Rexford S. Ahima mainly investigates Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Leptin, Hypothalamus and Leptin receptor. His study in Hormone, Insulin resistance, Adiponectin, Resistin and Adipokine is carried out as part of his studies in Endocrinology. His Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Diabetes mellitus.
His work carried out in the field of Leptin brings together such families of science as Adipose tissue, Thermogenesis, Neuropeptide Y receptor and Energy homeostasis. His work on Arcuate nucleus as part of general Hypothalamus research is frequently linked to Cart, bridging the gap between disciplines. Rexford S. Ahima has included themes like White adipose tissue and Brainstem in his Leptin receptor study.
His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Leptin, Adipose tissue and Obesity. Rexford S. Ahima frequently studies issues relating to Diabetes mellitus and Internal medicine. His work on Endocrinology deals in particular with Adiponectin, Adipokine, Hypothalamus, Hormone and Resistin.
As part of one scientific family, Rexford S. Ahima deals mainly with the area of Leptin, narrowing it down to issues related to the Energy homeostasis, and often Homeostasis. His Adipose tissue research includes themes of Inflammation and Lipid metabolism. Rexford S. Ahima interconnects Body mass index, Disease and Bioinformatics in the investigation of issues within Obesity.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Diabetes mellitus, Obesity and Type 2 diabetes. His work on In vitro expands to the thematically related Internal medicine. His Endocrinology research focuses on subjects like Mitochondrion, which are linked to Beta.
His study in Diabetes mellitus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, Reactive oxygen species, Pharmacology and Atrial fibrillation. His work on Overweight and Roux-en-Y anastomosis as part of general Obesity research is frequently linked to Psychological resilience and Immigration, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Type 2 diabetes research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stroke and Prospective cohort study.
Rexford S. Ahima focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Insulin, Insulin receptor and Neuroscience. His Neuroimaging research extends to Internal medicine, which is thematically connected. Rexford S. Ahima studies Insulin resistance which is a part of Endocrinology.
His research in Insulin intersects with topics in Diabetes mellitus and Male mice. His studies deal with areas such as Protein kinase B, Working memory, Cognition, Hyperinsulinemia and Placebo as well as Insulin receptor. His Neuroscience study incorporates themes from Rhythm and Metabolism.
