Research focus has been the involvement of the fatty acid transporter CD36 in ectopic fat accumulation in obesity and DM2, sCD36 as a marker for this process and the relationship between ectopic fat in various organs, insulin resistance and sCD36. Recently, we have worked on establishing a method for measurement of circulating microvesicles, and investigated their potential role in atherosclerosis and insulin resistance.
