Olivia worked with Carrie to examine the physiological relevance(s) of intracellular TG and how it impacts CNS processes. Specifically helped study the enzymes responsible for TG synthesis, acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 and -2 (DGAT-1 and -2) and their neuroanatomical expression and distribution in the brain.
