Funded Activity Summary

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are two major health conditions associated with abnormal energy metabolism. In this proposal I will investigate the role of important metabolic proteins in regulating energy expenditure and insulin action in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, two crucial tissues for whole-body energy metabolism. These studies will provide critical insight into the factors leading to obesity and type 2 diabetes and will assist in identifying possible therapeutic targets.
