Camacho-Monclova Kamille , Jeste Dillip , Betty Shih Pei-an

Background: Appetite change and metabolic complications have been studied to understand implications in the elderly cardiometabolic health. Peptide YY (PYY) plays an important role in appetite regulation; therefore is associated with obesity risks and metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS risk reported to differ in multiple racial categories, yet the mechanisms that drive this risk are not well understood.Objective and hypotheses: Our overall research aim is t...
