Dr. Roger McLeod, Unravelling the mysteries of fat metabolism
Posted by Melanie Jollymore on 01/10/2013 in News
Dr. Roger McLeod is exploring how some dietary fats encourage our bodies to store less fat, while others prompt us to hang on to fat – in the blood vessels and in deposits of adipose tissue. They do this in part, he says, through their effect on a key signalling protein called adiponectin, which is produced in the body’s healthy fat cells to regulate the storage of fats.
