Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
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.
