OverviewAI-generated summary
Nathan C. Twaddle's research investigates the toxicological effects of various substances, particularly inorganic arsenic, on biological systems. His work has explored how inorganic arsenic impacts neuronal development in zebrafish, specifically affecting dopaminergic and motor neurons through pathways like Sonic hedgehog. Twaddle has also examined the gene expression alterations induced by inorganic arsenic, linking them to apoptosis in zebrafish.
In addition to arsenic, Twaddle's research extends to the effects of dietary components, such as soy protein concentrates with varying isoflavone levels, on metabolic health. Studies have investigated these effects in rat models, focusing on serum isoflavone levels, inflammatory markers, and the reversal of obesity-induced liver steatosis. His work has also included the analysis of elemental impurities in cannabis following vaporization.
Twaddle collaborates with researchers from the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Jyotshnabala Kanungo, Frederick A. Beland, and Camila Silva, as well as Reza Hakkak from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He has a h-index of 34, with 61 publications and over 4,000 citations.
