DiOGenes
The name DiOGenes is the acronym and stands for "Diet, Obesity and Genes". This project
addresses the influence of gene-nutrient interaction on the development of obesity.
The project will provide the scientific basis for achieving a better understanding
of the interaction between genetic background and measured phenotypic traits,
in particular dietary factors leading to weight gain or regain and their
consequences for the development of obesity and co-morbidities.
