Optimizing Metabolic and Physical Health in Obese Older Adults: Impact of Exercise Modalities on Insulin Secretion, CNTF, and IGF-1 During Weight Loss

Combining aerobic and resistance exercise with diet-induced weight loss in obese older adults significantly improves insulin secretion, preserves CNTFRα levels, and increases IGF-1, enhancing metabolic and physical function.

Synergistic Effects of Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise with Diet on Insulin Secretion and Neurotrophic Factors in Older Adults with Obesity

Combining aerobic and resistance exercise with diet-induced weight loss in older adults with obesity significantly improves insulin secretion, metabolic health, and physical function, likely mediated by ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor preservation and increased IGF-1 levels.
Dose-Dependent Enhancement of L-Tryptophan-Induced Gut Hormone Secretion and Appetite Suppression by Intraduodenal Calcium in Obesity

Dose-Dependent Enhancement of L-Tryptophan-Induced Gut Hormone Secretion and Appetite Suppression by Intraduodenal Calcium in Obesity

Intraduodenal calcium at doses up to 1000 mg amplifies the anorexigenic effects of L-tryptophan by boosting gut hormones CCK, GLP-1, and PYY, reducing energy intake in obese males, highlighting a novel adjunctive approach for appetite regulation in obesity management.

Improving Sleep Quality through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Alters Food Preferences in Adults with Overweight and Obesity

Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia enhances self-reported sleep quality and duration, reduces cravings for sweet and savoury foods, and shifts implicit food preferences in adults with overweight or obesity, though dietary intake changes remain uncertain.
