Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kumari Karn's research investigates the long-term effects of prenatal and lactational exposure to antiretroviral therapy on rat offspring. Her work examines how these exposures impact the gut microbial composition, metabolic function, intestinal mucosa, and inflammatory cytokine profiles in aged rat offspring, often revealing sex- and dose-dependent alterations. Karn also studies the potential links between high-fat diets and the expression of Alzheimer's disease-related genes in the enteric mucosa of a rat model. Her research has resulted in six publications and garnered 27 citations, with an h-index of 3. She has collaborated on multiple publications with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Kuppan Gokulan, Sangeeta Khare, Yaswanthi Yanamadala, and Chandra Mohan Reddy Muthumula.
