Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Henry A. Paz's research investigates the intricate relationships between diet, the gut microbiome, and host physiology, with a particular focus on metabolic health and inflammatory processes. His work has explored how dietary interventions, such as blueberry supplementation, can mitigate vascular complications in diabetic mice by modulating the gut microbiota and reducing harmful metabolites like trimethylamine N-oxide. Paz has also examined the impact of environmental factors, such as heat stress, on the intestinal barrier and microbial communities in dairy calves. Additionally, his research has delved into the effects of feeding frequencies on the behavior and microbial composition of cattle. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 14, with 55 total publications and over 1,000 citations. He has collaborated extensively with colleagues at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Umesh D. Wankhade (22 shared publications), James D. Sikes (6 shared publications), and Anna‐Claire Pilkington (5 shared publications).
