Metabolic syndrome is defined as the co-occurrence of several risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease: mainly obesity, insulin resistance, high triglyceride and LDL cholesterol levels, and hypertension. These risk factors are determined by many genes with small effects and their interactions with environmental factors. Genome-wide association studies have so far revealed only a small fraction of the heritability of complex pathophysiological traits in humans. Thus, analyses of animal models of human complex diseases may represent a useful alternative. The department's research is focused on the following projects:
- Uncovering genes regulating hemodynamic and metabolic traits in the SHR strain.
- Analysis of the mechanisms underlying the development of salt sensitive hypertension.
