Funded Activity Summary

Recent evidence shows ghrelin is a key anti-starvation hormone that increases glucose production in order to maintain appropriate blood glucose concentrations. How ghrelin acts in the brain to control blood glucose concentrations remains unknown and will be the focus of this project. This project is relevant to disorders such as anorexia nervosa and will help us understand blood glucose regulation during conditions of food scarcity.
