The management of overweight may include the use of dietary supplements targeted to counter the feeling of hunger. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial has been performed in 20 overweight females. These subjects were randomly assigned to supplement their diet with either an extract

Whereas previous studies have demonstrated that the development of syndrome X in obese Zucker rats (OZR) is associated with impaired arteriolar reactivity to vasoactive stimuli, additional results from these studies indicate that the passive diameter of skeletal muscle arterioles is reduced in OZR

BACKGROUND Introduction of the yellow obese gene (A(y)) into mice (KKAy) results in obesity and diabetes by 5 weeks of age. METHODS Using this model of type 2 diabetes, we evaluated male and female 6- to 8-month-old wild-type (WT, n=10) and KKAy (n=22) mice subjected to myocardial infarction (MI)

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that reduced skeletal muscle microvessel density (MVD) in obese Zucker rats (OZR) is independent of chronic elevations in mean arterial pressure (MAP). METHODS Microvessels in cross sections of gastrocnemius muscle from lean Zucker rats (LZR) and OZR were labeled

5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a drug that is clinically effective against depression, insomnia, obesity, chronic headaches, etc. It is only commercially produced by the extraction from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia because of a lack of synthetic methods. Here, we report the efficient
