Mechanisms governing metabolic homeostasis; function of adipose-and skeletal muscle-derived hormones; mechanisms of insulin resistance and type 2 Diabetes Our lab seeks to understand mechanisms employ by cells and tissues to maintain metabolic homeostasis. We are broadly interested in addressing how adipose- and skeletal muscle-derived hormones (adipokines and myokines), discovered in our lab, regulate tissue crosstalk and signaling pathways to control energy metabolism. Transgenic and knockout mouse models, as well as cell culture systems, are used to address the roles of CTRP family of hormones in physiological and disease states. We also aim to identify the receptors that mediate the biological functions of CTRPs.
