Daylight could help control our weightAugust 21, 2009 - University of Nottingham / Diabetes Exciting research into Brown adipose tissue -- brown fat, which is found in abundance in hibernating animals and newborn babies -- could lead to new ways of preventing obesity Increase in visceral fat during menopause linked with testosteroneAugust 20, 2009 - EurekAlert / Obesity In middle-aged women, visceral fat, more commonly called belly fat, is known to be a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but what causes visceral fat to accumulate?

Caltech researchers pinpoint neurons that control obesity in fruit fliesAugust 18, 2009 - EurekAlert / Neuron A team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have pinpointed two groups of neurons in fruit fly brains that have the ability to sense and manipulate the fly's fat stores in much the same way as do neurons in the mammalian brain. The existence of this sort of control over fat deposition and metabolic rates makes the flies a potentially useful model for the study of human obesity, the researchers note.
