- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To undertake a 6-year longitudinal investigation of the relationship between the built environment (perceived and objectively measured) and change in body mass index (BMI). Specifically, this research examined...
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedN Heslehurst, J Rankin, JR Wilkinson, CD Summerbell Correction to: International Journal of Obesity (2010) 34, 420-428; doi: 10.1038/ijo.2009.250; published online 22 December 2009 Since the publication of the...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: We aimed at evaluating whether the addition of low-dose metformin to dietary treatment could be an effective approach in nondiabetic patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods: We...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedAims/hypothesis: Visceral and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) depots account for most obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular complications. Muscle satellite cells (SCs) are mesenchymal stem cells giving rise...

- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedHigh-calorie diet has been shown to impair learning ability and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in rodents. This study examined effects of daily treatment with the glucagon-like peptide-1 mimetic, exendin-4, on...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Neuropeptides NPFF and NPSF are involved in pain control, acting through the G-protein coupled receptors (GPR)74 (high affinity for NPFF) and GPR147 (equal affinity for NPFF and NPSF). GPR74 also inhibits...

Telomere length of subcutaneous adipose tissue cells is shorter in obese and formerly obese subjects
Obesity and increased fat mass are associated with increased adipocyte proliferation. Telomere length can serve as a biomarker of a cell's biological (vs chronological) age. To gain insight in the physiology of adipose... - 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: The purpose of this study was to ascertain the impact of obesity on the cost of disease management in people with or at high risk of atherothrombotic disease from a governmental perspective using a bottom-up...
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Efforts to explain negative attitudes toward obese people have centered on beliefs about the controllability of body weight, whereas other processes (such as the emotion of disgust) have been largely...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: Current clinical guidelines and public health statements generically prescribe body mass index (BMI; kg [m.sup.-2]) categories regardless of the individual's situation (age, risk for diseases, and so on)....
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To identify leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) and sedentary behavior patterns, as well as to investigate their relationships with overweight. Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: Men (n = 2206)...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To evaluate the weight loss efficacy, safety and tolerability of taranabant, a CB1R inverse agonist, in obese and overweight patients. Design: Multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBackground and aims: As interleukin-6 (IL-6) has an important role in general metabolism with high circulating levels in obesity and other associated diseases, the factors regulating its synthesis and release have been...
- 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjectives: Whether age or menopause per se influences fat distribution remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the change of body composition, particularly body fat distribution, in relation to...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedIn this analysis, we bring together two research fields that have never been associated before: the clinical issue 'Quetelet's body-mass index and longevity' and the comparative biological issue 'body-brain allometry'....
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBackground: Ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) was recently extensively studied as a candidate gene for obesity phenotypes. As the human homologue of the mouse progressive ankylosis (ANKH) and...
- 18From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 34, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedObjective: To compare the effects of weight loss by an energy-restricted low-fat diet vs low-carbohydrate diet on serum peptide YY (PYY) levels. Design: 8-week prospective study of 30 obese adults (mean age: 42.8 [+...
