Area-level deprivation and adiposity in children: is the relationship linear? [PDF]

, 2013
OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that childhood obesity is inversely associated with deprivation, such that the prevalence is higher in more deprived groups.

Glycemic effects of quinine infusion in healthy volunteers

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Background We aimed to quantify the glycemic effects of quinine in healthy individuals. Methods We evaluated the glycemic profile in response to 4 h infusion of 500 ml of 0.9% saline versus 5% glucose solution with and without quinine at therapeutic dose

Circulating SIRT1 inversely correlates with epicardial fat thickness in patients with obesity [PDF]

, 2016
Background and aim: Obesity is increasing worldwide and is related to undesirable cardiovascular outcomes. Epicardial fat (EF), the heart visceral fat depot, increases with obesity and correlates with cardiovascular risk.

Genetic deletion of mast cell serotonin synthesis prevents the development of obesity and insulin resistance

Nature Communications, 2020
Serotonin inhibits adipose tissue thermogenesis. Here the authors show that obese mice housed in thermoneutrality have increased mast cell serotonin synthesis, and that inhibiting this pathway through deletion of mast cell Tph1 increases white adipose ...

Do routinely measured risk factors for obesity explain the sex gap in its prevalence? Observations from Saudi Arabia. [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of adult obesity is higher in women than men in most countries. However, the pathways that link female sex with excess obesity are still not fully understood. We examine whether socioeconomic and behavioural factors may mediate

An Under-the-Table Leg-Movement Apparatus and Changes in Energy Expenditure

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Introduction: Deskwork contributes substantially to sedentariness. Here, we evaluated an under-the-table apparatus that was designed to promote leg movement (fidgeting) while seated.

Coronary age, based on coronary calcium measurement, is increased in patients with morbid obesity [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: Obesity is a well-known of risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, recently an "obesity paradox" has been discussed, which is considered as a protective effect of obesity on the development coronary artery disease (CAD).

The ‘Goldilocks Zone’ from a redox perspective - Adaptive versus deleterious responses to oxidative stress in striated muscle

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Consequences of oxidative stress may be beneficial or detrimental in physiological systems. An organ system’s position on the ‘hormetic curve’ is governed by the source and temporality of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, proximity of ROS to ...

Tailoring limb length based on total small bowel length in one anastomosis gastric bypass surgery (TAILOR study): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2022
Background The one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is being performed by an increasing number of bariatric centers over the world. However, the optimal length of the biliopancreatic (BP) limb remains a topic of discussion. Retrospective studies suggest

High Prevalence of Obesity in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) Requiring Invasive Mechanical Ventilation

Obesity, 2020
The COVID‐19 pandemic is rapidly spreading worldwide, notably in Europe and North America where obesity is highly prevalent. The relation between obesity and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) has not been fully documented.
