Association of adiposity status and changes in early to mid-adulthood with incidence of Alzheimer's disease.

Oct 2008 Adiposity status and change are potential risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The authors used data on 2,322 participants in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging to analyze the relation between AD incidence and adiposity in Cox ... Read more...

Association of SIRT1 gene variation with visceral obesity.

25 Sep 2008 The sirtuin SIRT1 is an important regulator of energy metabolism through its impact on glucose and lipid metabolism and therefore we tested the hypothesis that genetic variation in SIRT1 may have an effect on adiposity in a Belgian case/control ... Read more...

Deletion of Mecp2 in Sim1-expressing neurons reveals a critical role for MeCP2 in feeding behavior, aggression, and the response to stress.

23 Sep 2008 Rett Syndrome (RTT) is an autism spectrum disorder caused by mutations in the X-linked gene encoding methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2). In order to map the neuroanatomic origins of the complex neuropsychiatric behaviors observed in patients with ... Read more...
