Weight loss leads to dynamical changes in brain function and gut microbiome

Worldwide, more than one billion people are obese. Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers. But permanently losing weight isn’t easy: complex interactions between body systems such as gut physiology, hormones, and the brain are known to work against it. One method for weight loss is intermittent energy restriction (IER), where days of relative fasting alternate with days of eating normally.

Study identifies key markers for early detection of fatty liver disease in obese and non-obese individuals

In a study published in 'Scientific Reports', researchers found that insulin resistance markers TyG-BMI and HOMA-IR effectively predict non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risks in non-obese and obese individuals without diabetes, respectively. These findings suggest new, non-invasive methods for early NAFLD detection, particularly in atypical non-obese cases.
