Correlating Post-menopausal Body Fat Accumulation With Proteomic Profile

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to be able to detect abnormal levels of plasma protein in post-menopausal women by using current validated protein models for visceral fat (VF) and body fat percentage (BFP,) as well as comparing the elevated protein markers to data obtained by bioelectrical impedance (BIA) will provide evidence that the protein markers could prove useful in monitoring patient’s health state in daily clinical practice.
