Funded Activity Summary

The incidence of type 2 diabetes, a disease hallmarked by poor blood glucose control, is rapidly increasing in Australia. This project will investigate the role of liver-glycogen, our blood glucose buffer, in the pathology type 2 diabetes, with particular focus on the glycogen’s structure. By determining the importance of glycogen structure on its properties and how this affects diabetic’s blood glucose levels will potentially result in new drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
