Blog of Weight Loss & Obesity Research - Archive #0111.Corner stores capture kids on morning commuteOctober 4, 2008 - EurekAlert / The Obesity Society Annual Scientific Meeting Researchers recently examined the eating habits of urban children before and after school as part of a larger project to make corner store snacks healthier Newly identified cells make fatOctober 3, 2008 - EurekAlert / Cell The discovery of an important fat precursor cell may explain how changes in the numbers of fat cells might increase and lead to obesity Obese diners choose convenience and overeating at Chinese buffetsOctober 3, 2008 - EurekAlert / Obesity When dining at Chinese buffets, overweight individuals serve themselves and eat differently than normal weight individuals. This may lead them to overeat Making metabolism more inefficient can reduce obesityOctober 2, 2008 - EurekAlert / Journal of Biological Chemistry In a discovery that counters prevailing thought, a study in mice has found that inactivating a pair of key genes involved in "fat-burning" can actually increase energy expenditure and help lower diet-induced obesity Research team discovers brain pathway responsible for obesityOctober 2, 2008 - EurekAlert / Cell Researchers have, for the first time, found a messaging system in the brain that directly affects food intake and body weight Too many calories send the brain off kilterOctober 2, 2008 - EurekAlert / Cell An overload of calories throws critical portions of the brain out of whack. That response in the brain's hypothalamus -- the "headquarters" for maintaining energy balance -- can happen even in the absence of any weight gain, according to studies in mice Genes affect weight loss drug effectivenessOctober 1, 2008 - EurekAlert / Gastroenterology & A.G.A. A study conducted by researchers at Mayo Clinic shows that obese patients with specific genetic makeup had enhanced response to the weight loss drug sibutramine, while others who lack these genetic factors lost little or no weight New study indicates link between weight gains during pregnancy and dieting historyOctober 1, 2008 - EurekAlert / Journal of the American Dietetic Association Women with a history of dieting or other restricted eating practices are at risk of gaining an inappropriate amount of weight during pregnancy Scientists discover why a mother's high-fat diet contributes to obesity in her childrenSeptember 30, 2008 - EurekAlert / FASEB A new study suggests that pregnant women should think twice about high-fat foods. Scientists found that female mice fed high-fat diets were more likely to have oversized offspring (a risk factor for overweight and obesity) because fat causes the placenta to go into "overdrive" by providing too many nutrients to the fetus Colon cancer link to obesity uncoveredSeptember 30, 2008 - EurekAlert / JAMA It has already been proven that obesity is influenced by genetics, and colon cancer is influenced by genetics. A new study is the first to make a three-way scientific connection between genetic variation, obesity and colon cancer risk |
