USAObjectives Differences in public beliefs about causes of obesity between the USA and Germany are analyzed. We additionally examine the relevance of social characteristics of individuals with obesity for causal attributions in the two countries. Methods National telephone surveys were conducted in both ...
Most adults in England are overweight, and one in five¾ around 8 million in total¾ is obese, says a government report. If the current trend continues, by 2005 a quarter of women and a fifth of men could be obese.Currently 30 000 deaths a year are linked to obesity. The cost to...
When is it appropriate to perform a workup for secondary causes of obesity? Secondary causes of obesity can be detected by obtaining a patient history and performing a physical examination. Laboratory testing is recommended when additional findings are present, such as dysmorphic features, short statu...
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a characteristic trait of human and rodent obesity, insulin resistance and fatty liver disease. Here we show that high-fat diet (HFD) feeding causes mitochondrial fragmentation in inguinal white adipocytes from male mice, leading to reduced oxidative capacity by a process ...

Understanding possible causes of cancer comes down to understanding the causes of gene and DNA mutations. Chemicals (like carcinogens), radiation, obesity, hormones, chronic inflammation, smoking, viruses, and a number of other factors have been found to be cancer causing. ...
We used waist and hip circumferences in the models as measures of obesity because a large cohort of Iranian participants with the same age range showed that the significant impact of visceral adiposity becomes evident only when considering both waist circumference as a risk factor and hip ...
the cause. The main causes of delayed puberty due to a genetic etiology include isolated gonadotropin deficiency and gonadal dysgenesis. Due to the lack of estrogen production, patients require hormone replacement in order to achieve breast development and eventually start menstruation. In addition, ...
Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in adipose tissue is known to promote obesity. We hypothesized that HIF-1α interferes with brown fat thermogenesis, thus decreasing energy expenditure. To test this hypothesis, we compared transgenic mice constitutively expressing HIF-1α in adipose tissues ...
