Brief description This project is investigating an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase that plays a pivotal role in controlling how our bodies regulate energy metabolism in response to exercise and diet. Improved understanding of how this enzyme is regulated may provide new therapeutic methods for mimicking the beneficial effects of diet and exercise to treat multiple metabolic diseases including obesity, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
