Obesity study on front cover of Proteomics – Clinical Applications

The paper, whose first author is PhD student Sergio Oller, identifies proteins associated with weight loss and maintenance, and explores their relation to body mass index, fat mass, and insulin resistance and sensitivity, identifying potential biomarkers for weight loss and maintenance.

The work, much of which was done during Sergio’s research stay at NIHS in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2015, was part of the pan-European DiOGenes study, which involved data taken from nearly 500 overweight subjects who underwent a low-calorie meal replacement diet intervention, followed by a weight maintenance period.
