Self-introduction
My research interests are in elucidation of food factors with potent preventive effects on lifestyle-related diseases and their mechanisms. Currently, I am interested in exploring roles of imidazole dipeptides in muscle regeneration and brain functions as well as focusing on regulation of GABA metabolism to prevent obesity.
