The Concentration of Salivary Extracellular Vesicles Is Related to Obesity 💡 Researchers at #HelmholtzMunich and Universität Leipzig, have discovered a strong link between salivary extracellular vesicles (salivary EVs) and key obesity markers. Salivary EVs are small particles in saliva that play an important role in communication between cells and can potentially be used for #diagnosis. 👩🔬 The study led by a team around Dr. Kerstin Rohde-Zimmermann & Kristin Röhrborn, #HelmholtzMunich, and Dr. Imke Schamarek, Universität Leipzig, shows that people with obesity have fewer of these vesicles, which could impact metabolism and eating behavior. 💬 "With this study, we provide new insights into the intricate relationship between metabolic health and the composition of saliva, which is highly relevant for oral health, taste sensation and eating behavior.” - Dr. Kerstin Rohde-Zimmermann 💬 “This work contributes to our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of taste sensation and eating behavior in #obesity and may pave the way for innovative strategies in obesity treatment and prevention.” - Dr. Imke Schamarek   👉 Learn more in our news: https://lnkd.in/dt26jPBe Universitätsklinikum Leipzig AöR   #ObesityResearch #Metabolism #HealthInnovation #Research #Therapy #prevention #Treatment
