Marguerite K. Shepard

OverviewAI-generated summary

Marguerite K. Shepard's research focuses on understanding the complex biological mechanisms underlying human health and disease, with a particular emphasis on metabolic disorders and their sex-dependent variations. Her recent work has investigated global transcriptional profiling of adipose tissue to uncover unique mechanisms in acute obesity and their implications for interorgan crosstalk, specifically between adipose tissue and the heart. This research explores how obesity impacts various biological systems and highlights differences in how these impacts manifest between biological sexes. Shepard has also been involved in research related to fetal hemoglobin and its potential role in managing conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, and glucose and insulin resistance. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 15, with 31 total publications and 1,726 total citations. Key collaborators include Neha S. Dole, Rushita A. Bagchi, Shahnaz Ibrahim, and Vivek Khanal, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
