Genes linked to obesity, energy metabolism, and appetite are also responsible for growth regulation in children, a new study reports.
FKBP51, a protein linked to depression and anxiety disorders, also acts as a link between the stress response system and metabolic processes.
Flavanols enhance the browning of adipose fat by activating the sympathetic nervous system. The findings could have implications for the development of new drugs to help treat obesity.
A new treatment system that focuses on the link between eating and mental health helps people with obesity make healthier decisions when it comes to eating.
Constant hunger associated with Prader-Willi syndrome is, in part, the result of disordered signaling in the cerebellum, an area of the brain associated with motor control and learning.
