Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Henry A. Paz's research investigates the influence of diet and environmental factors on the gut microbiome and host physiology, with a focus on metabolic health and disease. His work has explored how dietary components, such as blueberries, can ameliorate vascular complications in diabetic mice, potentially by modulating the gut microbiome and reducing harmful metabolites like trimethylamine N-oxide. Paz also studies the effects of heat stress on the intestinal barrier and inflammatory signals in dairy calves, as well as hormonal influences on the bovine vaginal microbiota during maternal nutrient restriction. He employs strategies such as antibiotic-induced gut microbiota depletion to study diet-derived microbial metabolites. Paz has published 54 papers, accumulating 1,032 citations, and holds an h-index of 14. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Umesh D. Wankhade, with whom he has co-authored 22 publications.
