(2014 , Master Thesis)
Obesity rates have reached alarming heights globally, having more than doubled since the 1980's. Over 60% of diabetic patients are obese, and the increasing severity of the disease is associated with Type 2 Diabetes ...
Effect of hypoxia on metabolic markers and gene expression HIF-1 α in adipocytes
(2015 , Master Thesis)
Background: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; omega-3 fatty acid) has been reported to have potential anti-obesity properties. Hypoxia is a condition that results from the excessive expansion of white adipose tissue resulting in ...
