NUTRITECH

Abstract

NutriTech is a European Commission funded FP7 research project (2012-2015) The goal of NutriTech is to quantify the effect of diet on “phenotypic flexibility”. Phenotypic flexibility extends on metabolic flexibility (the capacity to adapt fuel oxidation to fuel availability) and includes all underlying mechanisms and physiological processes of adaptation when homeostasis is challenged. Methods will in the first instance be evaluated within a human intervention study, and the resulting optimal methods will be validated in a number of existing cohorts against established endpoints.
