... protocol led to ∼ 20% weight loss, normalized metabolic parameters and was associated with reductions in indices of glomerular and proximal tubular injury. The transcriptomic response to DMT was dominated by changes in fenofibrate- and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα)-governed...

..., is a population measure and not a rigid personal guide. Weight loss is considered de rigueur for treating obese diabetic individuals, but it is not usually considered for those deemed to have a normal BMI. Given the new evidence that early T2DM can be reversed to normal glucose tolerance by substantial weight...

...Priya Sumithran; Joseph Proietto Although weight loss can usually be achieved by restricting food intake, the majority of dieters regain weight over the long-term. In the hypothalamus, hormonal signals from the gastrointestinal tract, adipose tissue and other peripheral sites are integrated...

... restriction is the most commonly used weight loss strategy. In the present study, we examined the effect of weight loss on HDL-apoA-II kinetics in men with the MetS at the start and end of a 16-week intervention trial of a hypocaloric low-fat diet ( n =20) compared with a weight maintenance diet ( n =15...

...% respectively, were observed ( P <0.05 for all of the forms). Total plasma adiponectin was increased by 36% with borderline significance ( P =0.08). No correlations between changes in adiponectin complexes and changes in indices of insulin sensitivity were observed. In conclusion, diet-induced weight loss...

... to weight loss. Eighteen obese subjects were studied during diet-induced weight loss. β-Adrenergic receptor mRNA levels were quantified by reverse transcription-PCR–HPLC. β-Adrenergic receptor protein concentrations were measured by Western blotting using fluorescence laser scanning for detection. Subjects...

... as central to the development of atherogenesis. As part of a study to investigate responses to weight loss, we have assessed the effects on GSH status of a decrease in body mass of 5%, either after 6 days of complete starvation or 11 days of a very low calorie diet (2.55MJ/day). There were significant...

In Parkinson's disease, even in optimally treated patients, resting energy expenditure is raised and this may contribute to the weight loss seen in this disease. Severe muscle rigidity occurring during untreated periods results in a further increase...

When muscle temperature was stabilized before and after weight loss by immersing the forearm in water at 37°C, a reduction in body fat no longer influenced endurance. 6. It was concluded that the change in isometric endurance...
