RESEARCH
SPECIALITY
Thermogenesis, nutrient partitioning and body composition regulation
CURRENT RESEARCH THEMES
Molecular-physiological approaches for understanding:
(i)
the role of variations in metabolic efficiency (thermogenesis) in autoregulation of body weight
and body composition, and
(ii)

cardiovascular risks .
Main research topics :
· Molecular mechanisms of adaptive thermogenesis and substrate metabolism from a perspective
of system physiology
· Impact of nutritionally-induced alterations in thermogenesis on the early development of insulin
resistance and cardiovascular risks
· Biocative food ingredients as modulators of thermogenesis, fat oxidation, insulin sensitivity and
