RoleofPPARgammaCoactivatorsinObesityandThermogenesis

Nuclear hormone receptors are transcription factors that bind DNA and regulate transcription in a ligand-dependent manner. PPAR-gamma is a member of this gene family that is activated by fatty acids and thiazolidinedione drugs that plays a role in insulin sensitivity and adipogenesis (See Visceral Fat Deposits and the Metabolic Syndrome pathway). Like PPAR-alpha and other members of this gene family, PPAR-gamma activ......阅读全文

Obesity:吃货更瘦?!是真的吗?

  试想一下你是一个资深吃货,即一个爱冒险的食客,这常常和个人嗜好吃美食且过量吃东西密切相关;然而近日,一项来自康奈尔大学食品研究实验室的最新研究表明,我们往往会认为资深吃货应该是比较肥胖且体重较重的个体,然而实际上恰恰相反,资深吃货往往体重较轻,而且相比并不爱冒险饮食的食客他们更加健康一些。  相
