Sleep Deprivation, Obesity
Effects of Sleep Restriction on BAT Activation in Humans
The goal of this proposed research is to test the hypothesis that long-term mild sleep restriction (SR), as occurs frequently in adults and adolescents, leads to a positive energy balance and weight gain. Aim 1.

Metabolically Healthy Obesity
Brown Fat Tissue Related Hormone Levels in Metabolically Healthy and Unhealthy Obese Individuals
There are two types of adipose tissue in humans, white and brown adipose tissue. While the main task of white adipose tissue is energy storage, the main task of brown adipose tissue is energy expenditure.

Prostate Cancer
Changes in Brown Adipose Tissue Activity In Men Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is considered standard of care for prostate cancer. However, changes in the patients metabolism are usually seen as a result of hormone therapy.
