I ocasionally consult with extension faculty on issues related to lipid metabolism. 


Current Research Activities
Current Research
Work in my laboratory is mainly concerned with molecular aspects of lipid transport, the study of how lipids are transported between various organs in the body. More specifically our work is concerned with the characterization and regulation of lipases and their receptors, proteins that play major roles in removing lipids from blood. Lipases degrade triglycerides and phospholipids in blood and control the removal of cholesterol from plasma. Our effort has concentrated on two enzymes, lipoprotein lipase(LPL) and hepatic lipase(HL) and the major receptors for these enzymes, syndecans and glypicans, two classes of proteoglycans and a newly discovered receptor, GPIHBP1 (glycosylphosphatidyl inositol anchored HDL binding protein). Lipases because of their impact on plasma triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations play a major role in arterial wall plaque formation and the atherosclerotic process.  We are currently focusing our efforts on studies of the structure, molecular mechanism and function of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-HDL-binding protein 1(GPIHBP1). GPIHBP1 is a newly discovered protein which is essential to normal metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. 


Current Extension Activities
My current extension activities are minimal. I have helped Christina Stark with material concerned with saturated fats and trans fats.
