Funded Activity Summary

Diabetes and obesity are growing at alarming rates due to poor lifestyle and other factors. Adiponectin is a complex molecule secreted by fat tissue that may help to burn fat in other tissues such as muscle and liver. We investigate what are the main determinants of adiponectin action and how these might counteract defective insulin action caused by excessive fat intake. This promises to provide new therapeutic targets to lessen the metabolic derangement associated with diabetes and obesity
