Main lines of research
• Influence of the balance between androgens and oestrogens on the development of abdominal adi- posity and visceral adipose tissue dysfunction in humans as pathogenetic factors of insulin resistance and diabetes, including:
• An integrated approach to the influence of sex hormones on the amount and dysfunction of visceral and subcutaneous fat as studied by clinical research, molecular genetics, molecular biology, transcrip- tomics, proteomics and metabolomics .
• The identification of pathogenetic markers of diabetes in severe obesity and predictors of diabetes remission after bariatric surgery .
• The role of disordered iron metabolism on the metabolic associations of polycystic ovary syndrome . • The effects of sex hormones on the metabolic and inflammatory responses to the oral administration
of different macronutrients .
