  1. 6. Upper gastrointestinal motility, gut hormones and food intake : a study in normal weight and obese humans

    Författare :Erik Näslund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The regulation of food intake in man is complex and poorly understood. The main aim of the present study was to investigate how a rapid stimulation of the distal small bowel with nutrients influences upper gastrointestinal motility, some gut peptides and food intake in man.

  3. 7. Effects of diet intervention on body composition and ectopic fat accumulation in obese postmenopausal women

    Författare :Caroline Mellberg; Tommy Olsson; Mats Rudling; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obesity; diet intervention; postmenopausal; ectopic fat; medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background Obesity is increasing worldwide and is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality. Notably, abdominal (central) obesity carries a high risk of obesity-related diseases, while peripheral fat accumulation can act in a protective manner. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Weight loss studies in obese patients. Aspects of very-low-energy diet treatment and effects of obesity surgery on disability pension

    Författare :Lena Gripeteg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :obesity; weight loss; outcome; predictive factors; controlled trial; randomised trial; obesity surgery; very-low-energy diet; disability pension; eating behaviour; quality of life;

    Sammanfattning : Obesity is associated with increased risk of serious medical conditions, impaired quality of life, reduced working capacity, and shortened life expectancy. Obesity surgery is the most effective weight loss treatment with large health benefits, including reduced mortality. However, the long-term effects on productivity loss are not known. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Studies on fat cell function in human obesity and insulin resistance

    Författare :Patrik Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Fat cell; lipolysis; lipogenesis; leptin; obesity; perilipin; polymorphism; post-obese; TNF-alpha; weightreduction.;

    Sammanfattning : Enlarged fat cells, due to excess tri-glyceride (TG) stores with increased basal lipolysis (TG breakdown) and blunted action of the major regulatory hormones of fat cell metabolism (catecholamines and insulin) are hallmarks of common obesity in humans. It is, however, not known whether these aberrations are caused by obesity per se or is a consequence of obesity. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Meal patterns and obesity - does snacking play a role?

    Författare :Helene Berteus Forslund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; meal patterns; meal frequency; snacking; snacks; temporal distribution; obesity; weight loss; obesity treatment; adherence; life style changes;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: To describe meal patterns, especially snacking, in obese subjects compared to a reference population and to evaluate the importance of meal frequency in obesity treatment. Methods: Two cross sectional studies; 1. Women from the Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) registry study (n=83) and SOS reference study (n=94); 2. LÄS MER
