A new study of mice reported at a meeting in Chicago this week, suggests caffeine and exercise may cut the risk of developing skin cancers caused by exposure to the sun... [?]
The scope of the obesity epidemic in the United States has been greatly underestimated, according to a study publishe in the open access journal PLoS ONE. Researchers found that the Body Mass Index (BMI) substantially under-diagnoses obesity when compared to the Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan, a direct simultaneous measure of body fat, muscle ma [?]
METABOLISM Linking obesity and high cholesterol Obese patients are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease and a hardening of blood vessel walls called atherosclerosis. One factor that drives atherosclerosis development in obesity is abnormal blood cholesterol levels... [?]
About 39% of all Americans who are currently classed as slightly overweight are probably, in fact, obese, researchers from of Weill-Cornell Medical College in New York reported in the journal PloS One... [?]
According to a study published Online First by Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, a JAMA Network publication, body mass index (BMI) together with waist measures (waist circumference, waist to height ratio) are connected with lipid and blood pressure evaluations among adolescents who are overweight or obese...

Strong and consistent evidence indicates that adults consuming a higher energy density (ED) diet have a higher body weight, whilst those who eat a relatively low ED diet experience weight loss and maintain their weight, whilst there is moderate proof that children and adolescents who eat higher ED diets are linked to higher weight...

Babies who are born small have a tendency to put on weight during childhood and adolescence if allowed free access to calories. However, a new animal model study at UCLA found when small babies were placed on a diet of moderately regulated calories during infancy, the propensity of becoming obese decreased... [?]

Heavier female babies are more likely to develop diabetes and related metabolic risks when they grow up compared with their male counterparts, according to a recent study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM). The incidence of early onset type 2 diabetes has been rising in stride with [?]
Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute have synthesized a pair of small molecules that dramatically alter the core biological clock in animal models, highlighting the compounds' potential effectiveness in treating a remarkable range of disorders-including obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and serious sleep disorders...
