The impact of ethnicity and intra-pancreatic fat on the postprandial metabolome response to whey protein in overweight Asian Chinese and European Caucasian women with prediabetes Open
The “Thin on the Outside Fat on the Inside” TOFI_Asia study found Asian Chinese to be more susceptible to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) compared to European Caucasians matched for gender and body mass index (BMI). This was influenced by degree of …

Dietary Patterns and Associations with Macronutrients, Body Fat Percentage and BMI in Older New Zealand Adults: The REACH Study Open
Dietary patterns (DPs) explore one's whole diet and can be used to investigate associations between dietary intake and obesity. This study investigates the DPs of community-dwelling adults (65–74 years, 36% male) and associations with body…

Trace biomarkers associated with spontaneous preterm birth from the maternal serum metabolome of asymptomatic nulliparous women – parallel case-control studies from the SCOPE cohort Open
Prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in asymptomatic women remains a great challenge; accurate and reproducible screening tools are still not available in clinical practice. We aimed to investigate whether the maternal serum meta…
