Journal ArticleDOI

The short-chain fatty acid acetate reduces appetite via a central homeostatic mechanism

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through 13C high-resolution magic-angle-spinning that 13C acetate from fermentation of 13C-labelled carbohydrate in the colon increases hypothalamic 13Cacetate above baseline levels, suggesting that acetate has a direct role in central appetite regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical role for peptide YY in protein-mediated satiation and body-weight regulation

TL;DR: It is suggested that modulating the release of endogenous satiety factors, such as PYY, through alteration of specific diet constituents could provide a rational therapy for obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human gene for physical performance

TL;DR: It is shown that a polymorphism in the gene encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme is associated with elite endurance performance among high-altitude mountaineers and after physical training, repetitive weight-lifting is improved eleven-fold in individuals homozygous for the ‘insertion’ allele.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Metabolic Syndrome Resulting From Dominant-Negative Mutations in the Nuclear Receptor Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ

TL;DR: The results of further detailed pathophysiological evaluation of patients with dominant-negative mutations in PPAR-gamma, the identification of affected prepubertal children within one of the original families, and the effects of thiazolidinedione therapy in two subjects are reported.
