Research project funded by NIDDK to study the role of FHL1 in adipose tissue development and energy homeostasis, aiming to understand mechanisms related to obesity and metabolic diseases.
Description
The project aims to investigate the role of FHL1 as a mediator of adipose development and energy homeostasis, with potential implications for obesity and metabolic diseases. The research focuses on how adipose tissues regulate energy metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and glucose homeostasis using cellular and animal models. It explores the role of FHL1, a protein implicated in human adipose tissue development, including its molecular mechanisms and in vivo functions in knockout models.
