Brief description Obesity and Type 2 diabetes (T2D) increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of death in Australia. New drugs are required to reduce the health risks and financial burden of these diseases. Targeting hormone receptors to reduce fat storage in liver and skeletal muscle in obesity may improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar levels and therefore reduce CVD risk. This research will study how these receptors function in order to develop new drugs to reduce CVD risk.
