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.
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.
FKBP51, a protein linked to depression and anxiety disorders, also acts as a link between the stress response system and metabolic processes.
Genes linked to obesity, energy metabolism, and appetite are also responsible for growth regulation in children, a new study reports.
Ingested non-essential amino acids curb appetite and promote movement in mouse models.
Common epigenetic markers associated with food addiction have been identified.
Taste-related genes may play a significant role in determining personal food and diet choices, and could also have an impact on cardiometabolic health.

Researchers have identified a molecule in the blood that is produced during exercise. The molecule, Lac-Phe, can effectively reduce food intake and obesity in mouse models.
Researchers investigate neural pathways that meet in the brainstem which help control feeding behaviors.
Western diets high in sugars reduce the number of Th17 inflammatory cells in the guts of mice, setting off a chain of events that lead to metabolic diseases, prediabetes, and obesity.
