- 1From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedClinically severe or morbid obesity (body mass index (BMI) >40 or 50 kg [m.sup.-2]) entails far more serious health consequences than moderate obesity for patients, and creates additional challenges for providers. The...
- 2From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: To document changes in body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) over a 10-year period 1998-2008, in representative surveys of adults. SUBJECTS: Adults aged 18-72 in the Scottish Health Surveys...
- 3From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedHumans have an innate requirement for sleep that is intrinsically governed by circadian and endocrine systems. More recently, reduced sleep duration has gained significant attention for its possible contribution to...

- 7From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVES: To assess whether sleep apnea severity has an independent relationship with leptin levels in blood after adjusting for different measures of obesity and whether the relationship between obstructive sleep...

- 9From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: To quantify the risk of hospital admission in relation to fine increments in body mass index (BMI). DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Population-based prospective cohort study of 246 361 individuals aged...
- 10From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin) is an adipokine potentially linking obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Here, we searched for genetic determinants that could...
- 11From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVES: (1) To investigate whether modulation of the cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1R) directly regulates the production of adiponectin (ApN) and other adipokines in omental adipose tissue (OAT) of obese subjects,...

Adaptive thermogenesis can make a difference in the ability of obese individuals to lose body weight
The decrease in energy expenditure that occurs during weight loss is a process that attenuates over time the impact of a restrictive diet on energy balance up to a point beyond which no further weight loss seems to be... - 14From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-Reviewed
Reduced anticipatory dopamine responses to food in rats exposed to high fat during early development
We have previously demonstrated that exposure to high fat (HF) during early development alters the presynaptic regulation of mesolimbic dopamine (DA), and increases incentive motivation for HF food rewards. The goal of... - 15From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Lifestyle intervention could help obese pregnant women to limit their weight gain during pregnancy and improve their psychological comfort, but has not yet been evaluated in randomized controlled trials. We...
- 16From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Due to the high prevalence of overweight and obesity there is a need to identify cost-effective approaches for weight loss in primary care and community settings. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the cost...
- 17From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: High-fat diets (HFDs) result in increased body weight. However, this is not uniform and determining the factors that make some animals or individual more susceptible to this diet-induced weight gain is a...

Body mass index following natural menopause and hysterectomy with and without bilateral oophorectomy
OBJECTIVE: The directional and temporal nature of relationships between overweight and obesity and hysterectomy with or without oophorectomy is not well understood. Overweight and obesity may be both a risk factor for... - 19From: International Journal of Obesity. (Vol. 37, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE: Bariatric surgery represents a powerful tool for morbid obesity treatment.
