Awesome
Workload was kind of heavy in Dr. Giles' class, but she was totally awesome! She also allows us to pick our own topic to research. She gives very few lectures. Her class mostly involves writing a research paper and listening to presentations. She's a fair grader as well. She's also available outside of class. I honestly think she was great.

My lab uses an integrative, translational approach to understand the mechanisms by which obesity promotes postmenopausal breast cancers. We’re interested in understanding how the obese microenvironment, when combined with the metabolic and hormonal changes associated with menopause, promote tumor development, survival, and growth. In parallel, we also study the role of adipose tissue inflammation in the development of metabolic disease after menopause. We hope that the knowledge gained from studying the ‘normal’ adipose and breast environments during menopause will also help us understand the changes that occur to create a tumor-promoting environment in the breast of obese women during this same window of time.

Weight restoration on a high carbohydrate refeeding diet promotes rapid weight regain and hepatic lipid accumulation in female anorexic rats
Nutrition & metabolism
Refeeding a low fat diet to restore body weight in female anorexic rats caused depressed total energy expenditure (TEE) and resting energy expenditure (REE) which facilitated rapid regain. However, this weight gain was metabolically unhealthy as it resulted in elevated lipid accumulation in the liver. It is necessary to investigate the use of other diets, such as lower carbohydrate, moderate fat diets, in pre-clinical models to develop the optimal clinical refeeding diets for anorexia nervosa.
