Research Interest

The Endocrinology laboratory focuses on the link of cell biological properties and functions. Functions of cells may be the secretion of hormones in endocrine cells, contraction and dilation of cardiomyocytes, or proliferation and apoptosis of cancer cells. We concentrate on hormones, which are important in controlling growth, development, metabolic balance, body mass composition, ageing process, and the plasma glucose levels, such as growth hormone, leptin, orexin, insulin, glucagon, and adipocyte-derived hormones and factors. Several endogenous and synthetic regulatory peptides have been tested for their regulatory roles in pituitary and pancreatic islet
