- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedAdipose tissue (AT) is now recognized as an organ synthesizing and secreting numerous factors termed adipokines. So far, more than two hundred factors have been identified, acting in an autocrine, paracrine or endocrine...
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedPreoperative evaluation of candidates for bariatric surgery: An interdisciplinary team is mandatory to evaluate candidates for bariatric surgery. This team consists of an internist with experience in nutritional and...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedAccumulating recent evidences propose that metastatic traits of breast cancer cells are acquired through exposure of tumour cells to paracrine signals that they receive from the tumour-associated stroma. Most of the...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedPrevious evidence suggests that exercise improves energy balance by increasing the sensitivity of appetite regulation (Long et al, 2002; Martins et al, 2007). The objective of this study was to determine the effects of...
- 5From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Several cross-sectional studies have concluded, based on weak inverse associations, that less activity leads to more body fat. However, such study designs cannot determine direction of causality, and the...
- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedInformation on body shape has long been used in categorizing and monitoring obesity. Alongside abdominal circumferences, recent studies further emphasize the value of indices such as sagittal diameter adjusted for thigh...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To investigate the relationship between sleep duration and subsequent body weight and fat gain in the Quebec Family Study. Methods: Body composition measurements and self-reported sleep duration were...
- 8From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To examine the expression of selected transcription factors involved in adipogenesis and genes related to lipid metabolism in abdominal subcutaneous and omental fat tissue. Research design and methods: We...
- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedThe challenge for public health interventions is to construct evaluations of either research or public health programs that are going to be used in decision making to make an impact on population health improvements....
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedTraditionally, there has been some opposition between weight management and psychiatry. The former limits its frame of reference to the body and diet, the latter to mental difficulties. yet obese patients have been...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Identifying and understanding conditions under which reactive body image (BI) disturbances occur is of special importance for confirmation of behavioural models of chronic dieting. Exposure to and/or...
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedOur purpose was to study the interaction effect between fatty acid consumption and the PPARgamma2 Pro12Ala variant on maternal anthropometry and metabolism during pregnancy and fetal growth. The EDEN study was proposed...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedMaternal factors can have major imprinting effects on homeostatic mechanisms in the developing fetus and newborn. Here we studied whether supplemented perinatal poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) influence energy...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: Physical activity (PA) may contribute to better compliance of recommended eating behaviors, and indirectly to improved weight control. The goal of this study was to analyze the relationship between PA and...
- 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To investigate the potential of inflammation to induce new adipose tissue formation in the in vivo environment. Methods and results: Using an established model of in vivo adipogenesis, a silicone chamber...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedNuclear hormone receptors of the NR4A subfamily are rapidly induced during the early stages of adipogenesis, leading to the speculation that they may have important roles in this process. One of the three subfamily...
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedDyslipidemia is part of the metabolic syndrome, which consists of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hyperlipidemia as well as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This metabolic disorder is one of the most...
- 18From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Young women are now gaining weight at a faster rate than mid-age women. Limiting weight gain in young women is likely to be an effective strategy for preventing obesity and reducing weight related illness....
- 19From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedThree sets of diagnostic criteria have been proposed to identify individuals with what has been termed the metabolic syndrome (MetS): WHO, ATP III, and the IDF. The goal is to identify individuals at increased...
- 20From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 32, Issue S1-2) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction: Age at adiposity rebound (AR), which corresponds to the second rise in the BMI curve, is a predictive indicator of future obesity. It consistently occurs early in the obese. The purpose of our study is to...
