Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Henry A. Palfrey conducts research focused on the role of eicosanoids in kidney and cardiovascular function, particularly in the context of radiation-induced kidney injury and potential therapeutic interventions. His work also involves developing novel medical devices and preparing them for market launch. Palfrey has investigated the effects of DPP-4 inhibitors on liver changes in rats, finding that sitagliptin can enhance adverse cardiac events in hypercholesterolemia models. He has also studied dual inhibitors of TGFβR1/MAP4K4, demonstrating their potential to reduce renal fibrosis and injury in mouse models. His research has been supported by collaborations with researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including John D. Imig and Samaneh Goorani.
