Overview

Obesity is governed by environmental, epigenetic, and genetic factors, their complex interactions, etc., and is associated with many chronic diseases. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS), polygenic risk scores, and obesity-associated candidate gene screens are used to identify genetic predispositions to obesity. Dietary and lifestyle behaviors are key modifiable determinants of obesity and are analyzed for the development of prevention and treatment strategies. Based on these multiple strategies, Protheragen provides a high-quality obesity prediction service and translates our research experience into the cornerstone of obesity research. Our goal is to develop effective prediction tools, identify factors that modify the risk of obesity, and ultimately develop effective methods to prevent and treat obesity. In addition to this, we provide high-quality anti-obesity therapy development and preclinical research work and provide comprehensive support to our clients at all stages of their obesity research.

High-quality Anti-Obesity Therapy Development

Target screening

The therapeutic mechanisms of anti-obesity therapies include increasing energy expenditure, suppressing appetite, promoting white adipose tissue transformation, etc. Currently, a variety of therapeutic targets have been developed that exert anti-obesity effects, including various receptors, signaling molecules, and so on. We screen suitable targets and design specific anti-obesity therapeutics according to our client's research needs.

Therapeutic development

Gene therapy, cell therapy, antibody therapy, tissue engineering therapy, and nanotherapies are all innovative strategies that have an important place in anti-obesity research. We provide services to support these therapies from scratch design to preclinical studies. In addition to this, we screen and synthesize various anti-obesity drugs and analyze their therapeutic efficacy and safety.

Comprehensive Preclinical Studies

We have a variety of obesity models to support preclinical studies for the development of anti-obesity therapies. Based on our extensive experience in this area, we test the effects of these therapeutic strategies on energy metabolism, behavior, obesity reversal, etc., and evaluate their safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can GWAS be applied to obesity research?

GWAS are used to identify sequence variants in the whole genome through whole genome resequencing, and then filter out obesity-related SNPs through various statistical analyses. It rapidly and accurately locates multiple target genes and then obtains obesity-related candidate genes or genomic regions, which has various advantages.

How can EWAS be applied to obesity research?

EWAS is an important tool for screening obesity-related methylation sites. It obtains genotypes by testing multiple individuals for genetic variants on a genome-wide scale and then combines them with accurate phenotypes for statistical analyses to screen for genetic variants that are most likely to affect obesity.
