Reduced-Calorie Dietary Weight Loss, Exercise, and Sex Hormones in Postmenopausal Women... - 0 views

  •  
    Not surprising, but nice to see in study.  Dr. McTiernan showed that weight loss as little as 5% reduces breast cancer risk.  The reason?  Decreased Testosterone production in women due to insulin resistance and decreased fat for aromatase conversion of Testosterone to Estradiol and decreased androstenedione to estrone.  This study confirms the importance of the obesity epidemic to health.

Obesity - The Obesity Pandemic: Where Have We Been and Where Are We Going? - 0 views

  •  
    nice study on contributors to the obesity epidemic.  Particularly inflammation.  This article touches on the idea that fat acts as a hormone producing organ.  Minus some of the treatment strategies, surgery and prescription drugs, this is a good article.   This article also touches on the implications of the obesity Pandemic as they state.

Pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease - 0 views

  •  
    The fastest growing liver disease today is NAFLD, which is a direct result of the rising obesity epidemic.  This is a good review of the current understanding on the pathophysiology of NAFLD.

JCI - Inflammation and insulin resistance - 0 views

  •  
    How does inflammation cause insulin resistance?  This in-depth paper helps to explain the current understanding.   More and more obesity is part of a growing inflammatory epidemic.

TESTOSTERONE CONCENTRATIONS IN DIABETIC AND NON-DIABETIC OBESE MEN - 0 views

  •  
    obesity linked to low testosterone in men.  Recent study revealed 15% decrease in testosterone in men.  With the rising obesity epidemic, we can expect the testosterone levels to only decrease more.

Chemical toxins: a hypothesis to explain the globa... [J Altern Complement Med. 2002] -... - 0 views

  • Because the obesity epidemic occurred relatively quickly, it has been suggested that environmental causes instead of genetic factors maybe largely responsible
  • exponential production and usage of synthetic organic and inorganic chemicals. Many of these chemicals are better known for causing weight loss at high levels of exposure but much lower concentrations of these same chemicals have powerful weight-promoting actions.
  • his paper presents a hypothesis that the current level of human exposure to these chemicals may have damaged many of the body's natural weight-control mechanisms. Furthermore, it is posited here that these effects, together with a wide range of additional, possibly synergistic, factors may play a significant role in the worldwide obesity epidemic.
