Funded Activity Summary

Molecular basis of skeletal muscle lipoapoptosis. High levels of fat in cells are associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes, medical conditions that have increased dramatically in prevalence in Australia. High fat levels in cells also causes cell death. This research will determine the mechanisms by which excessive fat storage leads to cell death and whether this leads to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. By understanding this relationship, effective pharmaceutical treatments will be developed that will ultimately reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes, and ease the associated financial burden on the community and healthcare system.
