Content
To date, I have identified liver-derived secretory proteins associated with the pathology of obesity and type 2 diabetes, and have proposed that function-unknown liver-derived secretory proteins should be termed “hepatokines.” In this study, I aim to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods for over-nutrition-related diseases targeting hepatokines by elucidating the systemic pleiotropic actions of hepatokines and by identifing the hepatokine receptors.
