- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-Reviewed'White hat bias' (WHB) (bias leading to distortion of information in the service of what may be perceived to be righteous ends) is documented through quantitative data and anecdotal evidence from the research record...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Although the human adenovirus-36 (Ad-36) has been associated with obesity and related lipid disorders in the United States, this association has yet to be identified in other countries. Therefore, we tried...
- 5From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedObjectives: It is well known that body weight loss through a direct (supervised) lifestyle intervention (LSI) improves obesity-related metabolic disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an...
- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like inducible protein that competes with glycoprotein D for herpesvirus entry on T cells) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family, primarily expressed in lymphocytes, which...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedObjective: The objective of this study was to analyze how fat partitioning in the liver, muscle and visceral compartments is altered by diabetes and age, and whether altered fat distribution is associated with a higher...
- 8From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe fat content of the body is sometimes expressed as the fat mass index (FMI), calculated as fat mass/height. (2 1) This is advocated because, unlike percentage body fat (%BF), the FMI is independent of fat-free mass....
- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Common variants near melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) have been related to fatness and type 2 diabetes. We examined the associations of rs17782313 and rs17700633 in relation to body fat, body fat distribution,...
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Smoking and obesity are two of the most important risk factors for chronic disease today. Their combined effect on the risk of disability pension is not known. Methods: A nationwide cohort of 45920...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedI read with interest the review by Wilkinl discussing the 'accelerator' hypothesis. I commend the author for bravely attempting to unite the type 1 and type 2 disease classifications and advance the theory of diabetes...
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Previous data indicate a rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity and overweight among English children and an emerging socioeconomic gradient in prevalence. The main aim of this study was to update the...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Adipokines play an important role in glucose, lipid and lipoprotein metabolisms, as well as in coagulation and inflammatory processes. So far, studies have evaluated the association of individual adipokines...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedM Nannipieri, F Cecchetti, M Anselmino, S Camastra, P Nicolini, M Lamacchia, M Rossi, G Iervasi and E Ferrannini Correction to: International journal of Obesity (2009) 33, 1001-1006; doi:10.1038/ijo.2009.140;...

- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Although the relationship between adult obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been shown, the relationship with childhood obesity remains unclear. Given the evidence of tracking of body mass index...
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedObjective: The immediate cause of obesity is the massive deposition of subcutaneous and visceral fat attributing to the continuous proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes. The identification of the underlying...
- 18From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedGenomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon affecting a small number of genes, which leads to differential expression from the two parental alleles. Imprinted genes are known to regulate fetal growth and a 'kinship'...
- 19From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Gestational weight gain (GWG) is associated with childhood obesity. We analyzed whether this effect persists into adulthood and is mediated by effects in childhood. Design: The design of the study a...
