Obesity--the inevitable penalty of civilisation?
CB2 2DH, UK The modern inhabitants of 17th century cottages are reminded of the way in which the human form has changed every time they hit their head on a beam or stoop to pass through a doorway. The secular changes in the height of the Japanese over the past 50 years are an accelerated version of the same phenomenon. These are changes that we accept as being permanent and natural. We talk of ...
متن کاملThe evolutionary origin of the need to sleep: an inevitable consequence of synaptic neurotransmission?
It is proposed that the evolutionary origin of the need to sleep is the removal of neurotransmitters (NTs) that escape reuptake and accumulate in brain interstitial fluid (ISF). Recent work suggests that the activity of ionotropic postsynaptic receptors, rapidly initiated by binding of NTs to extracellular sites, is modulated over longer times by adsorption of these NTs to the lipid bilayers in...
متن کاملAn Underreported Consequence of Obesity in Pregnancy: Patient-Prosthesis Mismatch
As the rate of obesity increases in childbearing-aged women, so too will the complications of obesity in pregnancy. An uncommon and likely underreported complication occurs in obese women who have received prepregnancy cardiac valve replacement with a prosthesis that is inadequately sized for body habitus, a condition referred to as patient-prosthesis mismatch (PPM). The physiologic changes of ...

متن کاملElevated leptin: consequence or cause of obesity?
Leptin is an adipocyte-derived, satiety-regulating hormone that acts within the hypothalamus and other brain sites. Obese humans and animals are largely resistant to central actions of leptin. Rising leptin levels associated with progressing obesity are generally regarded as simply a consequence rather than a causative factor in the leptin resistance and obesity. Several lines of evidence sugge...
