Brief description Obesity increases the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Muscle is a key tissue for balancing whether energy is used or stored as fat and as we age, muscle mass normally decreases making maintaining a healthy metabolism even more difficult. We have discovered that removing the Grb10 gene from mice produces bigger muscles. This project will investigate the mechanisms of this effect so that strategies can be developed to regulate muscle mass and improve metabolic health
