Maternal weight gain in pregnancy linked to children's risk of neurodevelopmental disorders

In a recent study published in the BMC Medicine journal, researchers in Sweden explored the association between above-optimal maternal gestational weight gain (GWG) and the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in offspring.

Grape polyphenols reduce angiogenesis in adipose tissue during overfeeding weight gain

A study published in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry investigated the changes in gene expressions during an overfeeding episode. It demonstrated that supplementation of grape polyphenols in healthy lean men modulates the expression of genes related to adipose tissue angiogenesis.

High consumption of ultra-processed food associated with increased body fat, particularly in the abdomen

Researchers evaluate the effects of high ultra-processed food consumption on the distribution of body fat.

Brown adipose tissue may help improve survival in people with cancer

Brown fat is not linked to cancer-associated loss of body weight and muscle mass, a common condition known as cachexia, according to a new joint study from The Rockefeller University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

Higher plasma caffeine concentrations might reduce body fat and type 2 diabetes risk

In a recent study published in the journal BMJ Medicine, researchers in the United Kingdom and Sweden investigated the probable causality of long-term serum caffeine concentrations on type 2 diabetes (T2D), adiposity, and major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

22 Mar 2023

Complications, pathophysiology, and treatment of type 2 diabetes differ by sex

In a recent review published in the journal Diabetologia, researchers in Austria discussed the sex-based differences in the risk factors, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches for type 2 diabetes and associated complications to improve awareness about and management options for all diabetes type 2 patients.

Childhood and adolescent obesity: time to act

In a recent review published in the journal Frontiers in Pediatrics, researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin presented an overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms, health implications, and management options for obesity among children and adults.

21 Mar 2023

Long-term antibiotic therapy for adolescent acne can affect liver metabolism and promote adiposity

A growing body of evidence is showing that the healthy gut microbiome – a community of microorganisms that live together in the gut – influences many aspects of human growth and development, especially during adolescence.

Hypothalamic inflammation and obesity, study suggests a pathological mechanism

In a recent review published in the European Journal of Endocrinology, researchers discussed current research on the relationship between human obesity and inflammation of the hypothalamus.

14 Mar 2023

A small protein could provide a revolutionary approach to tackling obesity-related diseases

Research published today shows that a peptide (small protein) called PEPITEM could provide a revolutionary approach to reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases such as hepatic steatosis (fatty liver).

How gut microbiota control feelings of fullness after eating

A recent study discusses recent findings linking satiety to the gut microbiome.

7 Mar 2023

Study paves the way to new sex-specific anti-obesity drugs

Sex differences exist in the regulation of energy homeostasis, the organism's mechanism to keep a stable body weight. Current studies indicate for instance that female mammals, including humans, are better protected against metabolic diseases during reproductive age.

7 Mar 2023

The effect of strawberry, blueberry, and strawberry-blueberry blend decoction-based functional beverages on obesity-related metabolic alterations

Researchers evaluated whether polyphenol-rich strawberry and blueberry decoction-based functional beverages could prevent obesity or related metabolic alterations in high-fat and high-fructose diet-fed rats.

Adipose-targeted delivery of thyroid hormone alleviates hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis

A research team from LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has developed thyroid hormone (TH) - encapsulated nanoparticles modified with adipose-homing peptide, which selectively transport TH to adipose tissues.

20 Feb 2023

How the human gut microbiota is shaped by diet

A new study in the journal Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology aimed to summarize the impact of specific nutrients as well as diets on the gut microbiota as well as the future perspectives of using diet as a therapeutic microbiome modulator.
