Effects of weight loss on adipose visceral and subcutaneous tissue in overweight adults.
Plasma metabolites and lipids predict insulin sensitivity improvement in obese, nondiabetic individuals after a 2-phase dietary intervention
TLDR
A model to predict insulin sensitivity improvements, 6 mo after LCD completion in a large population of overweight or obese nondiabetic subjects is proposed and may help clinicians assessing the large variability in dietary interventions and predict outcomes before an intervention.
Caloric restriction and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass promote white adipose tissue browning in mice
TLDR
It was shown that CR and RYGB significantly improved high-fat diet-induced lipid accumulation by promoting the browning of WAT.
Effects of 6-Month Weight Loss New Program on Anthropometric Measurements and Biological Profile
TLDR
It would appear that moderate weight loss of 8-10 % observed in the study resulted in significant improvements in laboratory parameters, which may be important for controlling obesity-related co-morbidities.
The role of adipokines in the improvement of diabetic and cardiovascular risk factors within a 52-week weight-loss programme for obesity.
Visceral adiposity index in female with type 2 diabetic mellitus and its association with the glycemic control.
Temporal Effects of Sleeve Gastrectomy on Glucose-Insulin Homeostasis and Incretin Hormone Response at 1 and 6 Months
TLDR
The role of SG for the treatment of obesity-related glucose dysregulation is supported, with significant improvements in measures of obesity, as well as static and dynamic measures of glucose, insulin, C-peptide and HOMA.
Mobile health, physical activity, and obesity
TLDR
Improvement of metabolic components in the group with more active physical activity was remarkable, and anthropometric indices and laboratory test results were improved in the smartphone-based intervention group.
Integrative phenotyping of glycemic responders upon clinical weight loss using multi-omics
TLDR
Differences between responders and non-responders, that had lost >8% body weight following a low-caloric diet, may be due to de novo lipogenesis, keto-metabolism and lipoprotein metabolism.
The relationship of body composition indices with the significance, extension and severity of coronary artery disease.

TLDR
Limited evidence from a number of studies suggests a beneficial influence of physical activity on reduction in abdominal and visceral fat in overweight and obese subjects when imaging techniques are used to quantify changes in abdominal adiposity.
XENical in the prevention of diabetes in obese subjects (XENDOS) study: a randomized study of orlistat as an adjunct to lifestyle changes for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in obese patients.
TLDR
Compared with lifestyle changes alone, orlistat plus lifestyle changes resulted in a greater reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes over 4 years and produced greater weight loss in a clinically representative obese population.
Blood glucose and meal patterns in time-blinded males, after aspartame, carbohydrate, and fat consumption, in relation to sweetness perception
TLDR
Varied blood glucose responses after aspartame support the controversy over its effects, and may relate to sweetness perception, and help to understand why high-fat and high-carbohydrate foods were available ad libitum subsequently.
Pharmacotherapy in the management of obesity.
TLDR
Until more data are available, pharmacotherapy cannot be recommended for routine use in obese individuals and this conclusion extends previous determinations that diet pills are useless and only add to the problem.
Effect of a high-protein breakfast on the postprandial ghrelin response.
TLDR
High associations between gh Relin and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon suggest that stimulation of these peptides may mediate the postprandial ghrelin response.

The spread of obesity in a large social network over 32 years.
TLDR
Network phenomena appear to be relevant to the biologic and behavioral trait of obesity, and obesity appears to spread through social ties, which has implications for clinical and public health interventions.
Homeostasis model assessment: insulin resistance and β-cell function from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations in man
TLDR
The correlation of the model's estimates with patient data accords with the hypothesis that basal glucose and insulin interactions are largely determined by a simple feed back loop.
Obesity in Low-Income Rural Women: Qualitative Insights About Physical Activity and Eating Patterns
TLDR
Findings suggest that transportation difficulties confined some women to their homes, which were physical settings offering little opportunity for physical activity, and food insecurity and associated fluctuating household food supplies contributed to disordered eating patterns and to perceptions of dietary deprivation that affected food intake.
Determinants of leisure time physical activity in rural compared with urban older and ethnically diverse women in the United States.
TLDR
Rural and urban women seem to face different barriers and enablers to LTPA, and have a different pattern of determinants, thus providing useful information for designing more targeted interventions.
