Dr. Norman Pollock is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Georgia Regents University's Medical College of Georgia. He has training in the fields of clinical nutrition, bone biology, endocrinology, and biostatistics. He has clinical trial experience conducting dietary and exercise interventions in children and adults at risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. He is currently funded by NIH to study the influence of the hormone osteocalcin, a bone-derived protein, on energy metabolism in overweight children at risk for diabetes. Additional research projects by Dr. Pollock are the following: (1) vitamin K supplement trial to effect a change in the carboxylation of osteocalcin in order to determine the importance of osteocalcin and its isoforms on glucose metabolism in children at risk for diabetes; (2) a prospective cohort study of children 8 -17 years to determine the influence of cardiometabolic risk factors on bone mineral accretion and bone structural development; (3) drug trial to provide evidence that the stress-related hormone angiotensin II (Ang II) is a contributing factor linking mental stress to the development of hypertension and osteoporosis, particularly in salt-sensitive individuals.

How fat and bone metabolism affect energy regulation, emphasizing on factors such as diet, physical inactivity, metabolic diseases, hormonal imbalances, and genetic influences that are synonymous to both obesity and poor skeletal health.

The main aim of the team is to develop translational multidisciplinary medical research into obesity and type 2 diabetes. The current research programmes are exploring the underlying mechanisms that lead to the pathogenesis of obesity mediated type 2 diabetes. As such we have researchers within the team focussed on human metabolism examining several aspects such as: the importance of adipokines on human adipocyte signalling, mediators and mechanisms of inflammation, understanding the importance of diet and cell signalling in response to metabolic endotoxinaemia, the role of ectopic fat in the liver and heart, as well as using mathematical modelling of human adipocyte systems.

Novel mechanistic insights into the actions of the G-protein coupled estrogen receptor as a moderator of cardiovascular health.A mechanistic model for the role of GPER as a moderator of cardiovascular functions will be presented. The data and summative model encourage therapeutic exploitation of GPER activation and expression in the management of cardiovascular morbidity.
