Objectives
The objectives of the Molecular Metabolism group are to clarify the molecular mechanisms by which the central nervous system controls the peripheral metabolism of adipose tissue and the liver. Specifically, we will try to find out which hypothalamic nuclei are capable of regulating each tissue, and how different important hormones for energy homeostasis act on those nuclei.
