  Metabolic syndrome
 

The metabolic syndrome refers to a group of metabolic alterations including obesity, hyperglucemia and hypertension which affect a large number of the population of developed countries.

Different approaches can be used to control it, and in our group, in particular we deal with anti-obesity agents, mainly PPAR alpha agonists and cannabinoid antagonists, either as single entities or as multiple ligands, and  also with PPAR alpha agonists for the treatment of hyperglucemia.
