NIH research grant awarded to University of Washington to study the role of hepatic glycogen in glucagon-stimulated energy expenditure using mouse models, aiming to understand metabolic mechanisms relevant to obesity and diabetes.
Description
This project aims to explore the role of hepatic glycogen in glucagon-stimulated energy expenditure by generating mouse models with altered glycogen storage and mobility, and assessing their metabolic responses. The research focuses on understanding metabolic regulation and developing better treatments for obesity and diabetes.
