Biography
Dr. Aukema is examining the effects of dietary components on kidney health and on signaling molecules in normal and diseased kidneys due to inherited disease, diabetes, and obesity. This research also provides evidence for the physiologic and metabolic basis of dietary recommendations for dietary protein and for omega-3 fatty acids.
Research Interest
Physiologic and metabolic basis of dietary recommendations for dietary protein and for omega-3 fatty acids, Kidney Health and Disease: Effects of diet, nutraceuticals and functional foods Renal Eicosanoids: Dietary effects on eicosanoids in normal kidneys and diseased kidneys resulting from genetic mutations, diabetes and obesity Fetal Programming: Effects of perinatal nutrition on kidneys in models of congenital kidney disease
