Funded Activity Summary

A major obstacle to managing obesity has been the inability to allow the body to store fat appropriately in fat tissue, leading to their unhealthy storage in other organs. We will test the prediction that drugs already available in the clinic which promote proper fat storage (but come with side-effects), work through a previously unacknowledged pathway. We will activate this pathway to test if it can reduce obesity associated complications without presenting with significant side effects.
