PRE- AND POST-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE

	Fellowships supported by an Institutional National Research Service Award (NIH), 
in the area of Lipid/Lipoprotein Metabolism and Cardiovascular Disease are available.
Research topics include regulation of hepatic production and secretion of lipoproteins; 
hormonal regulation of lipoprotein gene expression and apoB mRNA editing; genetic 
regulation of fatty acid oxidation and carnitine palmitoyltransferase; regulation of 
cholesterogenesis; phosphoinositides and calcium in transmembrane signalling; signalling 
mechanisms in the cardiac actions of epidermal growth factor; metabolic aspects of lipid 
absorption; autonomic mechanisms and vasoactive peptides in arachidonic acid and 
prostaglandin metabolism; regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes; the role of leptin in obesity 
and its genetic and hormonal regulation; the role of the b-adrenergic receptor in thyroid 
hormone action and relationship to lipid metabolism.  Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or 
permanent residents.  Minorities and women are especially encouraged to apply.  Please 
send curriculum vitae and names of three references to:  Betty Hudson, Department of 
Pharmacology, University of Tennessee, Memphis, 874 Union Avenue,
