Developed in collaboration with Dr. Robert H. Lustig, University of California and Dr. Alejandro Gugliucci, Touro University-California, this poster provides a tour of the signaling events involved in glucose and lipid homeostasis, highlighting along the way molecular dysfunctions at the core of the metabolic syndrome.
