| Dr Hui Chen
School of Medical Sciences - Department of PharmacologyStatement of Interests:
The effects of maternal nutrition interventions on appetite, body weight, hormones (plasma leptin, insulin), lipids, and brain peptide expression invovled in appetite and glucose metabolism in offspring are of interest. A palatable high fat diet (32% fat) is being used to induce maternal obesity. This approach will be used to address the possibility of preventing childhood obesity by drugs and behaviour interventions. A second area of study deals with the effects of cigarette smoking on appetite, body weight, plasma leptin, and hypothalamic peptides expression to address wasting diseases.
