Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Diego Martínez's research focuses on the physiology and nutritional management of broiler chickens. His work investigates how diet, specifically protein and energy levels, influences broiler growth trends and metabolism, contributing to sustainable production practices. He has explored the complex relationship between performance, body composition, and processing yield in broilers, utilizing systematic reviews and meta-regression to synthesize existing data.

Martínez's research also delves into the biochemical and genetic underpinnings of broiler health and physiology. This includes studies on adaptive gene expression in muscle tissues, altered triglyceride kinetics, and the neurochemical composition of the intestinal tract. His work has also examined the interaction between host physiology and pathogens, such as the modulation of *Campylobacter jejuni* by serotonin. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 24, with 88 total publications and over 8,300 citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher.
