Medical University of Gdansk Researcher Highlights Recent Research in Obesity (The Potential of Metabolomics as a Tool for Identifying Biomarkers Associated with Obesity and Its Complications: A Scoping Review).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the Medical University of Gdansk in Poland highlights the potential of metabolomics in identifying biomarkers associated with obesity and its related complications, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic fatty liver disease. The study focused on the influence of branched-chain amino acids, amino acids, and adipokines on the development of these conditions across different age groups and demographics. The research emphasizes the need for new diagnostic markers for early detection and intervention in obesity-related diseases, suggesting the development of biochemical test panels combining metabolites with classical markers as a way forward.
