Project Grant R01DK139147
- This $2,971,227 federal Project Grant, awarded on September 4, 2025 by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research to investigate the role of fatty acids in regulating cellular metabolism and protein synthesis in the context of fasting, inflammation, and metabolic diseases. The research aims to uncover novel signaling pathways through which fatty...
- This federal Project Grant award of $737,034.00 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The goal of this 5-year research project, with a start date of September 1, 2025, is to identify new regulatory inputs that control the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) in response to the metabolic state of cells and tissues, especially the kidney and liver. The...
- This $824,655 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research aimed at understanding the role of sex-biased transcription factors in conferring protection against metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in females. The research will use adult-onset, hepatocyte-specific knockdown technology to elucidate...
- This $2,638,760.00 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The research aims to investigate a novel mechanism involving the metabolite rhodoquinone (RQ) and its potential role in improving mitochondrial function and mitigating metabolic diseases caused by obesity. Specifically, the project will elucidate how the RQ/fumarate...
- The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) awarded a $2,999,512 Project Grant under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, doing business as Southwestern Medical School. This 4-year award, starting on September 1, 2025, will support research to investigate the regulation of mitochondrial health in mammalian livers, with a focus on understanding the...
- This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $1,428,186.00 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc. (Bidmc) in Massachusetts. The project aims to investigate the role of CYP4F enzymes in regulating N-acyl amino acid signaling in humans, which has implications for understanding the early...
- This $409,375 federal Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The award supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to understand the contribution of hepatic fatty acid oxidation to hepatic and systemic metabolic homeostasis. The research aims to describe novel requirements and signaling roles of hepatic fatty acid oxidation that...
- This federal Project Grant award of $122,454, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), supports research investigating the role of the GIMAP5 gene in maintaining liver homeostasis. The primary recipient, Yale University, is conducting studies to determine how loss of function in the GIMAP5 gene leads to capillarization and dedifferentiation of liver...
- This federal Project Grant award of $672,737 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant supports research to investigate the role of mitochondria in dysregulated insulin secretion in obesity, which can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes. Specifically, the research aims to characterize the molecular determinants of fatty acid-induced...
- This federal Project Grant award of $544,963, provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), aims to investigate the role of the protein frataxin (FXN) in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The research conducted under this award will examine whether FXN deficiency induces and whether restoration of FXN expression prevents...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,651,504.00 was provided by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847). The grant aims to identify the mechanisms by which impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation, due to liver-specific deletion of the CPT1A enzyme, leads to sexually dimorphic responses of microvesicular steatosis and reductions in circulating polyunsaturated fatty acids. The research utilizes in-vitro approaches to quantify lipid droplet dynamics and peroxisomal oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as gain- and loss-of-function experiments to modulate CPT1A expression in specific liver zones across male and female mice. The research activities will be conducted by the University of Kentucky Research Foundation over a 4-year period from September 2025 to September 2029.
