Bias, Discrimination, and ObesityWiley - Tập 9 Số 12 - Trang 788-805 - 2001
Rebecca M. Puhl, Kelly D. Brownell
AbstractThis article reviews information on discriminatory attitudes and
behaviors against obese individuals, integrates this to show whether systematic
discrimination occurs and why, and discusses needed work in the field. Clear and
consistent stigmatization, and in some cases discrimination, can be documented
in three important areas of living: employment, education, and health care.

Resistin, Adiponectin, Ghrelin, Leptin, and Proinflammatory Cytokines: Relationships in ObesityWiley - Tập 12 Số 6 - Trang 962-971 - 2004
Joan Vendrell, Montserrat Broch, Núria Vilarrasa, Ana Molina, José Manuel Gómez, Cristina Gutiérrez, Immaculada Simón, Joan Soler, Cristóbal Richart
AbstractObjective: To evaluate interactions among leptin, adiponectin, resistin,
ghrelin, and proinflammatory cytokines [tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs),
interleukin‐6 (IL‐6)] in nonmorbid and morbid obesity.Research Methods and
Procedures: We measured these hormones by immunoenzyme or radiometric assays in
117 nonmorbid and 57 morbidly obese patients, and in a subgroup of 34 morbidly

Body Fat and Fat‐Free Mass and All‐Cause MortalityWiley - Tập 12 Số 7 - Trang 1042-1049 - 2004
Janne Bigaard, Kirsten Frederiksen, Anne Tjønneland, Birthe Lykke Thomsen, Kim Overvad, Berit L. Heitmann, Grith Lykke Sørensen
AbstractObjective: To investigate whether the association between BMI and
all‐cause mortality could be disentangled into opposite effects of body fat and
fat‐free mass (FFM).Research Methods and Procedures: All‐cause mortality was
studied in the Danish follow‐up study “Diet, Cancer and Health” with 27, 178 men
and 29, 875 women 50 to 64 years old recruited from 1993 to 1997. By the end of

AbstractObjective: To investigate whether insulin and leptin share common
intracellular signal transduction pathways and to determine whether these
hormonal signaling systems modulate each other's action in rat
hypothalamus.Research Methods and Procedures: Male Wistar rats were studied
after chronic implantation of an intracerebroventricular catheter into the third
ventricle. Immunoprecipitation a... hiện toàn bộ
The Visceral Adiposity Syndrome in Japanese‐American MenWiley - Tập 2 Số 4 - Trang 364-371 - 1994
Wilfred Y. Fujimoto, Samuel L. Abbate, Steven E. Kahn, John E. Hokansno, John D. Brunzell
Japanese‐Americans have an increased prevalence of non‐insulin‐dependent
diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease when compared to native Japanese.
This increase has been associated with fasting hyperinsulinemia,
hypertriglyceridemia, and low plasma levels of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of both
visceral adiposity and ins... hiện toàn bộ
Adipocyte Differentiation‐related Protein in Human Skeletal Muscle: Relationship to Insulin SensitivityWiley - Tập 13 Số 8 - Trang 1321-1329 - 2005
Susan A. Phillips, Charles Choe, Theodore P. Ciaraldi, Andrew S. Greenberg, Alice P.S. Kong, Sunita Baxi, Louis Christiansen, Sunder Mudaliar, Robert R. Henry
AbstractObjective: To determine whether adipocyte differentiation‐related
protein (ADRP), a lipid droplet—associated protein that binds to and sequesters
intracellular fatty acids, is 1) expressed in human skeletal muscle and 2)
differentially regulated in human skeletal muscle obtained from obese
non‐diabetic (OND) and obese diabetic (OD) subjects.Research Methods and
Procedures: Ten OND subjects... hiện toàn bộ
Site‐Specific Changes in the Expression of Fat‐Partitioning Genes in Weanling Rats Exposed to a Low‐Protein Diet in UteroWiley - Tập 11 Số 3 - Trang 461-468 - 2003
Chris Maloney, Alison K. Gosby, J L Phuyal, Gareth Denyer, J M Bryson, Ian D. Caterson
AbstractObjective: Intrauterine growth restriction is associated with increased
prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in adult life, including increased
adiposity. The aim of this study was to investigate if maternal protein energy
malnutrition is associated with changes in expression of genes involved in fat
partitioning in weanling rats.Research Methods and Procedures: Time‐mated
mothers were pla... hiện toàn bộ

Angiotensin‐Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphisms and Obesity: An Examination of Three Black PopulationsWiley - Tập 13 Số 5 - Trang 823-828 - 2005

AbstractWe examined the association between obesity and 13
angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms, including the presence
(I) or absence (D) of an Alu element in intron 16 (I/D polymorphism), and
performed haplotype analysis using data collected from participants of a
community survey of hypertension among blacks living in Ibadan, Nigeria; Spanish
Town, Jamaica; and Chicago, IL. Tr... hiện toàn bộ
