qRT-PCR, western-blots, GC/MS, LC/MS, etc.
