Clinical and Integrative Diabetes and Obesity Study Section [CIDO]

[CIDO Membership Roster] [CIDO Meeting Rosters]


The Clinical and Integrative Diabetes and Obesity [CIDO] study section reviews clinical (patient oriented) research applications related to the prevention, pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes and/or obesity.  Specific areas covered by CIDO:  

  • The regulation of glucose, fat, and protein metabolism in the whole body and specific organs (e.g., liver, skeletal muscle, adipose, brain) in the setting of diabetes or obesity.  Studies may also involve the effects of substrates on hormone action and cytokines that mediate energy and regulate nutrient homeostasis.
  • Energy expenditure, thermogenesis, physical activity, and exercise in the context of the prevention, pathogenesis or treatment of human obesity or diabetes.
  • Body composition, the mechanisms which regulate it, and the metabolic consequences of distribution patterns of adipose tissue.
  • Prevention and treatment of obesity and diabetes utilizing lifestyle, pharmacologic or surgical interventions.
  • Central nervous system regulation of energy intake, energy expenditure, and nutrient partitioning.
  • Genomic approaches that are designed to address questions regarding physiology or pathogenic mechanisms of diabetes and/or obesity.
