Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yan Huang's research program investigates mechanisms of lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and toxicity in various biological systems, with a focus on animal agriculture and potential human health implications. Her recent work has explored the effects of specific compounds, such as astaxanthin and nanoparticle-selenium, on mitigating cadmium toxicity in rice and kidney cells, respectively. She has also examined the role of signaling pathways, including Fak, AHR/CAR/PXR, and Nrf2, in xenobiotic detoxification and cellular responses to toxicants.

Within animal science, Huang's studies have investigated growth performance and meat quality traits in pigs, as well as oxidative status and metabolic changes in dairy goats and cows. Her research delves into the regulation of lipid metabolism in bovine hepatocytes, focusing on pathways like AMPK signaling and the impact of factors such as FGF21 and NEFA. She has also been involved in a grant-funded project on scalable artificial intelligence-supported flood resilience assessment.

Huang holds an h-index of 27 with 98 publications and over 2,400 citations. Her collaborations include extensive work with researchers from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, such as Palika Dias Morse, Sarah Shelby, and Ken Coffey. She leads a research group and maintains an active laboratory website.
