Changes in Energy Expenditure Resulting from Altered Body Weight
TL;DR: Maintenance of a reduced or elevated body weight is associated with compensatory changes in energy expenditure, which oppose the maintenance of a body weight that is different from the usual weight, which may account for the poor long-term efficacy of treatments for obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for the determination of adipose cell size in man and animals
Jules Hirsch,E. Gallian +1 more
TL;DR: Four methods for the sizing of adipose cells in small samples of human or animal adipose tissue are compared and the use of the Coulter counter to count cells in a suspension derived from a known amount of tissue and subjected to osmium tetroxide fixation is recommended.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of gender, body composition, and menopause on plasma concentrations of leptin.
Michael Rosenbaum,M Nicolson,Jules Hirsch,Steven B. Heymsfield,Dympna Gallagher,Florence Chu,Rudolph L. Leibel +6 more
TL;DR: While plasma [leptin], corrected for FM, declines significantly in women post-menopause, this decline is not sufficient to account for the striking sexual dimorphism in the relationship of leptin to fat mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of adipose cell size and adipose tissue insulin sensitivity in the carbohydrate intolerance of human obesity.
TL;DR: In this article, the insulin sensitivity of isolated human adipose tissue was studied as a function of adipose cell size and number, and it was shown that the larger the number of cells, the less insulin sensitive the tissue was.
