          Study Casts Doubt on Causal Link Between Cognitive Ability and Obesity

          The associations between cognitive ability and body mass index (BMI) may largely reflect confounding by other factors related to family background. The study suggests that previous findings on the link between cognitive ability and BMI may be biased by shared family factors, rather than being causal.

          Beige Fat Could Hold Key to Age-Related Metabolism Change

          Stimulating the production of white adipose tissue, or beige fat, helps to reverse a slowing metabolism. The findings could help ward off age-related weight gain and prevent metabolism disorders.

          Novel Drug Makes Mice Skinny Even on Sugary, Fatty Diet

          Researchers have developed a new molecule that limits magnesium transport in mitochondria. The drug prevents weight gain and liver damage in mice who were fed a high-sugar, Western-style diet since birth. After exposure to the molecule, overweight mice started to lose weight.

          Excess Calories During Development May Alter the Brain and Spur Adult Overeating

          Early overnutrition rewires brain development to crave unhealthy food and increases the risk for obesity late in life in children born to mothers who were overweight during pregnancy.

          An Association Between Autism in Children and Cardiometabolic Diseases

          As many as 1 in 44 children are diagnosed with autism, and those with ASD are at greater risk of obesity. Obesity has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes and other cardiometabolic diseases, including dyslipidemia. Researchers say physicians should monitor children with ASD for signs of cardiometabolic disorders.

          Sugar Is Processed Differently in the Brains of Obesity-Prone vs. Obesity-Resistant Rats

          Glucose takes longer to get into the nucleus accumbens of obesity-prone rat models. Researchers also discovered excess levels of glutamate in obesity-prone rats, implying a deficiency in the neurotransmitter recycling process normally maintained by astrocytes.

          Why a High-Fat Diet Could Reduce the Brain’s Ability to Regulate Food Intake

          Study reports in the short term, astrocytes regulate caloric intake by controlling the signaling pathway between the gut and brain. Eating high-fat or high-calorie diets disrupts this pathway.
