Melanin Production Discovered in Fat Tissue May Protect Some Individuals Against Chronic Diseases Associated with Obesity
A two-year study conducted by researchers at George Mason University, INOVA Fairfax Hospital and the National Cancer Institute may open the door to new therapies for combating chronic diseases associated with obesity, a condition that affected more than 33 percent of American adults in 2005-06 according to the Centers for Disease Control and... view more...

Low glycemic breakfast may increase benefits of working out
The benefits of physical activity and a balanced diet are well documented and form the basis of many public health recommendations. view more (2009-04-15)
Rutgers researchers find fat gene
Rutgers researchers have identified a gene - and the molecular function of its protein product - that provides an important clue to further understanding obesity and may point the way to new drugs to control fat metabolism. view more (2006-03-21)
Even modest exercise can reduce negative effects of belly fat
A new University of Illinois study suggests that moderate amounts of exercise alone can reduce the inflammation in visceral fat--belly fat, if you will--that has been linked with metabolic syndrome, a group of risk factors that predict heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. view more (2009-04-24)
Why do eyelids sag with age? UCLA study answers mystery
Many theories have sought to explain what causes the baggy lower eyelids that come with aging, but UCLA researchers have now found that fat expansion in the eye socket is the primary culprit. view more (2008-08-27)
Kids still not drinking enough milk
American children are drinking too little milk and what they are consuming is too high in fat, according to a Penn State study. view more (2007-10-05)
Natural trans fats have health benefits, University of Alberta study shows
Contrary to popular opinion, not all trans fats are bad for you. view more (2008-04-03)
Obesity genes revealed
A study of 228 women has revealed genetic variants responsible for body shape. Based on work in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, research published today in the open access journal BMC Genetics identifies natural variation in the human LAMA5 gene as a key determinant of weight. view more (2008-08-11)
Low-carb diet better than low-fat diet at improving metabolic syndrome
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease associated with it. In an article published today in the open access journal Nutrition & Metabolism, Jeff Volek and Richard Feinman review the literature and show that the features of metabolic syndrome are precisely those that are improved by reducing carbohydrates in the diet. view more (2005-11-16)
'Skinny gene' does exist, UT Southwestern researchers find
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that a single gene might control whether or not individuals tend to pile on fat, a discovery that may point to new ways to fight obesity and diabetes. view more (2007-09-05)
Consequences of exposure to an energy rich diet during development
The World Health Organisation recognises the world-wide epidemic increase of obesity-related cardiovascular and metabolic disease as one of the most important health issues of the new millennium. Although this obesity is in part due to the fact that many of us eat a diet high in saturated fat and sugars and do little exercise, there is emerging... view more... (2005-05-12)
To gain muscle and lose fat, drink milk: study
Part of an ongoing study into the impact of drinking milk after heavy weightlifting has found that milk helps exercisers burn more fat. view more (2007-08-09)
HSPH researchers discover natural inflammation-fighting mechanism in body-fat cells
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown molecular signaling pathway in body fat cells that normally acts to suppress harmful inflammation. Cellular stress caused by obesity, however, can override this protective function and convert the pathway into a trigger of chronic inflammation that raises the risk of insulin resistance, diabetes, and... view more...

New 'control knobs' for stem cells identified
Natural changes in voltage that occur across the membrane of adult human stem cells are a powerful controlling factor in the process by which these stem cells differentiate, according to research published by Tufts University scientists. view more (2008-12-04)
Study: being active as a preschooler pays off later in childhood
Being active at age 5 helps kids stay lean as they age even if they don't remain as active later in childhood, a new University of Iowa study shows. view more (2009-07-29)
Animal research raises possibility of end to fat-free diets
A new study in mice raises a tantalizing possibility - that humans may one day be able to eat any kind of fat they want without raising their risk of heart disease. view more (2007-05-08)
Research linking obesity and asthma shows weight reduction may provide therapy for asthma sufferers
Research presented at the American Diabetes Association's Scientific Sessions showed that therapies targeting abdominal fat tissue, such as weight loss, may provide a new approach to treat asthma. view more (2005-06-13)
Blocking an inter-generational cycle of obesity
Being exposed to high levels of nutrition before birth can influence the development of networks within the brain that regulate appetite to permanently set a pattern of appetite for life, according to researchers from the University of South Australia. view more (2006-11-22)
A bulging midriff roughly doubles women's chances of gallstone surgery
A bulging midriff almost doubles a woman's chances of developing gallstones and the need for surgery to remove them, finds an extensive study published ahead of print in Gut. view more (2006-02-13)
Brain's impaired ability to sense glucose might play role in type 2 diabetes
New findings from studies in mice suggest that defects in the brain's ability to respond to glucose play a role in the development of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes, and that a high-fat diet may contribute to impairing brain cells' ability to regulate glucose throughout the body. view more (2007-08-30)
