Development of novel treatment strategies based on knowledge of cellular dysfunction in diabetes (BetaBat)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
A reduction in functional pancreatic beta cell mass is the key feature of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Beta cell failure is exacerbated in the context of obesity and insulin resistance. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a highly metabolic organ, mediating energy dissipation and glucose disposal, thus contributing to maintain energy balance. BAT dysfunction contributes to obesity and impaired glucose me ...
