White adipose tissue distribution and amount are associated with increased white matter connectivity

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Elda Fischi Gomez, Gabriel Girard, Philipp Johannes Koch, Liana Okudzhava

Obesity represents a significant public health concern and is linked to various comorbidities and cognitive impairments. Previous research indicates that elevated body mass index (BMI) is associated with structural changes in white matter (WM). However, a ...

Gene-by-environment modulation of lifespan and weight gain in the murine BXD family

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Pooja Jha

How lifespan and body weight vary as a function of diet and genetic differences is not well understood. Here we quantify the impact of differences in diet on lifespan in a genetically diverse family of female mice, split into matched isogenic cohorts fed a ...

Impact of Genetic and Nongenetic Factors on Body Mass Index and Waist-Hip Ratio Change in HIV-Infected Individuals Initiating Antiretroviral Therapy

Thierry Buclin, Monia Guidi, Jacques Fellay, Christian Hammer, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball

Objective. There is limited data on abdominal obesity and the influence of genetics on weight change after ant iretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. We assessed body mass index (BMI) and waist hip ration (WHR) change over time in the Swiss HIV Cohort study ...

Growth differentiation factor 15 protects against the aging-mediated systemic inflammatory response in humans and mice

Johan Auwerx, Dongryeol Ryu, Jun Yong Kim, Ludger Jan Elzuë Goeminne

Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging-mediated inflammatory responses, leading to metabolic deterioration, development of insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is an important mitokine generated in r ...

Compound 18 Improves Glucose Tolerance in a Hepatocyte TGR5-dependent Manner in Mice

Kristina Schoonjans, Adriano Maida

The bile acid receptor, TGR5, is a key regulator of glucose homeostasis, but the mechanisms by which TGR5 signaling improves glucose regulation are incompletely defined. In particular, TGR5 has an increasingly appreciated role in liver physiology and patho ...

Inconsistent relationship between body weight/body mass index prior to total knee arthroplasty and the 12-year survival

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Background: The primary hypothesis was that body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) significantly impact the long-term survival rate after implantation of a mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ...

Genome-wide gene-based analyses of weight loss interventions identify a potential role for NKX6.3 in metabolism

Patrick Descombes, Hélène Ruffieux, Jörg Hager, Nele Gheldof, Sylviane Métairon

Hundreds of genetic variants have been associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using observational cohorts. However, the genetic contribution to efficient weight loss in response to dietary intervention remains ...

Gender medicine and oncology: report and consensus of an ESMO workshop

Jacques Fellay

Background: The importance of sex and gender as modulators of disease biology and treatment outcomes is well known in other disciplines of medicine, such as cardiology, but remains an undervalued issue in oncology. Considering the increasing evidence for t ...

Assessing body image in anorexia nervosa using biometric self-avatars in virtual reality: Attitudinal components rather than visual body size estimation are distorted

Stephan Streuber

Background. Body image disturbance (BID) is a core symptom of anorexia nervosa (AN), but as yet distinctive features of BID are unknown. The present study aimed at disentangling perceptual and attitudinal components of BID in AN. ...

Persistent spatial clusters of high body mass index in a Swiss urban population as revealed by the 5-year GeoCoLaus longitudinal study

Joël Chételat, Stéphane Joost, Solange Catherine Gaillard, Fred Michel Paccaud, Murielle Bochud, Idris Guessous

OBJECTIVE Body mass index (BMI) may cluster in space among adults and be spatially dependent. Whether and how BMI clusters evolve over time in a population is currently unknown. We aimed to determine the spatial dependence of BMI and its 5-year evolution i ...

Association of PCK1 with Body Mass Index and Other Metabolic Features in Patients With Psychotropic Treatments

Pierre Magistretti, Aurélie Delacrétaz

Weight gain is a major health problem among psychiatric populations. It implicates several receptors and hormones involved in energy balance and metabolism. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 is a rate-controlling enzyme involved in gluconeogenesis, glyce ...

The role of leptin, melanocortin, and neurotrophin system genes on body weight in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa

Pierre Magistretti, Kai Wang

Objective: Although low weight is a key factor contributing to the high mortality in anorexia nervosa (AN), it is unclear how AN patients sustain low weight compared with bulimia nervosa (BN) patients with similar psychopathology. Studies of genes involved ...
