My research work focus on Diabetes and Obesity Therapeutics. He explored the use of oleanolic acid as phytochemical to prevent the occurrence of Metabolic Syndrome. He studied on the impact of lipid metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis in fructose-induced neonatal metabolic derangement in rat models. His study showed that oleanolic acid has pharmacological properties that are crucial in modulating fatty acids, genes and proteins, which are important for lipid oxidation and mitochondrial bio
