Conference - Snowmass, CO, United States
This FASEB Science Research Conference will focus on the regulation and molecular mechanisms of intestinal lipid digestion and absorption with new translational emphasis on the importance of these processes to understanding the mechanisms of health maintenance and development of chronic diseases, such as obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes, dyslipidemia, intestinal failure and gastrointestinal inflammation.Lecture sessions will cover a broad range of topics, including lipid absorption and incretin/insulin secretion, neonatal lipid absorption, impact of the micro biome on intestinal lipid absorption, intestinal lipid transporters, role of cytoplasmic lipid droplets in lipid absorption, intestinal bile acid metabolism and chylomicron assembly and secretion. The speakers in these sessions will describe research done in an array of biological systems, from humans to rodents to neonatal swine to zebra fish to C. elegans to several in vitro model systems, and using multiple experimental approaches and new technologies.
