This document outlines the projects granted under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 during 2015 with a primary purpose of basic research: the endocrine system/metabolism.

The following projects were granted:

• mouse models of calcium and bone disorders (calcium homeostasis, bone dysplasias, parathyroid, kidney)

• breeding and maintenance of genetically modified and mutant mice (mice, genetically modified, breeding, mutant)

• discovery of healthy lean gene mechanisms (genes, healthy leanness, obesity, diabetes)

• genetic control of endocrine development and tumorigenesis (pituitary, hormones, birth defects, tumours, genetics)

• metabolism, pharmacokinetics and biomarkers (metabolism, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, DMPK)

• the origin of new β-cells in pregnancy (β-cells, pregnancy, transdifferentiation, 4OHT, transgenic)

• cancer Pathways in Metabolic Disease (Metabolism, cancer, signalling pathways, therapy)

• the physiological role of B3 vitamins in energy metabolism (energy, vitamin B31 nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, mitochondria)

• circadian control of behaviour and metabolism (obesity, diabetes, clock, biological rhythms, physiology)

• embryogenesis, stem cells and cell fate decisions (stem cells, cell fate, embryogenesis)

• extracellular regulation of insulin resistance (iInsulin, obesity, type 2 diabetes)

• the mechanisms of ageing and age-related disease (ageing, age-related disease, healthspan)
