Peter Arner group- Lipid Laboratory
The group focuses on the regulation of the turnover of human fat cells and their lipid content, in particular how inflammatory factors within adipose tissue regulate the size and number of the fat cells.
About our research
The research group investigates novel aspects on human fat cell function and long-term longitudinal studies of the role of fat cell metabolism for body weight changes and associated clinical phenotypes. Peter Arner was the previous head for Lipid Laboratory for about 40 years when the laboratory predominantly focused on different aspects of normal and pathological human adipose tissue.
