Funded Activity Summary

There are currently in excess of 170 million patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes worldwide. Recent studies have identified novel actions of HDL cholesterol in relation to glucose and fat metabolism which provide a rationale for therapeutic approaches to raise levels of circulating HDL to manage the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. This research will investigate HDL signaling pathways and contribute significantly to our understanding of the metabolic actions of HDL in Humans.
