A research grant awarded to study the impact of high fat diet on brainstem vagal regulation and its implications for cardiovascular health.
Description
This research grant focuses on studying the effects of high fat diet on brainstem vagal motor neurons that regulate cardiovascular function. The project aims to understand how high fat diet elevates inhibition of these neurons and the role of PKCĪ“ in this process, potentially leading to new biomarkers and therapeutics for cardiovascular diseases.
