OverviewAI-generated summary
Jon Oden's research program focuses on pediatric obesity and its associated metabolic complications, particularly in relation to glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance. He has investigated the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in obese children and its impact on glucose metabolism. His work also explores screening methods for type 2 diabetes in this population. Oden has examined the relationship between growth hormone concentrations and insulin resistance in obese pediatric patients. Additionally, his research includes understanding metabolic syndrome as a sequela of radiation exposure in children with hypothalamic obesity, and identifying potential biomarkers for monitoring liver fat in pediatric obesity.
