Fat sensing in the gut: role in appetite regulation in health and obesity

利特尔博士在肠道营养感知方面的研究享誉国际。在接下来的4年里，她的目标是成为一名独立的研究人员，领导一个团队和项目，专注于表征脂肪在肠道中感知的分子和生理机制，以及这些机制在健康和肥胖的能量摄入调节中的作用。这些见解可能会导致更有效的肥胖管理策略。

Dr Little has an international reputation for her research relating to the sensing of nutrients in the gut. During the next 4 years her goal is to establish herself as an independent researcher leading a team and program focussed on characterising the molecular and physiological mechanisms by which fat is sensed in the gut, and the role of these mechanisms in energy intake regulation in health and obesity. These insights are likely to result in more effective management strategies for obesity.
