Funded Activity Summary

Obesity is an every increasing problem worldwide, with major risks for the development of associated cardivasular and type II diabetes related disorders. This research project will determine the underlying mechanisms of how specific receptors in the brain control energy metabolism, appetite and body fat accumulation. It will also determine how peripheral factors can influence this process. The outcome of this research should identify new targets and approaches to prevent and treat obesity and the associated, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disorders.
