Richard A, Hang H, Allerton T, Zhao P, Mendoza T, Ghosh S, et al.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) . 2022 Apr; 13:812802. PMID: 35464049
STATs (Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription) 5A and 5B are induced during adipocyte differentiation and are primarily activated by growth hormone (GH) and prolactin in fat cells. Previous studies...

Fuller S, Yu Y, Allerton T, Mendoza T, Ribnicky D, Floyd Z
Nutrients . 2020 Jul; 12(8). PMID: 32726932
Western diets high in fat and sucrose are associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Although the prevalence of MetS in women is comparable to that in men, metabolic adaptations in females...

Fuller S, Yu Y, Mendoza T, Ribnicky D, Cefalu W, Floyd Z
Biol Sex Differ . 2018 Sep; 9(1):41. PMID: 30208938
Background: Insulin resistance underlies metabolic syndrome and is associated with excess adiposity and visceral fat accumulation, which is more frequently observed in males than females. However, in young females, the...

Burke S, Batdorf H, Burk D, Martin T, Mendoza T, Stadler K, et al.
Mol Metab . 2018 Jun; 14:95-107. PMID: 29914854
Objective: Pancreatic tissue, and islets in particular, are enriched in expression of the interleukin-1 receptor type I (IL-1R). Because of this enrichment, islet β-cells are exquisitely sensitive to the IL-1R...

Kaczmarek M, Mendoza T, Kozak L
BMC Genomics . 2016 May; 17:333. PMID: 27146259
Background: Reproductive success is dependent on development of hypothalamic circuits involving many hormonal systems working in concert to regulate gonadal function and sexual behavior. The timing of pubertal initiation and...

Hegde V, Na H, Dubuisson O, Burke S, Collier J, Burk D, et al.
Biochimie . 2015 Dec; 121:140-50. PMID: 26700141
Aims: Exposure to human adenovirus Ad36 is causatively and correlatively linked with better glycemic control in animals and humans, respectively. Although the anti-hyperglycemic property of Ad36 may offer some therapeutic...

Wanders D, Burk D, Cortez C, Van N, Stone K, Baker M, et al.
FASEB J . 2015 Mar; 29(6):2603-15. PMID: 25742717
Dietary methionine restriction (MR) by 80% increases energy expenditure (EE), reduces adiposity, and improves insulin sensitivity. We propose that the MR-induced increase in EE limits fat deposition by increasing sympathetic...

Kozak L, Koza R, Anunciado-Koza R, Mendoza T, Newman S
PLoS One . 2012 Mar; 7(2):e30392. PMID: 22383960
Interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) is formed during fetal development and stable for the life span of the mouse. In addition, brown adipocytes also appear in white fat depots (wBAT)...

Kozak L, Newman S, Chao P, Mendoza T, Koza R
PLoS One . 2010 Jun; 5(6):e11015. PMID: 20574519
While the phenomenon linking the early nutritional environment to disease susceptibility exists in many mammalian species, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that nutritional programming is a variable quantitative...

Nikonova L, Koza R, Mendoza T, Chao P, Curley J, Kozak L
FASEB J . 2008 Jul; 22(11):3925-37. PMID: 18644838
A 50-fold variation in mRNA and protein levels of the mesoderm-specific transcript gene (Mest) in white fat of C57BL/6J (B6) mice fed an obesogenic diet is positively correlated with expansion...
