Funded Activity Summary

More than 1 in 5 Australians are estimated to have increased levels of fats (triglycerides; TGs) in the blood, commonly due to excess dietary intake or genetics. The excess TGs are deposited in skeletal muscle where they can cause insulin resistance, increasing the risk of developing diabetes, the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia. I will examine whether a recently identified protein, IDOL, can reduce accumulation of TGs in skeletal muscle and protect against insulin resistance.
