Victoria Vieira-Potter
The Vieira-Potter laboratory studies sex differences in adipose tissue metabolism, and how sex hormones (namely, estrogen) and exercise affect fat cell metabolism. This is done via use of a variety of animal models and state-of-the-art molecular tools. Our goal is to determine adipose (i.e., fat) tissue-specific mechanisms by which hormone shifts and obesity affect cardiometabolic disease risk, and to discover novel interventions to mitigate this risk by specifically targeting adipose tissue. Our work has demonstrated that female hormone loss adversely affects adipose tissue both directly, via loss of the protective effects of estrogen receptor signaling, and indirectly, via brain-specific mechanisms…
