Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Saki Fukuda's research focuses on the pharmacological effects of opioids and related compounds, often utilizing animal models to investigate mechanisms of action and potential therapeutic interventions. Recent work includes the development of automated methods for quantifying opioid withdrawal symptoms in neonatal rat pups and the pharmacological characterization of fentanyl analogs. Fukuda has also investigated the antidepressant effects of medium-chain triglycerides and the use of deuterated buprenorphine to mitigate fentanyl's impact in pregnant rats. This research contributes to understanding substance abuse, pain management, and maternal health. Fukuda has published nine papers with 89 citations and an h-index of 4. Key collaborators include Lisa K. Brents, William E. Fantegrossi, Kyle Urquhart, and Michael D. Berquist, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
