Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kumari Karn's research investigates the long-term effects of prenatal and lactational exposure to antiretroviral therapy on rat offspring. Her work has focused on how such exposures impact the gut microbial composition and metabolic function in aged offspring, with particular attention to sex- and dose-dependent alterations. Karn has also explored the potential links between high-fat diets and the expression of Alzheimer's disease-related genes in the enteric mucosa of rat models. Her studies have examined changes in inflammatory cytokine profiles, intestinal permeability, and villi morphology in adult rat offspring following gestational and lactational exposure to HIV tri-combination therapy. Karn has published six papers and has a h-index of 2, with 21 total citations. She has collaborated extensively with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Kuppan Gokulan, Sangeeta Khare, Yaswanthi Yanamadala, and Chandra Mohan Reddy Muthumula.
