- 5From:Diabetes (Vol. 60, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE--It is recognized that there is a remarkable variability in the systemic response to high-fat (HF) diets that cannot be completely explained by genetic factors. In addition, pregnancy complications leading to...
- 6From:SAMJ South African Medical Journal (Vol. 102, Issue 9) Peer-ReviewedA spate of articles in the lay press have advocated a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet for cardiovascular health, questioning 'What's cholesterol got to do with it?' and whether cholesterol-lowering drugs, particularly...
- 7From:International Journal of Obesity (Vol. 38, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND AND AIMS: Gastric vagal afferents convey satiety signals in response to mechanical stimuli. The sensitivity of these afferents is decreased in diet-induced obesity. Leptin, secreted from gastric epithelial...
- 8From:Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology (Vol. 86, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: In vivo fatty acid synthesis and the pathways of glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) production were investigated in brown adipose tissue (BAT) from rats fed a cafeteria diet for 3 weeks. In spite of BAT activation,...
- 9From:International Journal of Obesity (Vol. 39, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to assess the activity of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-13 (interleukin-13) in blocking high-fat diet-induced obesity and obesity-associated insulin resistance and liver...
- 10From:International Journal of Obesity (Vol. 38, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedBACKGROUND: Bladder dysfunction has one of the highest prevalences as a comorbidity of obesity in industrialized countries. The aetiopathogenesis of obesity-associated bladder dysfunction is still obscure, but there is...
- 11From:Evidence - Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (Vol. 2017) Peer-ReviewedBackground. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of Seyoeum (SYE), a novel herbal meal replacement, on insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obese mice fed with a high-fat diet...
- 12From:Journal of Sports Science and Medicine (Vol. 17, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedCardiovascular morbidity and mortality of premenopausal women are significantly lower compared to men of similar age. However, this protective effect evidently decreases after the onset of menopause. We hypothesized...
- 13From:Journal of Family Practice (Vol. 68, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedA 26-YEAR-OLD WOMAN presented to our clinic with pruritic, hyperpigmented, symmetric edematous plaques on her upper flank, chest, and lower back (FIGURE) 3 weeks after starting a strict ketogenic (high fat/low...
- 14From:Pharmacognosy Magazine (Vol. 15, Issue 63) Peer-ReviewedByline: Min. Kwon, Jung. Kim, Eun. Lim, Yun. Kim, Hyungwoo. Kim, Myeong. Jung, Byung. Kim Background: Herbal medicine has been used for the treatment of obesity. Obesity is a very common global health problem, and it...
- 15From:International Journal of Obesity (Vol. 35, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedEnergy homeostasis involves a complex network of hypothalamic and extra-hypothalamic neurons that transduce hormonal, nutrient and neuronal signals into responses that ultimately match caloric intake to energy...
- 16From:Diabetes (Vol. 60, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedOBJECTIVE--Obesity is characterized by chronic oxidative stress. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has recently been identified as a novel hormone that regulates metabolism. NFE2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a...
- 17From:Biology of Sex Differences (Vol. 10, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground The obesity-related risk of developing metabolic syndrome is higher in males than in females of reproductive age, likely due to estrogen-mediated reduced adipose tissue inflammation and fibrosis with...
- 18From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 14, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedMuscle and bone masses are elevated by the increased mechanical stress associated with body weight gain in obesity. However, the mechanisms by which obesity affects muscle and bone remain unclear. We herein investigated...
- 19From:BioMed Research InternationalPeer-ReviewedChanges in lifestyle such as increase in high-fat food consumption are an important cause for vascular diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the involvement of ACE and TGF-[beta] in the aorta stiffness...
- 20From:BMC Genomics (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression has been implicated in molecular genetic events leading to the progression and development of atherosclerosis. We hypothesized that miRNA expression profiles...
