- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Excessive fructose intake causes metabolic syndrome in animals and can be partially prevented by lowering the uric acid level. We tested the hypothesis that fructose might induce features of metabolic...
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjectives: To evaluate the effect of urbanization and ethnicity on correlations between waist circumference (WC) and obesity-related cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: 1471 rural and urban Cameroonians, and 4185...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe adaptive hypothesis that an obese-prone genotype confers a fitness advantage when challenged with food restriction and food-related locomotion was tested using a rat model. Juvenile (35-40 days) and adolescent...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedContext: Obesity poses a significant health risk, but health risk is not equivalent to actual health status. Further, age and gender might alter the effect of body weight on physical health. Objective: To determine...
- 5From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between insulin-glucose metabolism, nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dipping and cardiac left ventricular mass (LVM) in obese adolescents without...
- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Stevioside is a non-caloric natural sweetener that does not induce a glycemic response, making it attractive as sweetener to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets. Obesity is frequently...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To analyze the effect of the juice obtained from two varieties of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck), Moro (a blood orange) and Navelina (a blond orange), on fat accumulation in mice fed a standard or a...
- 8From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To investigate whether drugs targeting peripheral cannabinoid-1 (CB1) receptor ameliorate adiposity comparable to central CB1-receptor antagonist or not. Measurements: Receptor binding assay and functional...
- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To study whether eating or physical-activity (PA) habits differ between obese and non-obese monozygotic (MZ) co-twins independent of genetic effects. Methods: Rare MZ pairs discordant for obesity (n = 14,...
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Excess intramyocellular triacylglycerol (IMTG), found especially in obese women, is slowly metabolized and, therefore, prone to longer exposure to intracellular desaturases. Accordingly, it was hypothesized...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Recently, it has been shown that the polymorphism 385 C/A of FAAH (fatty acid amide hydrolase) was associated with overweight and obesity. Visfatin has been identified as a protein expressed in visceral...
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjectives: The mechanisms for how saturated fat and sugar-based beverages contribute to human obesity are poorly understood. This paper describes a series of experiments developed to examine the response of...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedR Nyamdorj, J Pitkaniemi, J Tuomilehto, N Hammar, TH Lam, A Ramachandran, ED Janus, V Mohan, S Soderberg, T Laatikainen, R Gabriel, Q Qiao for the DECODA and DECODE Study Groups Correction to: International Journal...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedRationale: Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is the main degrading enzyme of the fatty acid ethanolamides anandamide (AEA) and oleoylethanolamide (OEA), which have opposite effects on food intake and energy balance....
- 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Neuromedin B (NMB) is a bombesin-like peptide, which inhibits food intake and modulates stress-related behaviour. An NMB gene polymorphism (P73T) has been earlier associated with obesity and abnormal eating...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedIntroduction: The success of obesity therapy is dependent on the genetic background of the patient. Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK), one of the transcription factors from the positive limb of the...
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedContext: Hyperglycemia resolves quickly after bariatric surgery, but the underlying mechanism and the most effective type of surgery remains unclear. Objective: To examine glucose metabolism and [beta]-cell function...
- 18From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Research shows that slower habituation of salivary responses to food stimuli is related to greater energy intake and that obese (Ob) individuals habituate slower than those of normal weight (NW). No study has...
- 19From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedContext: Very limited information is available regarding the function of human thyroid hormone responsive Spot 14 (human S14, hS14) in adipogenesis and human adiposity. Objective: To evaluate hS14 levels during...
- 20From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBackground: There is an absence of national statistics for maternal obesity in the UK. This study is the first to describe a nationally representative maternal obesity research data set in England. Design:...
