Is vulnerability to cardiometabolic disease in Indians mediated by abdominal adiposity or higher body adiposity. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Indians may be particularly vulnerable to cardiometabolic disease, potentially due to higher body fat for a given BMI, or a tendency towards depositing abdominal adiposity.

Iowa Gambling Task: There is more to consider than long-term outcome.Using a linear equation model to disentangle the impact of outcome and frequency of gains and losses.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) has been widely used to assess differences in decision-making under uncertainty. Recently, several studies have shown that healthy subjects do not meet the basic predictions of the task (i.e. prefer options with positive long-

Executive Functions of Adults with Binge-Eating Disorder: The Role of Weight Status and Psychopathology

Brain Sciences, 2021
Findings on executive functions (EFs) in binge-eating disorder (BED) are inconsistent and possibly biased by associated comorbidities. This study aimed to identify whether distinct levels of physical and mental comorbidity are related to EFs in BED ...

Adiposity, adipokines, and risk of incident stroke in older men [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Background and Purpose—The association between adiposity and adipocytes and risk of stroke in older adults is uncertain. We have examined the association between adiposity measures and adipocytes (adiponectin and leptin) with incident stroke ...

Genome-wide DNA promoter methylation and transcriptome analysis in human adipose tissue unravels novel candidate genes for obesity

Molecular Metabolism, 2017
Objective/methods: DNA methylation plays an important role in obesity and related metabolic complications. We examined genome-wide DNA promoter methylation along with mRNA profiles in paired samples of human subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and omental ...

Birth-related, medical, and diagnostic characteristics in younger versus older children with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)

Journal of Eating Disorders, 2023
Background Although avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) presents the replacement and extension of feeding disorders of infancy and childhood, previous research into ARFID concentrated mainly on older patients.

Dietary determinants of changes in waist circumference adjusted for body mass index - a proxy measure of visceral adiposity [PDF]

, 2010
Background Given the recognized health effects of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype “waist circumference for a given body mass index (WCBMI)”, a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary ...

Disease consequences of higher adiposity uncoupled from its adverse metabolic effects using Mendelian randomisation [PDF]

, 2022
Background:Some individuals living with obesity may be relatively metabolically healthy, whilst others suffer from multiple conditions that may be linked to adverse metabolic effects or other factors.

Adipose-specific phospholipase as regulator of adiposity [PDF]

Nutrition Reviews, 2009
A white adipose-tissue-specific intracellular phospholipase, which releases arachidonic acid from position sn-2 of phospholipids, was recently discovered and named AdPLA. When AdPLA was induced by feeding or by insulin treatment, the arachidonic acid released from phospholipids acted as a precursor for the formation of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2 ...

The genetics of adiposity [PDF]

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018
Genome-wide discovery efforts have identified more than 500 genetic loci associated with adiposity traits. The vast majority of these loci were found through large-scale meta-analyses for body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and in European ancestry populations.
