- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The clinical utility of a low glycemic index (LGI) diet for appetite and food intake control is controversial. Complicating the issue are psychological and behavioral influences related to eating....
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: The ileal brake is a feedback mechanism activated by nutrients, especially fat, with marked effects on satiety. The effects of low doses of ileal fat on satiety are largely unknown. We therefore studied the...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjectives: To examine whether a weight loss program delivered to one spouse has beneficial effects on the untreated spouse and the home environment. Methods: We assessed untreated spouses of participants in three...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: It has been proposed that the development of obesity in humans is influenced by the relative proportions of the two major phyla of bacteria (eacteroidetes and Firmicutes) present in the large intestine....
- 5From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedUsing urinary sugars as a biomarker of consumption, we have previously shown that obese people consume significantly more sugars than individuals of normal weight. However, there is concern that recovery of this...
- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: The marked weight loss induced by Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) for morbid obesity is still incompletely understood. It has been suggested that, besides the restriction imposed by the surgical procedure,...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedPancreatic polypeptide (PP) has been shown to inhibit food intake in both rodents and humans. Acute peripheral administration of PP increases oxygen consumption in obese mice. To further investigate the function of PP in...
- 8From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObesity has been implicated in the aetiology of liver disease. However, to date, evidence is largely drawn from cross-sectional studies, where interpretation is hampered by reverse causality, and from studies on clinical...
- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: This study aimed to determine whether time spent outdoors was associated with objectively measured physical activity, body mass index (BMI) z-score and overweight in elementary-school aged children,...
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedFerritin is a widely used marker of iron status. A relationship between iron stores, obesity and metabolic syndrome (METs) has been proposed. Objective: To compare serum ferritin between obese women with and without...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Prior studies have found a strong negative relation between smoking and body mass index (BMI). Smoking and unhealthy eating both imply a preference for utility in the present at the expense of future...
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To investigate the relationship between MKKS gene variations, obesity-related traits and features of the metabolic syndrome (MS) in the Greek population. Design and subjects: Genotype and haplotype analysis...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedThis article challenges Speakman's hypothesis that the modern genetic predisposition to obesity has arisen through random genetic drift in the two million years following predation release. We present evidence in support...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedRecent studies have suggested that macrophages were integrated into adipose tissues to interact with adipocytes, thereby exacerbating inflammatory responses. Furthermore, both adipocytes and macrophages appear to express...
- 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The global prevalence of obesity and overweight is increasing rapidly among adults as well as among children and adolescents. Recent genome-wide association studies have provided strong support for...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To determine the effect of obesity without the confounding effect of metabolic complications on the lipoprotein subclass profile in men and women. Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: A total of 40...
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedEpidemiological evidence indicates a link between obesity and human colon cancer. A putative association between obesity and colon tumorigenesis has been explored experimentally using chemical carcinogens administered to...
- 18From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Central fat mass (CFM) correlates with insulin resistance and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular complications. On the other hand, increased peripheral fat mass (PFM) is associated with...
- 19From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To establish that human adipocytes express functional glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) receptors and in particular the regulation of GIP receptor (GIPR) expression in the context of the dynamic...
- 20From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 11) Peer-ReviewedAlmost 50 years ago Neel proposed a hypothesis to explain the prevalence of obesity and diabetes in modern society-the 'thrifty gene' hypothesis. The fundamental basis of the hypothesis was that, in our early...
