Description

One current focus of nutrition research is the identification of biomarkers that reflect the impact of food on metabolic processes. As this approach mostly targets the prevention rather than the curing of diseases, novel biomarkers need to be identified. Those should be influenced by the diet already in healthy individuals and be nonetheless indicative, or even predictive, of the potential impact of specific food on the development of metabolic diseases such as obesity.
