Role of brown fat-derived specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators in inflammation and metabolism
Description: Project Narrative Obesity and diabetes are the two most prominent health burdens in the United States. The proposed research aims to understand the mechanisms of action of brown fat-derived lipid mediators that exert anti- inflammatory and anti-obesity effects. The success of the proposed studies will improve our knowledge of resolution of inflammation and provide promising therapeutic approaches for the treatment and prevention of obesity and diabetes.
