Role of Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF15) and its receptor GDNF Family Receptor Alpha Like (GFRAL) under muscle metabolic stress conditions

The aim of this project is to understand the role and mechanisms of action of the stress-induced cytokine GDF15 and its brainstem-specific receptor GFRAL under metabolic stress conditions making use of the HSA-Ucp1-Tg mouse line, a model of uncoupling-induced muscle mitochondrial stress.

Diurnal regulation of metabolic hormones under muscle mitochondrial stress

The aim of this project is to uncover the diurnal pattern of metabolic hormones and endocrine mediators controlling food intake cycles and energy balance under mitochondrial stress conditions.
