Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Qiwei Shen"
Qiwei Shen's recent research primarily focuses on the intersection of circadian rhythms, obesity, and metabolic disorders, highlighting the role of BMAL1 in obesity prevention and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The studies also delve into the neurological mechanisms regulating thermal homeostasis and cold defense, demonstrating critical pathways in the hypothalamus that are integral to temperature regulation in mammals.
Additionally, Shen examines the impact of metabolic surgeries, like sleeve gastrectomy, on inflammatory responses and microvascular health in obese patients, suggesting significant links between gut microbiota changes and inflammation reduction.
