Carlsson,Wieland Kiess,Vincent Vatin,Cécile Lecoeur,Jérôme Delplanque,Emmanuel Vaillant,François Pattou,Juan Ruiz,Jacques Weill,Claire Levy-Marchal,Fritz F.

TL;DR: It is concluded that FTO contributes to human obesity and hence may be a target for subsequent functional analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nampt/PBEF/visfatin regulates insulin secretion in β cells as a systemic NAD biosynthetic enzyme
Javier R. Revollo,Antje Körner,Kathryn F. Mills,Akiko Satoh,Tao Wang,Antje Garten,Biplab Dasgupta,Yo Sasaki,Cynthia Wolberger,Raymond R. Townsend,Jeffrey Milbrandt,Wieland Kiess,Shin-ichiro Imai +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that eNampt does not exert insulin-mimetic effects in vitro or in vivo but rather exhibits robust NAD biosynthetic activity, suggesting a vital framework for the regulation of glucose homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Gene-based analyses identified further biologically plausible loci, suggesting that additional loci beyond those reaching genome-wide significance are likely to represent real associations and further functional analysis of these newly discovered loci will further improve the understanding of glycemic control.

Plasma Leptin Levels in Healthy Children and Adolescents: Dependence on Body Mass Index, Body Fat Mass, Gender, Pubertal Stage, and Testosterone

TL;DR: In this paper, a specific and sensitive RIA was developed that allowed the accurate measurement of low leptin levels in young lean children, and leptin proved to be a comparatively stable protein under common conditions of blood sampling and storage.

TL;DR: In addition to FTO and MC4R, genome-wide association data from 1,380 Europeans with early-onset and morbid adult obesity and 1,416 age-matched normal-weight controls detected significant association of obesity with three new risk loci in NPC1, near MAF and near PTER.
