Phosphoproteomics: Metabolic and Exercise Signalling Markers for Sedentary and Trained Individuals [ 2006 - 2010 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Bruce Kemp (Principal investigator)

Brief description It is widely recognized that diet and exercise have a major influence on the health and fitness. Sedentary lifestyles predispose people to obesity and the early development of age onset diseases. In the past decade we have gained considerable insight into the regulatory links between exercise and metabolism particularly involving the AMPK signalling pathway. This project is concerned with the phosphoproteome of trained and untrained skeletal muscle, fat and erythrocytes as a marker of fitness.
