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

目前的肥胖治疗方法要么疗效有限，要么有不良影响。我们的研究表明，特定的脂肪酸和氨基酸显著抑制能量摄入和降低血糖，没有不良影响。这项拟议工作的目标是评估这些发现在肥胖糖尿病患者中的翻译潜力。最终，我们希望将这项研究的发现发展成以营养为基础的管理/预防肥胖/糖尿病的新策略。

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.
