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)

Visceral fat build-up is the high cost of inactivity
Inactivity leads to significant increases in visceral fat, and a moderate exercise regimen can keep this potentially dangerous form of fat at bay, according to the results of the first randomized clinical trial evaluating the effects of exercise amount and intensity in sedentary overweight men and... view more (2005-09-14)

LIPODYSTROPHY RISK FROM HIV-1 THERAPY (p 592)
The risk of lipodystrophy (abnormal fat distribution) in HIV-1 individuals undergoing antiretroviral therapy cannot be attributed to one antiretroviral agent, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Lipodystrophy among HIV-1-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy... view more (2001-02-21)

Belly fat may drive inflammatory processes associated with disease
As scientists learn more about the key role of inflammation in diabetes, heart disease and other disorders, new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that fat in the belly may be an important promoter of that inflammation.   view more (2007-03-14)

Fat children do not necessarily become fat adults
Most fat adults are not overweight as children, concludes a study in this week's BMJ, casting doubt on the widespread popular belief that fat children become fat adults.   view more (2001-11-28)

Modest gain in visceral fat causes dysfunction of blood vessel lining in lean, healthy humans
When lean healthy young adults gained about 9 pounds, the functioning of their blood vessel lining became impaired -- but shedding the weight restored proper functioning, according to a Mayo Clinic research report.   view more (2007-11-06)

Abdominal fat linked to higher death rate in men, new study shows

Dietary fat not linked to risk of stroke
Unlike heart disease, dietary fat does not seem to be associated with risk of stroke, finds a study in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2003-10-01)

Exercise important in reducing size of abdominal fat cells
Reducing the size of abdominal fat cells - which are a risk factor for diabetes and heart disease - takes more than cutting calories, according to new research from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.   view more (2006-08-08)

Fat on chest and upper back increases risk of insulin resistance
Upper trunk fat -- deposits of fat on the chest and back -- is associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance, a condition that is a precursor of type 2 diabetes, according to a study led by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center (SFVAMC).   view more (2007-08-20)

NHLBI media availability: Low-fat dietary pattern and weight change
Results of the first study on the long-term effects of a dietary pattern low in fat and high in carbohydrates suggest that a low-fat eating pattern does not lead to weight gain.   view more (2006-01-04)

Less expensive anti-clotting medication appears as safe and effective as more expensive treatment
Subcutaneous (beneath the skin) injection of the original and less expensive form of the anticoagulant medication heparin is as effective and safe as subcutaneous administration of the newer and more expensive low-molecular-weight heparin for treatment of venous thromboembolism (blood clots in the... view more (2006-08-23)

Enzyme promotes fat formation
The enzyme TPPII may contribute to obesity by stimulating the formation of fat cells, suggests a study in EMBO reports this week. The enzyme, TPPII, has previously been linked to making people feel hungry, but Jonathan Graff and colleagues now show that it may be even more deeply involved in... view more (2007-10-12)

Low-fat diet or vitamin E absorption? Walking the tightrope of heart disease prevention
Vitamin E supplements can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; a low-fat diet can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; but research at the University of Surrey has now shown that if a vitamin E supplement is taken with a low-fat meal, the absorption of the vitamin into the... view more (2004-10-06)

Injection of synthetic polymer may improve facial wasting syndrome associated with HIV
Facial injections of polylactic acid, a synthetic biodegradable polymer, may help improve the debilitating facial lipoatrophy (loss of fat in the face) associated with HIV infection and its treatment.   view more (2006-03-21)

Fatty diet does not increase risk of skin cancer
Eating fatty food does not appear to increase the risk of skin cancer. A study published today in the open access journal BMC Cancer contradicts previous research that showed a link between high fat intake and certain types of skin cancer.   view more (2006-05-30)

Researchers disprove 'fat redistribution syndrome' among men taking HIV drugs
There is no syndrome that causes increased belly fat and decreased facial and limb fat among HIV-positive men who take antiretroviral drugs.   view more (2005-10-14)

New technique determines that the number of fat cells remains constant in all body types
The radioactive carbon-14 produced by above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s and '60s has helped researchers determine that the number of fat cells in a human's body, whether lean or obese, is established during the teenage years. Changes in fat mass in adulthood can be attributed mainly to... view more (2008-05-12)

Fat around the heart may increase risk of heart attacks
