Control of anabolic and catabolic pathways by AMPK [ 2015 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Bruce Kemp (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Sandra Galic ,  Prof Gregory Steinberg

Brief description This project focuses on the role of the metabolic stress-sensing enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the control of glucose and fat metabolism. AMPK has been linked to the regulation of exercise capacity, longevity and the control of insulin sensitivity. This is important for our understanding of the metabolic dimensions of our Nations most important health problems including, type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, neurodegeneration as well as other age onset diseases.
