TLDR
Factors other than changes in caloric consumption and metabolic rate may be responsible for a significant proportion (31%) of the weight gained in individuals who quit smoking.

Consequences of smoking for body weight, body fat distribution, and insulin resistance

TL;DR: Evaluating the relations among smoking, body weight, body fat distribution, and insulin resistance found that nicotine increases energy expenditure and could reduce appetite may explain why smokers tend to have lower body weight than do nonsmokers and why smoking cessation is frequently followed by weight gain.

Smoking, body weight, and their effects on smoking behavior: a comprehensive review of the literature

TL;DR: It is concluded that smoking and body weight relationships are closely related and pose significant challenges for smoking researchers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smoking cessation and weight gain.

TL;DR: Current information of the effects of nicotine on peptides involved in feeding behaviour is summarized and nicotine replacement – in particular nicotine gum – appears to be effective in delaying post‐cessation weight gain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The influence of smoking cessation on the prevalence of overweight in the United States.

TL;DR: Smokers who had quit within the past 10 years were significantly more likely than respondents who had never smoked to become overweight, and smoking cessation may be associated with a small increase in the prevalence of overweight.

Norepinephrine and Epinephrine Release and Adrenergic Mediation of Smoking-Associated Hemodynamic and Metabolic Events

TL;DR: Since significant smoking-associated increments, in pulse rate, blood pressure and blood lactate/pyruvate ratio, preceded measurable increments in plasma catecholamine concentrations, but were adrenergically mediated, these changes should be attributed to norepinephrine released locally from adrenergic axon terminals within the tissues rather than to increments in circulating catechlamines.

A colorimetric method for estimating serum triglycerides

TL;DR: The glycerol released by saponification of the serum glycerides is oxidized to formaldehyde which reacts with acetylacetone to form a yellow dihydrolutidine derivative absorbing at 405 mμ, correlates well with those given by the ZilversmitVan Handel method.

Energy balance and obesity in man

J.S. Garrow
TL;DR: Most good biomedical monographs today are closely-knit, logically organized analyses of the most recent, data in a specific field, but such a compendium, seemingly eternal, or at least indestructible, can be turned to dust overnight by a few new data.
