Gastric Electrical‐Stimulation Effects on Canine Gastric Emptying, Food Intake, and Body Weight [PDF]
Obesity Research, 2003 AbstractObjective: It has been reported that electrical stimulation at the distal stomach can disrupt intrinsic gastric electrical activity and delay gastric emptying. Gastric dysrhythmia and impaired gastric emptying are associated with upper gastrointestinal symptoms and weight loss.

Gestational weight gain and body mass index in children: results from three german cohort studies. [PDF]
, 2012 Previous studies suggested potential priming effects of gestational weight gain (GWG) on offspring's body composition in later life. However, consistency of these effects in normal weight, overweight and obese mothers is less clear.

The myostatin null mutation and clenbuterol administration elicit additive effects in mice
Animal, 2010 In mice, the myostatin (Mstn) null mutation and treatment with clenbuterol both increase muscle growth and decrease fat mass. Our objective was to determine whether mechanistic overlap exists by administering clenbuterol to Mstn null mice. Male Mstn null
