This study investigates how acute high-intensity exercise affects appetite control in individuals with overweight/obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes, comparing morning vs. late afternoon sessions in a randomized crossover trial.
Weight loss-independent changes in human growth hormone during water-only fasting: a secondary evaluation of a randomized controlled trial - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39991046/
Fasting increased HGH and the HGH changes were independent of weight loss. Basal HGH and fasting-induced HGH changes correlated inversely with cardiometabolic risk factors.Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov, identifier NCT01059760.
A 24-hour water-only fast increased HGH independently of weight loss. Baseline HGH correlated inversely with cardiometabolic risk factors, and individuals with lower baseline HGH showed greater fasting-induced HGH increases and improved insulin resistance.

Future research will undoubtedly discover numerous methylation sites that may be involved in the development of obesity and its comorbidities, especially at a young age. This will contribute to a...
This review explores the epigenetic basis of childhood obesity, highlighting methylation risk scores' potential for predicting obesity-related diseases, though clinical implementation remains challenging despite promising research advancements.
Neutrophils as indicators of obesity-associated inflammation: A systematic review and meta-analysis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39610288/
Overall, this meta-analysis demonstrates that ANC is a more reliable and stable parameter than NLR for the assessment of obesity-related inflammation, which offers clinicians a novel tool to assist in...
This meta-analysis finds absolute neutrophil count (ANC) to be a more reliable marker than neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for obesity-related inflammation, showing stronger correlation with BMI and less variability across studies.
