A novel homozygous mutation of the leptin gene was recently reported in an Egyptian child and his sister with severe early onset obesity. This mutation results from the substitution of asparagine (AAC) by lysine (AAA) at codon 103 of a non-mature (signal peptide-containing) leptin and corresponds to
The "in vivo" handling of L-alanine in 24 hours starved rats, in which obesity was induced by feeding with cafeteria diet, was compared with that of starved control rats. 14C-alanine was administered in trace amounts in order not to affect the normal handling of this amino acid. The results obtained
KK obese mice exhibit a multigenic syndrome of moderate obesity, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Here we show that the syndrome is accompanied by a marked elevation of leptin protein in adipose tissue, as well as leptin levels in serum, which corresponds with the degree of obesity. The cDNA
What effect does replacing chicken or pork with herring as the main dietary source of protein have on the human plasma metabolome?
A randomised crossover trial with 15 healthy obese men and women (age 24-70 years). Subjects were randomly assigned to four weeks of herring diet or a reference diet of
The esoteric anti-obesity effects of hyacinth bean (Dolichos lablab L) have largely remained unexplored. Herein, we investigated the anti-obesity mechanisms of hyacinth bean compared to milk thistle, a natural herb employed for ameliorating obesity-related diseases, using high-fat diet (HFD) fed
Preliminary evidence suggests that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may reduce body weight and affect body composition. The present study assessed the effect of CLA supplementation on body fat composition inoverweight and obese women, while also evaluating the liver safety of CLA use. Seventy-four
In an effort to develop novel mushroom-derived anti-obesitynutraceuticals, water and ethanol extracts containing the lipaseinhibitory compound from Phellinus linteus were prepared, and their nutritional components were determined. The optimal conditions for the extraction of P. linteus lipase
Eight grossly obese children (2 girls, 8 boys, age 12.6 +/- 2.1 mean +/- SD years, meanoverweight 73.3 +/- 14%) were treated for 3 weeks with a very low calorie diet (VLCD), containing 1022 kJ/240 kcal, 33 g protein, 25.5 g carbohydrate and 0.7 g fat/day. Mean weight loss after 3 weeks was 9.47 +/-
Atherosclerosis is characterized by an inflammatory disease linked to excessive lipid accumulation in the artery wall. The Notch signalling pathway has been shown to play a key regulatory role in the regulation of inflammation. Recently, in vitro and pre-clinical studies have shown
Leptin, a protein containing 167 amino acids, demonstrates structural similarities with cytokine family and is mainly produced by adipocytes. The leptin receptor (OB-R) is a large membrane spanning protein that belongs to the gp 130 family of cytokine class I receptors. Besides the neuroendocrine
This study explored underlying metabolism-related dysfunction by examining metabolomic profiles in adults categorized as lean, as having normal weight obesity (NWO), or as having overweight/obesity.Participants (N = 179) had fasting plasma analyzed by
To examine the prospective associations between exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and longitudinal measurements of glucose metabolism in high-risk overweight and obese Hispanic children.Forty overweight and obese Hispanic children (8-14 years)
Little is known regarding metabolic benefits of weight loss (WL) on the metabolically healthy obese (MHO) patients. We aimed to examine the impact of a lifestyle weight loss (LWL) treatment on the plasma metabolomic profile in MHO individuals. Plasma samples from 57 MHO women allocated to an
The satiating effect of whey proteins depends upon their unique amino acid composition because there is no difference when comparing whey proteins or a mix of amino acids mimicking the amino acid composition of whey proteins. The specific amino acids underlying the satiating effect of

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a construct used to separate "healthy" from "unhealthy" obese patients, and is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease. There is controversy over whether obese "metabolically well" persons have a higher morbidity and mortality
