Funded Activity Summary

This study combines sophisticated molecular techniques with state-of-the-art biochemical and physiological analyses to determine how gut hormones regulate satiety. By utilising unique conditional and germline KO mice , this research will make highly original and internationally competitive contributions to the understanding of the regulation of satiety and energy expenditure. Knowledge as to the causes of lack of satiety will be of great benefit in the search for novel treatments for obesity.
