Funded Activity Summary

The sensing of blood-borne signals by the brain is an important event in regulating appetite and energy expenditure. This sensing is blunted in obesity and contributes to over-eating. The aim of this research is to determine whether the sensing of these blood-borne signals can be restored in obesity by creating new cells in the key appetite controlling centres of the brain. The outcomes of this research will lead to a better understanding of how feeding behaviour can be modified to treat obesity.
