Grant Activity:
Targeting NPY signaling in adipose tissue to promote thermogenesis and weight loss
Purpose:
Obesity is a major health challenge in Australia, and current treatments targeting food intake are unsatisfactory. Alternative strategies are needed. We have recently discovered a key signaling pathway that we believe holds the secret to inhibiting thermogenic activities in fat tissue, and blocking it leads to increased capacity to burn more fat. This proposal focuses on this pathway and its regulation using innovative and unique tools. This will provide a novel treatment option for obesity.
