Gayban, A.J.B. (author), Souza, L.A.C. (author), Cooper, S.G. (author), Regalado, E. (author), Kleemann, R. (author), Earley, Y.F. (author)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a spectrum of liver damage directly related to diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. The (pro)renin receptor (PRR) has recently been demonstrated to play a role in glucose and lipid metabolism. Here, we test the hypothesis that the PRR regulates the development of diet-induced hepatic...article 2023

Hogenelst, K. (author), Snippe, A. (author), Martinic, M. (author)Aims. Harmful drinking patterns are shaped by a broad complex interaction of factors, societal and individual, psychological and behavioral. Although previous studies have focused on a few variables at a time, the current study simultaneously examines a large number of variables in order to create a comprehensive view (i.e. phenotype) of harmful...article 2022

Wopereis, S. (author)Phenotypic flexibility is a methodology that accurately assesses health in terms of mechanistic understanding of the interrelationship of multiple metabolic and physiological processes. This starts from the perspective that a healthy person is better able to cope with changes in environmental stressors that affect homeostasis compared to people...conference paper 2022

Wickramasinghe, K. (author), Mathers, J.C. (author), Wopereis, S. (author), Marsman, D.S. (author), Griffiths, J.C. (author)Across the globe, there has been a marked increase in longevity, but significant inequalities remain. These are exacerbated by inadequate access to proper nutrition and health care services and to reliable information to make the decisions related to nutrition and health care. Many in economically developing as well as developed societies are...article 2020

Hoevenaars, F.P.M. (author), van der Kamp, J.W. (author), van den Brink, W.D. (author), Wopereis, S. (author)Health claims on foods are a way of informing consumers about the health benefits of a food product. Traditionally, these claims are based on scientific evaluation of markers originating from a pharmacological view on health. About a decade ago, the definition of health has been rephrased to ‘the ability to adapt’ that opened up the possibility...article 2020
