While Type 2 diabetes is known to be associated with many metabolic changes, relatively little is known about the intact metabolic profile of pre-diabetic animals. I plan to combine genetic mapping and micro array analysis with NMR spectroscopy and statistics, in order to identify metabolites and global metabolic profiles that are associated with the pathogenesis of diabetes.
