About Jakob Bellman

Research group

The gravitostat - a novel system regulating body fat homeostasis

Research Interest

The physiology behind regulation of food intake and body weight. Research on different levels including experimental animals, translational research and clinical studies.

Ongoing research

Translational and clinical trials investigating a new potential homeostatic mechanism for the regulation of body fat – the Gravitostat. This research is investigating a potential relation between increased loading of the long bones in the extremities and the body weight.
