The Yue Lab conducts in vivo studies delineating brain mechanisms which coordinate whole-body metabolism. Current projects focus on discerning pathways in the brain and neurocircuitry that drive regulation of glucose and lipid production, feeding behaviour, energy expenditure, body weight gain, and hepatic fuel production, in the context of non-diabetic, diabetic, and obese models to further understand the pathogenesis and etiology of diabetes and obesity.
