Effects of dietary amino and fatty acids on energy intake and glycaemia - implications for novel approaches to the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Current obesity treatments are limited in efficacy or have adverse effects. Our research has shown that specific fatty acids and amino acids markedly suppress energy intake and reduce blood glucose, without adverse effects. The goal of the proposed work is to evaluate the translational potential of these discoveries in obese diabetic patients. Ultimately, we hope to develop the findings from this research into novel, nutrient-based strategies for the management/prevention of obesity/diabetes.
