Objective
Bariatric surgery results in significant weight loss and reduces cardiovascular morbidity. However, a large variation in postsurgery weight loss is seen. Physical activity promotes weight loss in nonsurgically treated subjects with obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 months of supervised physical training following Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) on...
Objective
Little is known about long‐term metabolic (energy expenditure) adaptation after bariatric surgery.
Methods
Resting metabolic rate under basal conditions (RMR), total daily energy expenditure (TDEE), and body composition were measured in 25 participants in the Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery‐2.
Results
Six months after surgery, BMI (±SD) decreased (47 ± 6 kg/m2 to 37 ± 5...
Objective
The aim of this study was to determine whether the readiness for adopting healthy lifestyle behaviors was associated with mental health and comorbid conditions in youth with T2D.
Methods
A cross‐sectional comparison of various measures of mental health (distress, stress, resilience) and comorbid conditions (glycated hemoglobin, adiposity, hypertension) was conducted within a cohort of...
Objective
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of short‐term hypoxic versus normoxic training at preferred walking speed (PWS) on energetics, mechanics, efficiency, and metabolic risk markers in individuals with obesity.
Methods
Twenty‐three subjects with obesity performed nine 1‐hour sessions at PWS under hypoxia (3,000 m, n = 12; BMI: 34.0 ± 0.8 kg/m2) or normoxia (360 m, n = 11;...
Objective
The aim of this study was to examine whether baseline chronic stress and impulsive risk‐taking synergistically predict changes in visceral fat among healthy mothers in an observational, longitudinal, 18‐month study.
Methods
A prospective cohort of 113 adult women (age, mean ± SD: 42.83 ± 4.70; BMI, mean ± SD: 24.86 ± 4.32; 74%, n = 84 white) completed assessments at baseline and 18‐month...
Objective
Obesity is transmissible across generations through both genetic and nongenetic routes, but distinguishing between these factors is challenging. This study aimed to quantitatively examine the contribution of these genetic and nongenetic effects to assess their influence on obesity prevalence.
Methods
A mathematical model was proposed that incorporated both the genetic and nongenetic effects...
Objective
Aging is a significant risk factor for the development of obesity and hepatic steatosis associated with insulin and leptin resistance. Food restriction (FR) is commonly used for reducing body weight (BW), adiposity, and liver steatosis. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether FR in middle‐aged rats can recover the central leptin antisteatotic effects observed in the liver in young animals...
Objective
Treatment for binge eating disorder (BED), a condition associated with both excess adiposity and psychological distress, has not typically produced significant weight loss despite reducing binge eating. Characterizing factors that promote or inhibit weight loss in individuals with co‐occurring BED and obesity may help explain overall nonsignificant weight changes during treatment.
Methods...
Objective
This review summarizes the current understanding of the relationship between gut microbiota and the host as it pertains to the regulation of energy balance and obesity.
Methods
The paper begins with a brief description of the gut microbiota environment, distribution, and its unique symbiotic relationship with the host. The way that enviromental factors influence microbiota composition...
Objective
Medical management of obesity can result in significant weight loss and reduce the burden of obesity‐related complications. This report employs a new conceptual model to quantify engagement with obesity care and associated determinants in the US adult population.
Methods
Engagement with obesity care was conceptualized as a cascade comprising 5 successive steps: perceiving oneself as overweight,...
Objective
This study aimed to compare the causal effect of overall obesity and abdominal obesity on type 2 diabetes among Chinese Han individuals.
Methods
The causal relationship of BMI and waist‐to‐hip ratio (WHR) with the risk of glucose deterioration and glycemic traits was compared using two different genetic instruments based on 30 BMI loci and 6 WHR loci with Mendelian randomization (MR)...
Objective
Reasons for the higher obesity prevalence in African American women (AAW) compared with Caucasian women (CW) are unknown. Energy expenditure and maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) are lower in AAW. It was hypothesized that these differences are explained by skeletal muscle characteristics, particularly mitochondrial content and function.
Methods
Multivariate regression analyses were used...
Objective
This study aimed to examine the associations of two obesity‐related metabolite patterns with changes in metabolic biomarkers during early adolescence.
Methods
Multivariable linear regression was used to examine associations of branched chain amino acid (BCAA) and androgen hormone patterns with changes in glycemia (fasting glucose, insulin, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance),...
Objective
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of body fat patterns and single measures in assessing body fat and to clarify the use of indices based on waist circumference as measures of adiposity in children.
Methods
This study included 2,531 7‐year‐old children from the Generation XXI birth cohort (Porto, Portugal). Anthropometrics were obtained by trained personnel and whole‐body...
Objective
Activity thermogenesis and energy expenditure (EE) are elevated in intrinsically lean rats (high‐capacity runners [HCR]) and are also stimulated by melanocortin receptor activation in the ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH). This study determined whether HCR are more responsive to central modulation of activity EE compared with low‐capacity runners (LCR).
Methods
HCR and LCR rats received...
The past decade has been characterized by tremendous progress in the field of the gut microbiota and its impact on host metabolism. Although numerous studies show a strong relationship between the composition of gut microbiota and specific metabolic disorders associated with obesity, the key mechanisms are still being studied. The present review focuses on specific complex pathways as well as key...
Objective
High protein (particularly leucine‐rich whey protein) intake is recommended to mitigate the adverse effect of weight loss on muscle mass. The effectiveness of this approach is unknown.
Methods
Seventy middle‐aged (50‐65 years old) postmenopausal women with obesity were randomized to (1) weight maintenance (WM), (2) weight loss and the recommended daily allowance for protein (0.8 g/kg/d)...
