Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Elisabet Børsheim's research focuses on pediatric obesity, metabolic health, and physical activity interventions. She has investigated the role of redox imbalance and methylation disturbances in early childhood obesity, as well as the potential protective effects of sulforaphane in preventing inflammation and oxidative stress to enhance metabolic health. Her work also examines dietary protein requirements in children and the efficacy of digital intervention strategies for increasing physical activity among preschoolers.
Børsheim's research extends to the effects of exercise training on liver fat in adolescents with obesity and the protective impacts of soy protein concentrate against non-alcoholic fatty liver steatosis in animal models. She has also explored the association of circulating microRNAs with metabolic markers in adolescents with hepatosteatosis. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 33, 195 total publications, and 5,654 total citations. She has served as Co-PI on an Institutional Career Development grant from the NIH/National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, totaling $459,069.
Her collaborations at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include extensive work with Eva C. Diaz (15 shared publications), Aline Andres (10 shared publications), Clark Sims (6 shared publications), and Shannon Rose (5 shared publications). Børsheim maintains an active lab website and is designated as a high-impact researcher due to her citation record.
