Food and Nutrition Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies how food changes the body's metabolism, starting from the stages before disease develops.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the body and understanding food
The Food and Nutrition Lab studies the relationship between food and the body's metabolism.
Overeating causes metabolic abnormalities, which lay the groundwork for diseases such as lifestyle-related diseases.
The lab aims to clarify how metabolism changes in the intermediate stages before disease develops.
It also investigates, using physiological and biochemical methods, the effects that characteristic components of food materials have on the body.
Key terms
- Metabolism
- The chain of chemical reactions in which nutrients taken into the body are broken down or converted into the substances the body needs
- Lifestyle-related diseases
- Diseases in which everyday habits such as diet and exercise play a major role, including diabetes and dyslipidemia
- Biochemistry
- The study of phenomena inside living organisms from the perspective of substances and chemical reactions
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies how dietary habits such as overeating change the body's metabolism on the way to disease. It also investigates, using physiological and biochemical methods, the effects that characteristic components of food materials have on the body.

When overeating causes metabolic abnormalities, it lays the groundwork for diseases such as lifestyle-related diseases. The lab aims to clarify how metabolism changes in the intermediate stages before overt disease develops.
*Illustrative imageEffects of food components on the body
Focusing on characteristic components contained in food materials, the lab investigates the effects these components have on the body using physiological and biochemical methods.
