Title of talk: GPR75: A Key Regulator in Obesity and its Impact on End Organ Health
This presentation will focus on the role of 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a vasoactive and proinflammatory lipid, and its high-affinity receptor, GPR75, across metabolic disorders including obesity, diabetes, and liver disease. Notably, in collaboration with Regeneron, several human loss-of-function GPR75 variants were identified. These variants are associated with leanness and protection against obesity. The presentation will also discuss the development of novel 20-HETE receptor blockers and agonists, including their role in the prevention and reversal of obesity-related cardiometabolic complications including liver diseases such as NAFLD/MAFLD. The research highlights how the 20-HETE/GPR75 pairing not only regulates inflammation, blood pressure, and vascular remodeling, it contributes to obesity and obesity-driven end organ damage.
