RESEARCH
The research activity is focused on Metabolic-Nutritional interests. In particular, the research has been devoted to the development of two main areas:
1. Study of the physiopathological mechanisms underlying vascular damage.
a. In vivo studies on cohorts of subjects
b. In vitro studies on endothelial cells from human umbilical cord (HUVEC) from normal pregnancies or pregnancies complicated by different pathological conditions and on human and cell line adipocytes.
2. Study of the effect of nutrients on metabolic and vascular response and of the interaction environment / genes.
3. Study of adipose tissue and interaction environment / genes
