Research Description
Dr. Jen's research is in the area of induced obesity and diabetes, as well as maternal and infant nutrition. She has used a high-fat diet induced obesity animal model to investigate the effects of weight-cycling on body composition and diabetes risks. Dr. Jen is also conducting research examining how peri-natal over-nutrition affects postnatal growth, development and body weight regulation in rats. More recently she has been involved in studies examining the efficacy of treatment regimens in obese population.
