Objective
Chronic positive energy balance leads to obesity, and the “excess” weight is usually described as consisting solely of adipose tissue (AT) or its two components, fat and fat‐free mass (nonfat cell mass, extracellular fluid). This study aimed to clarify the nature of “obesity” tissue.
Methods
A total of 333 adults had AT, skin, skeletal muscle, bone, heart, liver, kidney, spleen, brain,...
Objective
This study aimed to examine the effects on postprandial glucose and insulin responses of interrupting sitting time with brief bouts of simple resistance activities (SRAs) in adults with overweight or obesity.
Methods
Participants (n = 19) were recruited for a randomized crossover trial involving the following two 6‐hour conditions: (1) uninterrupted sitting or (2) sitting with 3‐minute...
Objective
This study aimed to compare the associations of positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance (MR), and infrared thermography (IRT) imaging modalities with energy expenditure (EE) after brown adipose tissue (BAT) activation using capsinoid ingestion and cold exposure.
Methods
Twenty participants underwent PET‐MR, IRT imaging, and whole‐body calorimetry after capsinoid ingestion...
Objective
In a 2014 publication, evidence was presented supporting the association of BMI with the copy number of the salivary amylase 1 (AMY1) gene, with an unprecedented effect size of −0.15 kg/m2 (SE 0.02) per copy of AMY1. Most well‐powered attempts to reproduce these findings have not been successful. However, because of different study designs, a significant association may still apply under...
