Obesity has been linked to numerous health conditions, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and strokes. Identifying neural processes underpinning excessive eating and obesity could ...
A combined team of diabetes specialists from Eberhard Karls University Tübingen and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, both in Germany, has found evidence that suggests brain sensitivity to insulin may be modulated by ...
Researchers from the University of Salerno, Italy, have found that a simple blood test for tTG-IgA concentrations could be used as a diagnostic threshold in predicting duodenal villous atrophy, a hallmark of celiac disease.
Researchers at the University of Sydney, Australia, have conducted a metadata analysis on vegetarian diets' effect on people at high risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). They found that the vegetarian diet was associated ...

In the physical sciences, the weight of an object is the magnitude, W, of the force that must be applied to an object in order to support it (i.e. hold it at rest) in a gravitational field. The weight of an object equals the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the object, less the effect of its buoyancy in any fluid in which it might be immersed. Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately constant; this means that an object's weight near the surface of the Earth is roughly proportional to its mass.
