Overweight and Cardiovascular and Renal Risk
Objectives
-To deepen in the early alterations, mechanisms and biomarkers that contribute to the development of obesity, vascular and renal alterations as a complication, from its fetal, biological, genetic and environmental origins
– To know potential signaling pathways susceptible to be therapeutic targets
– Early application of new technologies for the prevention and treatment of obesity and vascular and renal alterations in overweight subjects
Research Lines
– To identify early vascular and renal changes in overweight subjects and in animal models
– To study the state, mechanisms of vascular inflammation and endothelial injury in overweight and animal models
– To analyze the relationship of “-omic” markers (genomic, epigenetic and metabolomic) with obesity and vascular and renal alterations in overweight and animal models
– Interaction of biomarkers (biological, genomic and metabolic) and intervention in progression to obesity and vascular and renal complications
