Funded Activity Summary

Obesity is a worldwide concern to human health. Research into how fat is regulated in the body may provide new therapeutic options. It is not well understood how signals from the brain control fat storage. We have recently identified a gene that is important for the communication between the brain and the intestine in the control of fat levels. As such, our work will enable us to better understand this phenomenon.
