Projects
- Effect of dietary milk and dairy (M&D) food intake on body weight and cardio- metabolic health in young children
- USDA/ARS (07/2019 - 06/2024)
- Houston
- The goal of this project is to determine the effect of habitual M&D foods consumption on energy balance and whether they also have a protective effect against early cardiovascular and metabolic diseases
- Obesity-Related Glycine Deficiency: Investigating a Long-standing Metabolic Paradox Using Bedside and Bench Approaches.
- National Medical Research Council of Singapore (08/2018 - 03/2022)
- Singapore
- The goal of this project is to test the hypothesize that low glycine concentration in morbid obesity is due to an increase in glycine utilization to support GSH synthesis and that GSH concentration is significantly low in morbid obesity because of elevated oxidative stress.
- Role of FGF21 in the pathogenesis of HIV-associated metabolic disease
- NIH (12/2020 - 12/2025)
- Houston
- The goal of this project is to establish mechanistic connections between increased FGF21 levels, WAT browning and the observed metabolic abnormalities in Vpr mice and in persons living with HIV infection.
- Arginine and nitric oxide synthesis in the pathogenesis of ketosis-prone diabetes
- NIH (04/2014 - 12/2021)
- Houston
- The goal of this project is to determine whether abnormal metabolism of arginine, citrulline, glutamine and nitric oxide underlie insulin secretory defects in KPD
