FTO and Anthropometrics: The Role of Modifiable Factors
Numerous gene variants are linked to an individual’s propensity to become overweight or obese. The most commonly studied gene variant is the FTO single nucleotide polymorphism. The FTO risk allele is linked with increased body mass, BMI and other lifestyle factors that may perpetuate an individual’s risk for obesity. Studies assessing eating behaviors,

Emerging Roles of FTO in Neuropsychiatric Disorders
FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) is a recently discovered gene related to obesity and expressed in various tissues of the human body, especially with high expression in the brain. Earlier studies have found that FTO is involved in several biological processes, including brain development and function.

Investigating the influence of precursor temperature on the bandgap energy, structural, and morphological features of Ti-doped barium sulphide material for photovoltaic application [PDF]
In this study, we use electrochemical deposition on FTO to grow BaTiS thin films. By varying the temperature of the precursors, we conducted thorough growth studies to understand how these process parameters affected the structure of BaTiS films.

Dry eye disease (DED) is a hallmark of primary Sjögren’s disease (SjD) and often resists conventional treatments like lubricant eye drops. Insulin nanoemulsions offer a potential solution by improving drug penetration and retention on the ocular surface.

Background A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene is a strong predictor of obesity in humans. The FTO SNP (rs1421085) results in a T to C nucleotide substitution that may result in an increased risk for ...

The role of genes and myokines of developing sarcopenia: A review [PDF]
Sarcopenia is associated with progressive generalized skeletal muscle weakness, persistent decline in muscle strength, function, and quality of life in the elderly population. The presence of sarcopenia worsens the prognosis of older patients.

FTO and Obesity: The Missing Link [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies revealed that variants within FTO (fat-mass- and obesity-associated) are strongly associated with obesity susceptibility. A recent study in Nature Genetics (Church et al., 2010) demonstrates that mice overexpressing fto exhibit a dose-dependent increase in body weight, confirming a role for FTO in the development of ...
