- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: To compare, in mice, the accuracy of estimates of energy expenditure (EE) using an energy balance technique ([TEE.sub.bal]: food energy intake and body composition change) vs indirect calorimetry...
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the metabolic risk factors of high hepatitis B viral load. DESIGN: Large-scale, community-based cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: A total of 3587 hepatitis B virus...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Estrogen deficiency increases body weight or total and central adiposity and decreases energy expenditure. Hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) expression is altered by estrogen deficiency in rodents, but the...
- 4From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that posttranscriptionally regulate gene expression and that have been shown to have important roles in numerous disease processes. There is growing evidence for an important...
- 5From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Fatty liver disease (FLD) is characterized by increased intrahepatic triglyceride content with or without inflammation and is associated with obesity, and features of the metabolic syndrome. Several recent...
- 6From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND AND AIMS: Diet-induced obesity (DIO) is an excellent model for examining human obesity comprising both genotypic and environmental (diet) factors. Decreased responsiveness to peripheral satiety signaling may...
- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThe interactions between obesity and infectious diseases have recently received increasing recognition as emerging data have indicated an association between obesity and poor outcome in pandemic H1N1 influenza...
- 8From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Adipose tissue expansion during obesity is associated with a state of low-grade inflammation and an increase in macrophage infiltration, which predisposes to insulin resistance and vascular malfunction....
- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: North American (NA) ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is a popular natural health product (NHP) that has been demonstrated to regulate immune function, inflammatory processes and response to stress and fatigue....
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of body weight and its changes over time with physical activity (PA). DESIGN: Population-based prospective cohort study (Norfolk cohort of the European Prospective...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Obesity prevalence stabilized in the US in the first decade of the 2000s. However, obesity prevalence may resume increasing if younger generations are more sensitive to the obesogenic environment than older...
- 12From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The biological mechanisms that link the development of depression to metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes remain obscure. Dopamine- and plasticity-related signalling in mesolimbic reward...
- 13From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Several gastrointestinal peptides are now recognized to have target functions beyond the intestinal wall, including effects on adipocytes. Secretin (SEC), one of the first identified, has not been evaluated...
- 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedThis paper reports the final 24-month outcomes of a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of additional therapeutic contact (ATC) as an adjunct to a community-based weight-management program for overweight...
- 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: The Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) was the first gene reliably associated with body mass index in genome-wide association studies on a population level. At present, the genetic variations within...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedInternational Journal of Obesity (2013) 37, 473;doi: 10.1038/ijo.2012.147 Correction to: International Journal of Obesity (2013) 37, 399-403; doi:10.1038/ijo.2012.105;published online 3 July 2012 Since the online...
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Longitudinal studies drawn from high-income countries demonstrate long-term associations of early childhood socioeconomic deprivation with increased adiposity in adulthood. However, there are very few data...
- 18From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedCONTEXT: Recent studies have shown that xenin can act in the hypothalamus, reducing food intake through a leptin- and melanocortin system-independent mechanism. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of body mass...
- 19From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBreathlessness on exertion is common in people with obesity. Assessments of breathlessness may include sensation (intensity, sensory quality or unpleasantness) and/ or the behavioral/emotional consequences of the...
- 20From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVES: To investigate temporal changes in the bias associated with self-reported (as opposed to measured) body mass index (BMI) and explore the relationship of such bias to changing social attitudes towards...
