Funded Activity Summary

People with diabetes most commonly die from stroke or heart attack and we need to determine what makes them more prone to these problems. The recently discovered UII system is increased in people with diabetes and has been found in diseased parts of blood vessels. Thus, the aim of this project is to characterise the UII system in the setting of diabetes using 2 unique genetically altered mice and a blocker a to study the effects of high cholesterol, diabetes and a deletion of UII.
