William Cefalu (PI)
Given the complications for metabolic syndrome, it is imperative that we implement effective strategies to improve the underlying pathophysiologic factors contributing to the condition. This is a comprehensive study of botanicals and their effects to modulate pathologic processes leading to the development of metabolic syndrome. Positive findings have great potential for being translated into practical benefits for human health.
