OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Metabolic health is critically dependent on the dynamic control of processes such as energy balance and insulin sensitivity. This requires continuous communication across body systems, including the central nervous system. Hormones play a critical role as the circulating transmitters of the information required to co-ordinate these widely anatomically dispersed processes. This talk will focus on insights into the biology of three hormones, insulin, leptin (and its downstream melanocortin system) and GDF15 with a particular emphasis on what has been learned from the study of human disorders.
