Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Toru Kita mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cell biology, Receptor and Biochemistry. His studies in Internal medicine integrate themes in fields like Eicosapentaenoic acid and Cardiology. He focuses mostly in the field of Eicosapentaenoic acid, narrowing it down to matters related to Coronary artery disease and, in some cases, Statin.

The Endocrinology study combines topics in areas such as Apolipoprotein E and Heart failure. His work deals with themes such as Downregulation and upregulation, Macrophage and Lipoprotein, Scavenger receptor, which intersect with Receptor. His research investigates the connection with Cholesterol and areas like Gastroenterology which intersect with concerns in Risk factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of eicosapentaenoic acid on major coronary events in hypercholesterolaemic patients (JELIS): a randomised open-label, blinded endpoint analysis (1827 citations)
  • Nucleotide sequence of cloned cDNA for bovine corticotropin- β -lipotropin precursor (1568 citations)
  • An endothelial receptor for oxidized low-density lipoprotein (1150 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Cell biology and Receptor. While working on this project, he studies both Internal medicine and In patient. As part of his studies on Endocrinology, Toru Kita frequently links adjacent subjects like Apolipoprotein E.

His Cardiology research includes elements of Surgery and Hazard ratio. Cell biology is frequently linked to Biochemistry in his study. His work on Scavenger receptor expands to the thematically related Receptor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (51.63%)
  • Endocrinology (25.22%)
  • Cardiology (24.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2018)?

  • Internal medicine (51.63%)
  • Cardiology (24.53%)
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (5.34%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Internal medicine, Cardiology, Percutaneous coronary intervention, Endocrinology and Myocardial infarction. His Internal medicine study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Surgery. His work deals with themes such as Stroke, Incidence and Hazard ratio, which intersect with Cardiology.

His Percutaneous coronary intervention study incorporates themes from Artery, Coronary artery bypass surgery, Angioplasty, Revascularization and Cohort. His Endocrinology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cardiac function curve, Receptor and microRNA. His studies in microRNA integrate themes in fields like Translation, Molecular biology, Regulation of gene expression and Cell biology.

Between 2009 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Increased microRNA-1 and microRNA-133a levels in serum of patients with cardiovascular disease indicate myocardial damage. (390 citations)
  • MicroRNA-33 encoded by an intron of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (Srebp2) regulates HDL in vivo (297 citations)
  • Dysfunction of fibroblasts of extrarenal origin underlies renal fibrosis and renal anemia in mice (234 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Toru Kita focuses on Internal medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Percutaneous coronary intervention and Surgery. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Internal medicine and In patient in his work. Toru Kita has included themes like Incidence and Hazard ratio in his Cardiology study.

His Endocrinology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cardiac function curve and microRNA. The concepts of his Percutaneous coronary intervention study are interwoven with issues in Artery, Propensity score matching, Revascularization, Cohort and Risk factor. His work in the fields of Surgery, such as Mortality rate, High risk patients and Survival analysis, overlaps with other areas such as Prom.
