w88 sports betting app interests

I have a long standing interest in the biochemistry and cell w88 sports betting app of adipose tissue and how this tissue is affected in Diabetes and Metabolic Disease. My current research is focused on sympathetic innervation in adipose tissue. Mobilization of fat depots is triggered via direct stimulation of adipocytes by sympathetic nerves. The extent of innervation, and thus the ability to mobilize stored fat, is extensively and rapidly remodeled in response to environmental (e.g. cold-exposure) and pathophysiological stimuli. We are studying the signals that control this remodeling, with the hope to reverse the defects in metabolic disease.
