BACKGROUND
Obesity has been associated with various health disorders, including psychological alterations. Cocoa consumption and weight management may produce a beneficial effect on these problems.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cocoa extract supplementation as
In order to assess the dopaminergic tonus, urinary determinations of HVA and DOPAC and also of noradrenaline (NA), adrenaline (A), and methoxyhydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) were performed in 86 obese children, 11 growth hormone (GH)-deficient short children and also in 40 control children. Part of the
METHODS
Several studies suggest neuroendocrine abnormalities in, particularly, abdominal, central obesity in humans, a condition with high morbidity and mortality. Therefore the concentrations of neuropeptides and catecholamines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were analysed in 48 obese women,
1. We investigated the effects of the chronic administration of a sympathomimetic agent on energy expenditure, protein metabolism and levels of thyroid hormones and catecholamines in 10 obese subjects after a 6-week very-low-calorie-diet programme (1965 kJ, 60 g of protein, 45 g of carbohydrates).
OBJECTIVE
Neurotransmitter systems participate in the regulation of food intake, and their activities are expected to influence eating behavior.
METHODS
We investigated possible associations between body mass index (BMI) and central noradrenaline, serotonin, and dopamine activities, as reflected by
Urinary excretion of monoamine metabolites (noradrenaline-NA, adrenaline-A, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl glycol-MHPG, homovanillic acid-HVA, 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid-5 HIAA) was studied in four groups of children as follows: Group I consisting of obese children subjected to caloric restriction and
A short term course (8-11 days) of diethylpropion 50 mg a day was administered to 12 obese children of both sexes fed a mixed low calorie diet containing about 1000 calories/day. A group of 10 obese children received the same diet and no medication. The sex-distribution was similar in both groups as
The effect of obesity and tyrosine (tyr) supplements on catecholamine metabolism in 12 normal weight and nine obese adult women was studied. Protein intake was maintained at 1.4 g protein/kg fat-free mass daily for 4 days with tyr added (0.26 g/kg fat-free mass) to the liquid diet on the last 2
With raising prevalence of obesity, the regulation of human body fat is increasingly relevant. The modulation of fatty acid uptake by enterocytes represents a promising target for body weight maintenance. Recent results demonstrated that the trigeminal active compounds capsaicin, nonivamide, and
We examined whether reductions in body fat stores and insulin resistance in Syrian hamsters induced by bromocriptine are associated with reductions in daily norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin activities as indicated by their extracellular metabolite levels in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). High
Insulin sensitivity is ~40% lower in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) than in controls. We tested the hypothesis that 5 weeks of electroacupuncture treatment improves glucose regulation and androgen levels in overweight/obese women with PCOS.
Seventeen women with PCOS, aged 18 to 38
BACKGROUND
This pilot study examined whether the addition of a normal protein (NP) vs. high protein (HP) breakfast leads to alterations in food cravings and plasma homovanillic acid (HVA), which is an index of central dopamine production, in overweight/obese 'breakfast skipping' late-adolescent
Severe obesity is a major problem in patients suffering from craniopharyngioma (CP), a benign tumor located in pituitary and hypothalamic regions. In this study, the hypothesis that hypothalamic damage leads to a reduction in overall sympathetic tone was tested. Catecholamines, as well as their
Obesity as a result of overeating as well as a number of well described eating disorders has been accurately considered to be a world-wide epidemic. Recently a number of theories backed by a plethora of scientifically sound neurochemical and genetic studies provide strong evidence that food
The human Carbonic anhydrases (hCA) VA and VB play a key role in ureagenesis, gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis and in the metabolism regulation, thus representing highly popular drug targets. Albeit several hCA inhibitors have been designed and are currently in clinical use, serious drug interactions
