Funded Activity Summary

Obese individuals have elevated fat levels in the blood and muscle, which contributes to the development of other diseases such as type 2 diabetes. A newly discovered protein named adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is essential for fat breakdown. This project aims to identify how ATGL operates and determine whether defective ATGL function leads to type 2 diabetes. These studies will assist in the development of strategies aimed at reducing fatty acids in blood and muscle.
