PI: Albert Salehi The antiology of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is complex and involves the interaction between both genetic and environmental factors (also including nutritional and metabolic signals). It has been known for at long time that dysfunction fo pancreatic islets cell (α-, β- and δ-cell) is a critical factor in the development and progression of these diseases.One of the larg

Glucolipotoxicity:We will identify defects in the regulation of adipose tissue lipid metabolism associated with obesity and diabetes using models with altered expression of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), the rate-limiting step in lipolysis 39 and phosphodiesterase3B (PDE3B) 40-42, a key enzyme controlling insulin action HSL activity. Altered profiles of lipid derived second messengers and alterat

New drug targetsWe have in the different sections tested a number of pathways as putative new drug targets including exploring the role of TXNIP for the development of glucotoxicity in β-cells, muscle and kidney and the role of glucokinase in the β-cells. We have also explored the role of Ncf1 in thymus mediated control of tolerance. Potentially, all studied pathways can include regulatory steps w

African food security has become an increasing concern during the last decade. Reports are regularly appearing about famine and hunger in countries south of the Sahara. Pessimism is widespread about the possibilities for the continent to feed its growing population. Until recently, optimism about Asian development on the other hand seemed boundless, and Asia is considered the emerging centre of th
