Washington [US], October 5 (ANI): Obesity afflicts approximately 42 percent of the U.S. adult population and contributes to the onset of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, and other conditions. While popular healthy diet mantras advise against midnight snacking, few studies have comprehensively investigated the simultaneous effects of late eating on the three main players in body weight regulation and thus obesity risk: regulation of calorie intake, the number of calories you burn, and molecular changes in fat tissue. A new study provides experimental evidence that late eating causes decreased energy expenditure, increased hunger, and changes in fat tissue that combined may increase obesity risk.
Augusta [Georgia], June 25 (ANI): In preeclampsia, which puts both mother and baby at risk, researchers have found that a mid-pregnancy surge in the hormone leptin, which most of us associate with appetite suppression, causes appetite disturbances in the blood vessels and limits the baby's growth.
