Doctor of science in Nutritional Science, March 2018
University of Shizuoka, Graduate Division of Nutritional and Environmental Sciences, Shizuoka, Japan
Dissertation title: Mechanisms of lipogenic gene expression in postprandial liver Measured lipogenesis using radio isotopes
 Measured gene expression in lipogenesis and glycolysis in liver
Advisors: Prof. S. Miura and Dr. A. Morita
Other projects in Ph. D. program:Studies on the regulation of gluconeogenesis in postprandial liver Determined quantity of acetyl-CoA by LC/MS Measured pyruvate carboxylase activity
Searched for low-invasive pathogenesis markers for steatosis
 Analyzed fatty acid composition of various lipids in liver
Master of Science in Nutritional Science, March 2015
University of Shizuoka, Graduate Division of Nutritional and Environmental Sciences, Shizuoka, Japan
Thesis title: The role of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) 1 in glucose and lipid metabolism
 Evaluated the role of GPD1 in the ethanol induced steatosis
 Evaluated the role of GPD1 in exercise capacity
 Evaluated the relationship between glycerol synthesis via GPD1 and obesity
 Evaluated the role of GPD1 in maintaining blood glucose level in fasting state
Advisors: Prof. S. Miura and Dr. A. Morita
