Study type
Human Intervention
Principle Investigator
Dr. Aifric O'Sullivan
Objectives
To explore the genetic and diet related factors that influence metabolic phenotypes in monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (non-identical) adult twins. It will identify variable and non-variable components of metabolomic profiles, and explore the dietary factors that contribute to non-variables components of metabolomic profiles.
