  GWAS to Molecular Insights into Islet Cell Dysfunction\n(Presented by Ann
 a Gloyn\, Ph.D.\, Stanford University)\n\n \n\nAbout:\n\n\nThe McGarry Sym
 posium is named in honor of John Dennis McGarry\, Ph.D.\, who dedicated hi
 s 34-year career to diabetes research and made a series of groundbreaking 
 contributions to our understanding of mammalian metabolism. Dr. McGarry di
 ed in 2002.\n\n \n\nOriginally from Widnes\, UK\, Dr. McGarry earned his b
 achelor and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Manchester\, before complet
 ing post-doctoral training at the University of Liverpool and the Universi
 ty College of Wales. \n\n \n\nIn 1968\, he began working in the laboratory
  of Daniel W. Foster\, M.D.\, who became UT Southwestern's third Chair of 
 Internal Medicine.\n\n \n\nDr. McGarry's scientific career included discov
 ering that the molecule maloynyl-CoA\, an intermediate in de novo fatty ac
 id synthesis\, was also responsible for the regulation of hepatic fatty ac
 id oxydation and ketogenesis\, by virtue of its ability to inhibit the enz
 yme carnitine palmitoyltransferase. This mechanism for the reciprocal regu
 lation of hepatic fatty acid synthesis and oxidation has since been shown 
 to be the basis for regulation of fatty acid oxidation in all body tissues
 .\n\n \n\nIn the early 1980s\, he demonstrated the importance of the "indi
 rect" gluconeogenic pathway for the synthesis of hepatic glycogen.\n\n \n\
 nDr. McGarry's proposal that disordered metabolism of fatty acids\, rather
  than that of glucose\, may be the primary cause in the development of typ
 e 2 diabetes revolutionized thinking among diabetes researchers.
