Research
Appetite regulation and vascular / metabolic disease: Research in appetite regulation emphasizes the effects of bioactive food components on mechanistic and behavioral processes of food intake and body weight regulation. Properties of fibers, micro- and macro-molecule interactions, and food matrix effects in the gut to alter metabolic and endocrine systems that impact feeding behavior are a primary focus. Vascular and metabolic research emphasizes dietary attributes contributing to and preventing atherosclerotic disease, diabetes and related metabolic dysregulation. Plant bioactives, specifically flavonoids, on disease risk endpoints are of particular interest, including bioavailability, pharmacokinetics and the relationship to endothelium function, platelet activation, insulin and glucose metabolism, inflammatory and oxidative stress responses during acute and chronic interventions. The research approach includes human and basic science methodology.
