Grant Activity:
Central nervous system insulin transport and bariatric surgery
Purpose:
Insulin acts as feedback signal from the periphery to the brain to reduce food intake. With obesity, insulin resistance develops, this leads to reduced insulin transport into the brain. The current proposal will establish the transport mechanism that regulates insulin's movement into the brain and determine if brain insulin contributes to the effects of bariatric surgery. Increasing the signal from the periphery into the brain may lead to novel treatments with regard to the obesity epidemic.
