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... view more (2008-11-07)

Association found between severe obstructive sleep apnea
A study in the October 15 issue of the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine shows that unrelated to obesity, people with severe SDBs consume a more unhealthy diet, which may be a factor contributing to greater cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. These findings were most evident among women.   view more (2008-10-15)

How and where fat is stored predicts disease risk better than weight
A new study in mice indicates that overeating, rather than the obesity it causes, is the trigger for developing metabolic syndrome, a collection of heath risk factors that increases an individual's chances of developing insulin resistance, fatty liver, heart disease and type 2 diabetes.   view more (2008-04-17)

Magic Beans — Anti-obesity soya could help prevent diabetes
A diet rich in black soya beans could help control weight, lower fat and cholesterol levels, and aid in the prevention of diabetes, reports Lisa Richards in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI.   view more (2007-02-26)

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)

Research shows skeleton to be endocrine organ
Bones are typically thought of as calcified, inert structures, but researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have now identified a surprising and critically important novel function of the skeleton.   view more (2007-08-10)

The relative amount of protein, carbohydrate, and fat that people choose to eat may be influenced by genetics, according to new research.   view more (2007-06-08)

Waist-to-hip ratio may better predict cardiovascular risk than body mass index
In a study to be published in the Aug. 21 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, investigators at UT Southwestern Medical Center found that people with a larger waist-to-hip ratio may be at increased risk for heart disease.   view more (2007-08-14)

BMI criteria for obesity surgery should be lowered, UT Southwestern researcher suggests
UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found that the existing body mass index criteria for obesity surgery often excludes a group of obese patients at risk of cardiovascular disease.   view more (2007-12-18)

Limiting fructose may boost weight loss, UT Southwestern researcher reports
One of the reasons people on low-carbohydrate diets may lose weight is that they reduce their intake of fructose, a type of sugar that can be made into body fat quickly, according to a researcher at UT Southwestern Medical Center.   view more (2008-07-24)

Researchers show how obesity causes breakdown in system which regulates appetite and weight

Sugars in liver found to clear fats from the bloodstream
Maybe you ate a big, juicy steak for dinner last night, adding a large amount of fat - scientifically known as triglycerides - to your system. For one in ten of us, that could be a big problem.   view more (2007-01-03)

In 3D, early fat development first requires 'remodeling'
In the May 5, 2006 Cell, researchers report the serendipitous discovery that the initial development of fat requires a "remodeling" protein that must first make way for the lipid-laden tissue's growth.   view more (2006-05-05)

Scientists Identify Bovine Gene Regulating Milk Production
MTT Agrifood Research Finland and the University of Lie'ge, Belgium, have worked together successfully in locating a gene that regulates total yield and protein and fat content of milk. The scientists found a variation in the growth hormone receptor gene in the bovine chromosome 20. The variation... view more (2003-02-20)

Gene linked to rare disease activates fat breakdown

Researchers grow stem cells from human skin
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have successfully isolated stem cells from human skin, expanded them in the laboratory and coaxed them into becoming fat, muscle and bone cells. The study, one of the first studies to show the ability of a single adult stem cell to become... view more (2005-06-23)

High cholesterol levels drop naturally in children on high-fat anti-seizure diet, Hopkins study show
Elevated cholesterol levels return to normal or near normal levels over time in four out of 10 children with uncontrollable epilepsy treated with the high-fat ketogenic diet, according to results of a Johns Hopkins Children's Center study reported in the Journal of Child Neurology.    view more (2008-08-27)

Fructose Sets Table For Weight Gain Without Warning
