OverviewAI-generated summary
Sun-Ok Lee's research investigates the composition and health effects of various food components, with a particular focus on fermentation and the gut microbiome. Lee has explored the in vitro fecal fermentation patterns of arabinoxylan from rice bran in relation to the gut microbiota of normal-weight and overweight/obese subjects. Further work has examined the microbiota profiles and dynamics in fermented plant-based products and their potential to modulate the gut microbiota.
Additional research areas include the chemical composition of volatile extracts from berries and their antiproliferative effects on non-small-cell lung cancer cells. Lee has also studied the anti-inflammatory properties of sweetpotato leaves, investigating their mechanism via suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway. The bioavailability of citrulline in watermelon has also been examined using a human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell model. Lee leads an active research group and has a scholarly record of 137 publications and 2,008 citations, with an h-index of 24.
