'Knocking Out' Cell Receptor May Help Block Fat Deposits in Tissues, Prevent Weight Gain
University of Cincinnati (UC) pathologists have identified a new molecular target that one day may help scientists develop drugs to reduce fat transport to adipocytes (fat cells) in the body and prevent obesity and related disorders, like diabetes. view more (2007-10-26)

Eating and weight gain not necessarily linked, study shows
A new study shows that increased eating does not necessarily lead to increased fat. The finding in the much-studied roundworm opens the possibility of identifying new targets for drugs to control weight, the researchers say. view more (2008-06-04)
Plastic surgeons identify hidden facial cheek fat compartments that are key to youthful appearance
Rejuvenating newly identified fat compartments in the facial cheeks can help reduce the hollowed look of the face as it ages, according to new research by plastic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center. view more (2008-06-25)
Eat less, weigh more? Enzyme makes lean mice 'susceptible' to dietary fat
Working with genetically engineered mice, Johns Hopkins scientists have interfered with the brain's ability to control an animal's response to a high-fat diet. view more (2006-05-03)
New study finds Power Plate exercise aids in weight loss, reduction of harmful visceral fat
New research presented at the 17th European Congress on Obesity (ECO) suggests that exercise done on Power Plate® vibration plate exercise machines in conjunction with a healthy diet may help people lose weight and trim harmful belly fat. view more (2009-05-11)

Journal SLEEP: Short, long sleep duration is associated with future weight gain in adults
Both short and long sleeping times predict an increased risk of future body weight and fat gain in adults, according to a study published in the April 1 issue of the journal SLEEP. view more (2008-04-01)
High-Fat Diets Inflame Fat Tissue Around Blood Vessels, Contribute to Heart Disease
A study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati shows that high-fat diets, even if consumed for a short amount of time, can inflame fat tissue surrounding blood vessels, possibly contributing to cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-02-19)
