Research Interest

The role of nutrients (ascorbic acid, iron) and hormones (prolactin) in regulating osteoblast function and bone remodeling, using animal models and cell culture.

Current Research

- Age-related prolactin effects on the rat skeleton.
- Mechanisms of prolactin effects on osteoblast cells.
- Iron deficiency anemia effects on bone development in the rat.
