Determinants of Adipose Tissue Development and Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
In this study the investigators hypothesize that pathological alterations in adipose tissue biology already occur during the development and progression of obesity in children and adolescents. The investigators aim to identify and characterize mechanisms and molecular targets that affect the development of adipose tissue and ensuing obesity in childhood and adolescence.
