Now, a 4-month randomized controlled trial in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) indicates that daily intake of resistant starch can alter gut bacteria composition and lower liver triglycerides and liver enzymes associated with liver injury and inflammation.

Researchers have discovered new insights into the regulation of fat metabolism. The focus of their study lies within the star-shaped non-neuronal cells in the brain, known as 'astrocytes'. Furthermore, the group announced successful animal experiments using the newly developed drug 'KDS2010', which allowed the mice to lose weigh without dietary restrictions.

The research notes that individuals who are obese have impaired connections between the dorsolateral hippocampus (dlHPC) and the lateral hypothalamus (LH), which may impact their ability to control or regulate emotional responses when anticipating rewarding meals or treats.

Researchers found that a low carbohydrate intake in men and a high carbohydrate intake in women are associated with a higher risk of all-cause and cancer-related mortality and that women with higher fat intake may have a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Their findings suggest that people should pursue a balanced diet rather than heavily restricting their carbohydrate or fat intake.

The different diet placed cells on a path to age healthily and avoid aging pathologies, though they did not live longer.

The findings bring scientists closer to understanding the causes of and how to prevent colorectal cancer.

The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure. Thu, 17 Aug 2023 16:39:51 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230817163951.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230817163920.htm Obesity leads to altered energy metabolism and reduced insulin sensitivity of cells. The so-called 'anti-obesity drugs' are increasingly used to treat obesity and have caused tremendous interest, especially in the USA. Researchers have now shown in people with obesity that reduced insulin sensitivity affects learning of sensory associations. A single dose of the anti-obesity drug liraglutide was able to normalize these changes and restore the underlying brain circuit function.

The study estimated a reduction in cardiovascular disease risk of 1.8% (from 10.15% to 8.34%), projecting up to 1.5 million cardiovascular events could be potentially prevented in 10 years.

Instead, the researchers said, clinical exercise testing -- a diagnostic procedure to measure a person's physiological response to exercise -- may be a more useful tool to help individuals achieve intended fat loss goals.

As a result, body weight and adipose tissue weight of obesity model mice were significantly reduced by the intake of Mallotus furetianus extract. Fatty liver was suppressed and adipocyte size reduction in adipose tissue was observed. Further investigation into the mechanism revealed that fat synthesis is inhibited by suppressing the expression of several transcription factors involved in differentiation into adipocytes.

The discovery is part of a project that found a mother's diet can affect not just her child's brain but also those of her grandchildren. 星期四,2023年8月3日21:38:15美国东部时间 //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230803213815.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230802132025.htm From influencing how our body stores fat to how our brain regulates appetite, hundreds of genes, along with environmental factors, collectively determine our weight and body size. Now, researchers add several genes, which appear to affect obesity risk in certain sexes and ages, to that list. The study may shed light on new biological pathways that underlie obesity and highlight how sex and age contribute to health and disease.

But unexpected new findings suggest that, for some people, conventional wisdom may be wrong.

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 13:42:19 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230726134219.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230725171933.htm Using a mouse model of high fat diet-induced obesity, a team of scientists has found that, compared to males, female mice are protected against obesity and inflammation because they secrete more of an immune protein called RELMalpha. Tue, 25 Jul 2023 17:19:33 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230725171933.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230725115924.htm 全球肥胖自1975年以来几乎增加了两倍,according to the World Health Organization. Numerous causes of obesity have been hypothesized including increased dietary fat, carbohydrate or ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption, inactivity, hyperlipidemia and hyperinsulinemia. Based on these hypotheses, solutions have been sought that involved decreasing consumption of suspected agents. Well-controlled studies have shown that increased consumption of UPF is associated with increased food consumption and weight gain while decreasing UPF consumption in the same subjects was associated with weight loss. However, these studies do not identify a specific cause of obesity since the diets include multiple variables. Researchers now present an alternative testable and actionable hypothesis/model about the cause of obesity. If validated, it could indicate clear steps to reverse obesity.

The research found that children who watched more television were more likely to develop metabolic syndrome as an adult.

Aside from lifestyle, predisposition plays a role, but genes cannot fully explain the inherited propensity to accumulate excess weight. A new study shows that a kind of formatting of the DNA code in one gene that is associated with satiety is implicated in a slightly elevated risk of excess body weight -- at least in women. This 'epigenetic marking' is established early on during the embryonic stage.

Diets emphasizing fruit, vegetables, dairy (mainly whole-fat), nuts, legumes and fish were linked with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature death in all world regions. The addition of unprocessed red meat or whole grains had little impact on outcomes.

This research was global in scope and focused on foods commonly considered to be healthy. Researchers derived a diet score from PHRI's ongoing, large-scale global Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological (PURE) study, then replicated that in five independent studies to measure health outcomes in different world regions and in people with and without prior CVD.

New research found that those with higher genetic risk of obesity can reduce the effects that are transmitted via hunger and uncontrolled eating by up to half through dietary restraint.

Most athletes know this, and many of them closely monitor their energy intake and training. However, a new study shows that the bodies of female athletes are negatively affected when the athletes consumes too little energy through their diet in comparison with their training volume.

This research contributes to the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms underlying obesity and offers valuable insights into potential medical interventions.

But new research suggests the celebs might not have been that far off. The review found that a specific type of restricted eating may reduce the chances of developing Type 2 diabetes and improve your overall health. Known as time-restricted eating, this type of fasting means having regular but fewer meals, cutting out late-night snacks and not eating for 12 to 14 hours (often overnight).

But they also speed up development of a lethal wasting disease called cachexia. In mice, researchers have found that pairing keto with a corticosteroid prevents cachexia and increases survival.

Switching from a traditional western-style low-fat breakfast, like oatmeal, toast and fruit, to a low-carb meal higher in protein and fat, like eggs with bacon or cheese, can help people with T2D better manage their blood sugar for most of the day.
