Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yan Huang's research investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic disorders and toxicological responses in various species, with a focus on animal models and livestock. Her work has explored the signaling pathways involved in lipid metabolism in bovine hepatocytes, including the role of FGF21 in reducing lipid accumulation through AMPK signaling. She has also studied the effects of NEFA on lipid metabolism via the PERK-eIF2α signaling pathway.

In the area of toxicology, Huang has examined the protective effects of astaxanthin and nanoparticle-selenium against cadmium toxicity in rice and cardiotoxicity in mice, respectively. These studies often involve investigating the activation of xenobiotic detoxification pathways, such as those mediated by AHR/CAR/PXR/Nrf2. Her research also extends to the physiological status of livestock, including oxidative stress in dairy goats during the periparturient period and metabolomics profiles in dairy cows with ketosis.

Huang's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 27 with over 2,444 citations across 97 publications. She has received federal funding from the NSF for an I-Corps project focused on artificial intelligence-supported flood resilience assessment. Key collaborators include Yan Huang, Palika Dias Morse, Sarah Shelby, and Ken Coffey, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
