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, educat...... hiện toàn bộ

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” w...... 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...... 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...... 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....... hiện toàn bộ

Angiotensin‐Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphisms and Obesity: An Examination of Three Black PopulationsWiley - Tập 13 Số 5 - Trang 823-828 - 2005
Holly Kramer, Xiaodong Wu, Donghui Kan, Amy Luke, Xiaofeng Zhu, Adebowale Adeyemo, Colin A. Chapman, Richard Cooper
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 hyperten...... hiện toàn bộ
Metabolic and Hemodynamic Response of Adipose Tissue to Angiotensin IIWiley - Tập 9 Số 8 - Trang 486-491 - 2001
Michael Boschmann, J Ringel, Susanne Klaus, Arya M. Sharma
AbstractObjective: Recent studies have revealed the presence of a local renin‐angiotensin system in adipose tissue. To examine the possible role of this system in adipose tissue, we performed microdialysis studies on the effect of angiotensin II (Ang II) on blood flow and metabolism in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (aSAT) and femo...... hiện toàn bộ
