In the episode, Dr. Willis K. “Rick” Samson (Saint Louis University School of Medicine) interviews lead author Dr. Eric Lazartigues (Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center) about the recent Review by Chhabra et al. on the latest discoveries related to the role of ACE2 in glucose homeostasis and regulation of metabolism. What are the consequences, in terms of pancreatic function and glucose homeostasis, for ACE2 knockout animals compared to animals used in overexpression studies? Listen as we discuss skeletal muscle effects related to changes in body weight, effects on intestinal absorption and the microbiome, as well as potential clinical applications of ACE2 therapies. What advice does Dr. Lazartigues offer to early career researchers about how to pursue their good ideas? Listen to find out.
