Mizuno Neuroendocrine Research Lab

Mizuno Neuroendocrine Research Lab Our laboratory investigates regulation of metabolic and neuroendocrine functions.

We are interested in the role of hypothalamus in regulation of metabolism and food intake. Our lab is part of the Molecular Endocrinology Group in the Department of Physiology (Faculty of Medicine) of the University of Manitoba.
