The Relationship between Lipid Metabolism, Dyslipidemia and Disease Outcomes in Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease

肥胖、2型糖尿病和心血管疾病是澳大利亚的主要健康问题，每年导致数万人死亡。我们新陈代谢的变化导致血液中循环的脂质（脂肪）不平衡（血脂异常），从而导致疾病过程。该项目将研究循环脂质的这些变化，以开发新的测试方法来识别疾病风险最大的人群，以便提供早期治疗。

Obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease are major health problems in Australia and result in many tens of thousands of deaths each year. Changes in our metabolism lead to an imbalance in lipids (fats) circulating in our blood (dyslipidemia) which contributes to the disease process. This project will characterise these changes in circulating lipids to develop new tests to identify those at greatest risk of disease so that early treatment can be provided.
