“Search of natural compounds (mainly dietary polyphenols) with modulating effects on appetite and satiety by studying the secretion of anorexigenic intestinal hormones (CKK, GLP-1, GIP and PYY) using enteroendocrine cell models”.

PhD student: Jésica Martínez Godfrey. Directors: María Herranz López y Enrique Barrajón Catalán. Extracts enriched in these compounds will be studied in an animal model of diet-induced obesity, as well as in a clinical study in humans where the modulating effect of satiety and appetite will be correlated with electroencephalography profiles and neuroestimulation.
