Dr. Zhanxiang Zhou (Translational Biomedical Research) received additional funding from the US DHHS NIH National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism for the project “Adipose Tissue Lipolysis and Alcoholic Fatty Liver.” Alcoholic fatty liver is one of the earliest pathological changes in the progression of alcoholic liver disease. The research team’s overall hypothesis is that reverse fatty acid transport due to excess lipolysis of the adipose tissue plays a crucial role in pathogenesis of alcoholic fatty liver. This project will test this hypothesis.
