Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Tiffany K. Miles' research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying metabolic regulation, with a particular focus on the role of leptin signaling in the anterior pituitary gland. Her work has explored the impact of high-fat diets on cell metabolism and gene expression within the pituitary, examining how these dietary changes affect specific cell types, such as somatotrophs. Miles has also studied the influence of maternal nutrition on offspring metabolism and subsequent diet-induced weight gain, identifying potential protective mechanisms in male offspring exposed to mild maternal undernutrition. Her research utilizes transcriptomic analysis to understand gene expression changes in response to various physiological conditions, including the estrous cycle and induced menopause. Miles has published 31 papers, accumulating 453 citations, and holds an h-index of 7. She has a history of collaboration with Gwen V. Childs, Angela K. Odle, Angus M. MacNicol, and Alex Lagasse, all at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
