Researchers at the University of Michigan are investigating the potential of developing a new treatment for metabolic disorders using a previously unknown hormone that serves as a messenger from fat cells to the liver. Jiandie Lin of the Life Sciences Institute described how in mice the hormone, NRG4, is secreted by so-called brown fat cells and communicates with the liver to regulate the conversion of sugar into fat. Mice without NRG4 became obese and developed ...Wednesday 19 November 2014
Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Liver Disease Treatable With Previously Unknown Hormone
Researchers at the University of Michigan are investigating the potential of developing a new treatment for metabolic disorders using a previously unknown hormone that serves as a messenger from fat cells to the liver. Jiandie Lin of the Life Sciences Institute described how in mice the hormone, NRG4, is secreted by so-called brown fat cells and communicates with the liver to regulate the conversion of sugar into fat.
