Matrix characterization and effect of different types of fermented dairy products on liver fat, cardio metabolic risk and gut microbiome
RESEARCH AREA
Obesity and Metabolism
We conduct clinical trials and observational studies in adults with obesity and related comorbidities (e.g., non-alcoholic fatty liver, type-2 diabetes) to better understand the metabolic effects of obesity and weight loss, but also of qualitative changes in the diet.
- What are the metabolic effects of weight loss, and are they dose-dependent?
- Do diets of different macronutrient composition have important metabolic effects independent of changes in body weight?
- What are the mechanisms behind the observed effects of different diets on body weight?
- How do peripheral insulin sensitivity and pancreatic insulin secretion interact to determine plasma glucose homeostasis in obesity and in response to dietary interventions?
- What are the factors that determine the individual response to the same diet treatment?
