Gwenaël Labouèbe of University of Lausanne, Faculty of Biology and Medicine. Center for Integrative Genomics · Group Thorens Position (s): Research Officer.
Research Interest
Glucose homeostasis is controlled by an integrated network of glucose sensing cells, located at several anatomical sites, and which control glucose utilization, endogenous glucose production, energy expenditure, and feeding behavior. The coordination by glucose of these functions depends on secretion of the hormones insulin and glucagon and on the control by the autonomic nervous system of the endocrine pancreas and of the major organs involved in glucose homeostasis: liver, fat and muscle.
