PROJECT SUMMARY The prevalence of obesity and its complications, including diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are a significant health care crisis. These complication impact liver metabolism by dysregulating gluconeogenesis, lipid synthesis, mitochondrial function, and fat oxidation. NAFLD is improved by lifestyle interventions. Ironically, physical activity, exercise, and aerobic capacity affect many of these pathways similarly, but profoundly lower liver fat independent of weight loss. Hence, aerobic exercise is commonly prescribed therapy for NAFLD. One route by which obesity or exercise influence regulation of liver metabolism may be by signals through the sympathetic nervous system. The overarching goal of this 5-year research career development plan is to facilitate my transition from a technically focused researcher to a fully independent academic scientist investigating the in vivo physiology of disease. This will be accomplished by training in disciplines of physiology, neurophysiology, and exercise that will be used to identify mechanisms by which hepatic sympathetic nervous signaling controls liver metabolic flux during obesity and interventions. Elevated basal sympathetic signaling is thought to occur through the α1b adrenergic receptor (AR), which is highly expressed in mouse liver (including hepatocytes) and has been suggested to stimulate hepatic glucose production, breakdown of glycogen, gluconeogenesis, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and ketogenesis. This project focuses on understanding how hepatic α1b-AR contributes to dysregulated hepatic gluconeogenesis and fat oxidation during obesity and NAFLD (Aim 1), and the degree to which liver α1b-AR mediates beneficial effects of acute (Aim 2) or chronic exercise (Aim 3) as treatments of NAFLD. Using targeted metabolomics and stable isotope infusions, I will quantitatively evaluate how AR signaling regulates liver metabolism. The findings will advance our knowledge of how metabolism is altered by complications of obesity and provide a novel training platform for the recipient.

项目摘要 肥胖及其并发症的患病率，包括糖尿病和非酒精性脂肪肝（NAFLD） 是一个重大的医疗危机。这些并发症通过失调影响肝脏代谢 脂质合成、线粒体功能和脂肪氧化。NAFLD通过生活方式改善 干预措施。具有讽刺意味的是，身体活动，锻炼和有氧能力对这些途径的影响是相似的， 但显著降低肝脏脂肪，与体重减轻无关。因此，有氧运动通常是处方 治疗NAFLD。肥胖或运动影响肝脏代谢调节的一种途径可能是 通过交感神经系统发出信号。这5年研究生涯的首要目标 我的发展计划是促进我从一个专注于技术的研究人员过渡到一个完全独立的研究人员。 研究体内疾病生理学的学术科学家。这将通过以下培训来实现： 生理学、神经生理学和运动学科，将用于确定 肝交感神经信号传导控制肥胖和干预期间的肝代谢通量。升高 基础交感神经信号被认为是通过α1b肾上腺素能受体（AR）发生的， 在小鼠肝脏（包括肝细胞）中表达，并被认为刺激肝葡萄糖 糖原的产生、分解、糖原生成、三羧酸（TCA）循环和酮生成。这 该项目的重点是了解肝脏α1b-AR如何导致肝脏新生血管发生失调， 肥胖和NAFLD期间的脂肪氧化（目的1），以及肝脏α1b-AR介导有益作用的程度 急性（目标2）或慢性运动（目标3）作为NAFLD的治疗。使用靶向代谢组学和稳定的 同位素输注，我将定量评估AR信号如何调节肝脏代谢。其成果将 推进我们对肥胖并发症如何改变新陈代谢的认识，并提供一种新的训练方法， 平台为收件人。
