Effect of adipose tissue on the sexual dimorphism in metabolic flexibility.

30 Oct 2009 Metabolic flexibility is the ability to transition between fat oxidation (fasting state) and glucose oxidation (fed state). We hypothesized that adipose tissue inflammation and lipid metabolism contribute to sexual dimorphism in metabolic ... Read more...

Prospective associations among cereal intake in childhood and adiposity, lipid levels, and physical activity during late adolescence.

29 Sep 2009 Cereal consumption is a common dietary behavior that has been associated with positive health outcomes. The objective of this study was to examine prospective associations between cereal intake in childhood and percent body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, ... Read more...

Role of insulin as a negative regulator of plasma endocannabinoid levels in obese and nonobese subjects.

8 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Endocannabinoids (ECs) control metabolism via cannabinoid receptors type 1 (CB1). Their plasma levels are elevated in overweight type 2 diabetes (T2D) and in obese patients, and decrease postprandially in normoweight individuals. We ... Read more...
