Funded Activity Summary

These studies provide insights into the mechanisms and role of oestrogen in regulating whole body and liver fat metabolism. Oestrogen-related medications that modify the action or tissue availability of oestrogen are widely used therapeutics and can predispose to obesity and fat accumulation in the liver. Whether the effect is direct or through interplay with other metabolic hormones is unknown. This proposal examines their metabolic consequences and impact on obesity and liver health.
