3 July 2012
Full title: Resistant starch dose dependently reduces adiposity in obesity-prone and obesity-resistant rats
Presenter: Dr Damien Belobrajdic from CSIRO, Adelaide
Dr Damien Belobrajdic completed his PhD at CSIRO Human Nutrition in 2003 and was awarded the ASMR(SA) Holden Young Investigator that year. Since completing his PhD he has worked with Professor Graeme Young at Flinders Medical Centre and Dr Leah Cosgrove at CSIRO P-health flagship. Damien is currently a Research Scientist in the CSIRO Food Futures Flagship and he is interested in the role of wholegrains and dietary fibre on reducing the development of metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes. His research focuses on how dietary fibre effects glucose control during the postprandial period, day long energy balance and adiposity.
