Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lillie Treas's research investigates the influence of environmental factors and inherent physiological characteristics on energy expenditure and metabolic health. Her work explores how housing temperature impacts whole-body energy expenditure and the thermogenic capacity of adipocytes in mice. Additionally, she studies the role of parental cardiorespiratory fitness in shaping early-life energetics and metabolic outcomes, examining how inborn fitness levels and exercise training modulate brown adipose tissue function and plasticity. Her recent publications also address the hypermetabolic and cachectic responses to burn injuries in mice, as well as alterations in peripheral blood mononuclear cell bioenergetics following burn injuries. Treas collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Craig Porter, D. Sadler, James D. Sikes, and Elisabet Børsheim, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
