TL;DR: In women with ovarian or endometrial cancer, a ketogenic diet results in selective loss of fat mass and retention of lean mass and Elevated serum β-hydroxybutyrate may reflect a metabolic environment inhospitable to cancer proliferation.

TL;DR: Weight loss was associated with decreases in MOI, suggesting that weight loss has a more profound impact for reducing MOI in overweight women than exercise.

TL;DR: Obese children with waist circumference at or above the 90th percentile are at higher risk for dyslipidemia and insulin resistance than obese children with normal waist circumference, indicating that routine waist circumference evaluation in obese children may help clinicians identify which obese children are at greater risk of diabetes and other cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Season and location influenced TEE in children through their effects on AEE, and body weight may be the best predictor of TEE, while maximal oxygen consumption was the strongest marker of AEE.

TL;DR: Relations between adiposity and insulin were stronger in whites than in African Americans, and African American children had higher insulin concentrations than white children after total body fat, IAAT, and SAAT were controlled for.
