G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are markedly involved in energy homeostasis. In recent years, progress has been made in deciphering the action of some of the GPCRs that are majorly involved in energy metabolism. In that respect, the Université Laval Research Chair in Obesity held the 15th edition of the Annual International Symposium to sum up the current knowledge around the metabolic role played by the GPCRs. Ten international experts (eight speakers, two session chairs) were invited to participate in the symposium, which represents one of the main initiatives of the Université Laval Research Chair in Obesity (led by Dr Denis Richard), whose mission is to promote research and the dissemination of knowledge in regard to the etiology, consequences, treatment and prevention of obesity. Every aspect of the metabolic actions that are mediated by the GPCRs were addressed.

G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCRs) 显着参与能量稳态。近年来，在破译一些主要参与能量代谢的 GPCR 的作用方面取得了进展。在这方面，拉瓦尔大学肥胖研究主席举办了第 15 届年度国际研讨会，以总结当前关于 GPCR 所发挥的代谢作用的知识。十位国际专家（八位演讲者，两位会议主席）受邀参加研讨会，这是拉瓦尔大学的主要举措之一肥胖研究主席（由 Denis Richard 博士领导），其使命是促进研究和传播有关肥胖的病因、后果、治疗和预防的知识。由 GPCR 介导的代谢作用的各个方面都得到了解决。
