Identifying molecular effects of diet through systems biology: influence of herring diet on sterol metabolism and protein turnover in mice.
<h4>Background</h4>Changes in lifestyle have resulted in an epidemic development of obesity-related diseases that challenge the healthcare systems worldwide. To develop strategies to tackle this problem the focus is on diet to prevent the development of obesity-associated diseases such a...
