Research summary

Joan Serrano's research examines how plant-derived compounds, especially grape seed proanthocyanidins (a class of polyphenols), affect metabolism, appetite, and gut function in animal models. The work explores how these compounds influence gut hormones, intestinal cells, gut bacteria, and fat tissue accumulation, often in the context of diet-induced obesity.
