    Lab introduction The clinical nutrition laboratory searches for physiologically active substances that prevent diabetes, obesity, alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease and conducts research to find out the mechanism of action, and develops functional materials that prevent and treat chronic degenerative diseases using natural products. research is being carried out to develop
    Major research area
    • Diabetes prevention and treatment food and food material identification
    • Verification of antidiabetic and weight control effects of functional products
    • Development of functional products for obesity treatment derived from natural products
    • Diabetes treatment mechanism exploration and clinical application of food materials
    • Development of functional products for the improvement of alcoholic fatty liver derived from natural products
    • Exploration and product development of food materials and medicinal plants for the improvement of non-alcoholic fatty liver
