This Scholarships Requirements project will use metabolomic approach to study the hormone route changed in obesity and metabolic syndrome. Using a rat model of obesity we aim to understand the interaction between obesity and stress axis. http://www.callforpapersinfo.com
http://thescholarshipprogramme.com In particular we aim to assess how obesity affects the diurnal changes in the axis of stress and how this affects the metabolism of glucocorticoids in different tissues.The Scholarships Requirements project will develop a biomarker of abnormalities on the stress axis and examine how the disorder changes at different times of day.
