What is he best known for?
The fields of study Francesc Villarroya is best known for:
- Gene
- Adipose tissue
- Insulin resistance
Insulin resistance is the topic of his studies on Glucose tolerance test and Glucose homeostasis.
His Glucose homeostasis study often links to related topics such as Obesity.
His Obesity study frequently links to related topics such as Glucose tolerance test.
Francesc Villarroya combines topics linked to Insulin with his work on Endocrinology.
In his works, he undertakes multidisciplinary study on Insulin and Insulin resistance.
His Internal medicine study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Fibrosis.
By researching both Fibrosis and Gene, he produces research that crosses academic boundaries.
His work blends Gene and Skeletal muscle studies together.
Francesc Villarroya combines topics linked to Endocrinology with his work on Skeletal muscle.
His most cited work include:
- Fibroblast growth factor 21 protects against cardiac hypertrophy in mice (267 citations)
- Activators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha induce the expression of the uncoupling protein-3 gene in skeletal muscle: a potential mechanism for the lipid intake-dependent activation of uncoupling protein-3 gene expression at birth. (152 citations)
- Opposite alterations in FGF21 and FGF19 levels and disturbed expression of the receptor machinery for endocrine FGFs in obese patients (152 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date
Francesc Villarroya is conducting research in Uncoupling protein and Thermogenin as part of his Brown adipose tissue study.
His research on Endocrinology often connects related areas such as Adipocyte.
He integrates Adipocyte and Brown adipose tissue in his research.
As part of his studies on Internal medicine, Francesc Villarroya often connects relevant subjects like Peroxisome.
His research links Uncoupling protein with Adipose tissue.
While working on this project, he studies both Gene and Downregulation and upregulation.
