Overview
Background
Dr David Briskey is a research fellow at the UQ School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences. His major areas of research have included gastrointestinal health, liver and kidney disease and clinical trials. Within these research topics David has focused on the effects of supplementations, gastrointestinal health and exercise trials on: body composition, absorption/bioavailability (including pharmacokinetics), exercise recovery, inflammation, intestinal permeability, oxidative stress and biochemistry analysis. Clinical trials conducted have included trials on: body composition, appetite control, GIT health, inflammation, CKD, exercise and macula health. To date David has completed pharmacokinetic trials on: vitamin B12, C, D & E, CoQ10, alpha lipoic acid, glutathione, curcumin, fish oil, lutein, saffron and palmitoylethanolamine
