- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Several studies have reported increased fat oxidation with diacylglycerol (DAG) oil consumption. However, the effects of long-term DAG oil consumption on energy metabolism remain to be investigated....
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Evidence suggests that dietary calcium intake may be inversely related to body weight. One explanatory mechanism is that dietary calcium increases fecal fat excretion, due to either calcium soap formation...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedWe have reported that the sequence variation in the tenomodulin (TNMD) gene is associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), central obesity and serum levels of systemic immune mediators in the Finnish Diabetes...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Reduced sleep has been reported to predict obesity in children and young adults. However, studies based on self-report have been unable to identify an association in older populations. In this study, the...
- 5From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Obesity is rapidly becoming a global epidemic. Unlike many complex human diseases, obesity is defined not just by a single trait or phenotype, but jointly by measures of anthropometry and metabolic status....
- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedThe aim of this study was to reveal whether accumulation of the persistent organic pollutants (POPS), especially polychlorinated biphenyl (2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl, PCB 153), affects plasma levels of adiponectin...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedObesity, particularly its abdominal phenotype, a harbinger of the metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), is becoming one of the most significant public health problems...
- 8From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Chronically elevated interleukin-6 (IL-6) is implicated in obesity-associated pathologies, where a proportion of this cytokine is derived from adipose tissue. Proinflammatory prostaglandins, which regulate...
- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Limited data are available regarding longitudinal changes in body weight. Here, we describe changes in the prevalences of overweight and obesity and calculated the incidence of these indices during a 10-year...
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedObjectives: The insulin-sensitizing effects of thiazolidinediones are believed to depend at least in part on reductions in circulating levels of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA). The mechanisms that mediate the...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedInternational Journal of Obesity (2008) 32, 1747-1751; doi:10.1038/ijo.2008.165 In this issue of the International Journal of Obesity, Katz et al. report on a meta-analysis of school-based interventions (SBIs) for...
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ that influences many metabolic processes and accumulates in different depots, including the bone marrow. While the negative associations between visceral fat (VF) or...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAim: To review economic evaluations of weight loss drugs and compare reported incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERS). Methods: A literature search was conducted for cost-effectiveness (CEAs) and cost-utility...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To determine the effectiveness of school-based strategies for obesity prevention and control using methods of systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Peer-reviewed studies published between 1966 and...
- 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Many recent studies have highlighted the complex interaction between sleep duration, food intake and metabolic balance. Although a causal link is yet to be established, emerging evidence suggests that short...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedAging is associated with increased visceral fat, and recent studies suggested that in turn, visceral fat could influence longevity. We therefore tested whether obesity could be a condition of premature aging....
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedBackground: The postprandial responses in (an)orexigenic hormones and feelings of hunger are characterized by large interindividual differences. Food intake regulation was shown earlier to be partly under genetic...
