講師簡介：

Victoria Vieira-Potter, PhD

The main focus of Victoria Vieira-Potter’s laboratory is how behavioral (e.g., diet, exercise, environmental toxin exposure) and biological (e.g., aging, hormonal changes) factors influence metabolic function, specifically via modulation of the immuno-physiology of adipose (i.e., fat) tissue.

Specific areas of interest include:

• The relationship between white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation and systemic metabolic function (e.g., insulin resistance and fatty liver)
• How diet and exercise affect body composition and WAT inflammation
• How estrogen loss and estrogen receptor signaling affect WAT metabolic function
• Sex differences in WAT metabolic function
