Outline of Final Research Achievements

Energy metabolic control of an individual is performed with high accuracy referring to the nucleotide sequence of the genome. How do we respond to fasting and feeding? From this point of view, we have tried to comprehensively understand glucose and lipid metabolism. In this study, the in vivo Ad-luc analytical method and the TFEL scan method, which we have independently developed over the past few years, temporally and spatially resolve various signals controlling energy metabolism. As a result of searching for an unknown nuclear information processing mechanism responsible for energy metabolism, a part of the processing mechanism became clear, which can lead to the development of therapeutic strategies for lifestyle / obesity-related diseases in the future.
