Dr.Prough's research interests relate to the molecular regulation of hepatic nuclear receptors and their role in liver toxicity and steatosis. I work closely with Matt Cave on his studies on PCBs and fatty liver disease and work with his researchers and trainees, evaluating how these receptors are involved in hepatotoxicity of chlorinated compounds. Currently, we are addressing the role of the arylhydrocarbon receptor and epidermal growth factor receptor in PCB mediated toxicity and fibrosis.
Research Keywords: hepatic nuclear receptors, liver toxicity, liver steatosis, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), fatty liver disease, hepatotoxicity, chlorinated compounds, aryl hydrocarbon receptor, epidermal growth factor receptor, PCB-mediated toxicity, PCB-mediated fibrosis
