Abstract
Molecular profiling is a promising approach for the discovery of novel biological pathways or associations with clinical or genetic traits that may provide novel potential targets for therapy. Moreover, it also supports the ability to stratify subjects for improved obese subjects’ treatmentthrough personalized medicine and tailored treatments. This paper describes recent advances in obesity field based on transcriptomic or proteomic analyses in humans.
