Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Diana I Martin Alfonso"
- Diana I Martin Alfonso's recent research focuses on the roles of neuropeptides and environmental factors in influencing physiological and behavioral responses, particularly examining glutamatergic signaling in MCH neurons and dioxin exposure in female mice.
- In her 2023 study, she found that the loss of glutamatergic signaling from MCH neurons led to decreased anxiety-like behaviors in novel environments, suggesting that this neural pathway may play a significant role in emotional regulation.
- Her earlier 2020 work revealed that female mice exposed to low doses of dioxin during critical developmental periods showed a heightened risk for diet-induced obesity and diabetes, indicating potential long-term consequences of environmental pollutants on metabolic health.
