The brain is crucial for the regulation of whole-body metabolism and behavior. The pancreas-derived hormone insulin modulates brain function and affects energy metabolism as well as cognition.

O autorze

Prof. Dr. André Kleinridders is Professor for Experimental and Molecular Nutritional Medicine at the Institute of Nutritional Science at the University of Potsdam, Germany. Dr. Kleinridders’ research program aims at understanding causes and consequences of brain insulin resistance with implications for diabetes, obesity and neurological disorders. His studies focus on in the interaction of mitochondrial function and insulin signaling and its consequences on energy homeostasis and behavior. Several publications establish Dr. Kleinridders’ unique research focus on the role of brain insulin in metabolic disorders.
