Combining exercise with hormone could prevent weight gain
Once heralded as a promising obesity treatment, the hormone leptin lost its fat-fighting luster when scientists discovered overweight patients were resistant to its effects. But pairing leptin with just a minor amount of exercise seems to revive the hormone's ability to fight fat again, University... view more (2008-05-28)

How appetite-stimulating brain cells work overtime during fasting
During periods of fasting, brain cells responsible for stimulating the appetite make sure that you stay hungry. Now, a new study of mice reported in the January issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press, reveals the complex series of molecular events that keep those neurons... view more (2007-01-03)

Research provides clues to obesity's cause and hints of new approach for curbing appetite
Hot fudge sundaes and french fries aside, new research suggests obesity is due at least in part to an attraction between leptin, the hormone that signals the brain when to stop eating, and a protein more recently associated with heart disease.   view more (2006-04-10)

Protein made by fat cells may increase risk of heart attack in older adults
