Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) in the Treatment of Obesity - 0 views

  • Weight loss was identical between the two groups, and there was no evidence for differential effects on hunger, mood or localized body measurements. Placebo injections, therefore, appear to be as effective as HCG in the treatment of obesity.
  •  
    HCG no more effective than placebo in weight loss

Effect of a High Protein Weight Loss Diet on Weight, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protei... - 0 views

  •  
    This study concludes that a energy restricted, high protein diet is more effective at weight loss than just a high protein diet.  There were also positive impacts on blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and hsCRP.

Weight Regain after a Diet-Induced Loss Is Predicted by Higher Baseline Leptin and Lowe... - 0 views

  • Appetite-related hormones may play an important role in weight regain after obesity therapy.
  • Subjects with higher plasma leptin and lower ghrelin levels at baseline could be more prone to regain lost weight
  •  
    leptin plays role in rebound weight gain after "diet" programs

Two-year changes in lipids and lipoproteins associa... [Obes Res. 1999] - PubMed - NCBI - 0 views

  •  
    Weight loss improves lipid profile.  Total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides were reduced with weight loss of 5-10%.  However, weight loss exceeding 10% resulted in greater reduction and longer maintenance of the improved lipid panel results.

Adjuvant Treatment and Onset of Menopause Predict Weight Gain After Breast Cancer Diagn... - 0 views

  • Menopausal status, nodal status, and adjuvant treatment were significant univariate predictors of weight gain
  • The greater weight gain seen in women with involved axillary nodes seems to have been due to the administration of systemic adjuvant therapy
  • An association of adjuvant chemotherapy and weight gain has been noted previously
  •  
    Older study, but adjuvant chemotherapy and age associated with weight gain after diagnosis.

Ineffectiveness of human chorionic gonadotropin in weight reduction: a double-blind study - 0 views

  • There was no statistically significant difference in the means of the two groups in number of injections received, weight loss, percent of weight loss, hip and waist circumference, weight loss per injections, or in hunger ratings
  • HCG does not appear to enhance the effectiveness of a rigidly imposed regimen for weight reduction.
  •  
    HCG ineffective in weight loss in a double-blinded study

Is central obesity, hyperinsulinemia and dyslipidemia associated with high-grade prosta... - 0 views

  •  
    No surprise that insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and obesity are associated with high-grade prostate cancer.  It's called inflammation.

The endocabbinoid system and the treatment of obesity - 0 views

  •  
    nice review of CB1 receptors and the role they play in obesity. Endocabbinoid receptors play an important role in the hypothalamus control of metabolism and energy. CB1 is active both centrally and peripherally. Increased CB1 activity increases fat storage; decrease CB1 activity increases fatty acid oxidation through adiponectin.

Consuming fructose-sweetened, not glucose-sweetened, beverages increases visceral adipo... - 0 views

  •  
    fructose intake, whether in foods or soda, is associated with disrupted metabolism and plays a major role in obesity.

Chronic inflammation in fat plays a crucial role in the development of obesity-related ... - 0 views

  •  
    chronic low-grade inflammation plays role in development of insulin resistance and eventually obesity.  This occurs in White Adipose Tissue

Obesity is associated with macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue - 0 views

  •  
    obesity is associated with dysfunctional immune response to adipose tissue.  The cause is inflammation from White adipose tissue resultant in increased recruitment of macrophages and resultant further inflammation.  M1 macrophages are the predominate culprit.

Foods fail to suppress Ghrelin levels in obese humans - 0 views

  •  
    Ghrelin is a hormone that is release to induce hunger and eating. Post meals, gherlin should decrease; but in obese individuals, a dysregulation between the GI system and the hypothalamus results in elevated gherlin resulting in overeating.

Circulating Ghrelin Levels Are Decreased in Human Obesity - 0 views

  •  
    low ghrelin levels found in obese individuals (Pima Indians).  Low ghrelin was associated with an inverse increase in fat, insulin, and leptin. It has also been shown to be associated with an inverse increase in Testosterone.

Central obesity and the aging brain - 0 views

  •  
    This study showed that abdominal obesity was associated with a smaller brain volume. Specifically, a high waist to hip ratio was associated with a 27% reduction in hippocampal volume.
