Blog of Weight Loss & Obesity Research - Archive #0093.Overweight, obese women improve quality of life with 10 to 30 minutes of exerciseMarch 13, 2008 - EurekAlert / Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism Conference 2008 Sedentary, overweight or obese women can improve their quality of life by exercising as little as 10 to 30 minutes a day. Protein deficiency leads to faster fat burning in miceMarch 12, 2008 - Ohio State University / Journal of Biological Chemistry Researchers have developed a new, lean mouse with characteristics suggesting that someday, using medication to manipulate a specific protein in humans could emerge as a strategy to treat obesity and disorders associated with excess weight, such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Obesity chokes up the cellular power plantMarch 12, 2008 - EurekAlert / PLoS Medicine The machinery responsible for energy production in fat cells is working poorly as a result of obesity. This may aggravate and work to maintain the obese state in humans, suggests the recent Finnish study. Preschoolers benefit from daycare program to prevent obesityMarch 12, 2008 - EurekAlert / Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism Conference 2008 A preschool-based intervention program helped prevent early trends toward obesity and instilled healthy eating habits in multi-ethnic 2- to 5-year-olds. Revise guidelines for weight gain during pregnancyMarch 11, 2008 - EurekAlert / Expert Review of Obstetrics and Gynecology Heavy women gain too much weight during pregnancy, says a Saint Louis University obstetrician and obesity expert. Gene hunters fine-tune marker for common obesity geneMarch 11, 2008 - EurekAlert / PLoS ONE Genomics researchers, seeking to replicate another group's discovery of an important gene associated with obesity, have further refined the signal to a particular variant in DNA that may be more helpful in identifying this gene's role in obesity in various human populations worldwide. Maternal obesity not strongly linked to obesity in offspring says studyMarch 10, 2008 - EurekAlert / PLoS Medicine Greater maternal body mass index during offspring development does not have a marked effect on offspring fat mass at ages nine to eleven years New findings about the brain lead to treatment for eating disturbancesMarch 7, 2008 - Nature Reviews Drug Discovery The discovery of the brain's so-called melanocortin system and its central role in controlling appetite has paved the way for entirely new possibilities for treating obesity and anorexia. Restricting kids' video time reduces obesity, randomized trial showsMarch 3, 2008 - Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine Using a device that automatically restricted video-viewing time, parents reduced their children’s video time by an average of 17.5 hours a week and lowered their body-mass index significantly. Rare syndrome provides clues on obesity, blood pressureMarch 3, 2008 - EurekAlert / Journal of Clinical Investigation Researchers have found a clue about how resistance to the hormone leptin might disrupt the brain signals that tell the body when to stop eating. The research, which focused on the rare genetic disorder Bardet-Biedl syndrome, also found an association between leptin resistance and high blood pressure. |
