TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically reviewed studies that monitored compliance to exercise prescriptions and measured exercise-induced change in body composition, and concluded that the small magnitude of weight loss observed from the majority of evaluated exercise interventions is primarily due to low doses of prescribed exercise energy expenditures compounded by a concomitant increase in caloric intake.

TL;DR: Results of the present study suggest that the well known gender difference in visceral adipose tissue accumulation is an important contributing factor involved in the exaggerated postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoprotein response noted in men compared with women.

TL;DR: Genetic factors that predispose to reduced matrix remodeling and to increased inflammation combine to increase susceptibility for intima-media thickening in the carotid bifurcation, a predilection site for atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: A total of 54 new loci have been added to the human obesity gene map in the past 12 months, and the number of genes, markers, and chromosomal regions that have been associated or linked with human obesity phenotypes is now above 250.

TL;DR: The consistent association between the GRL polymorphism detected with BclI and AVF area suggests that this gene or a locus in linkage disequilibrium with the BClI restriction site may contribute to the accumulation of AVF.
