To read the full abstract: Am J Clin Nutr 2018;107:734-742The higher protein contents of cow’s milk based milk formulas (2.2 g/100 kcal) compared to breast milk (1.5 g/100 kcal) have been thought to underlie their faster growth, weight gain and childhood obesity promoting effects. Consequently, there is increasing interest in the benefits of low protein cow’s milk based formulas (1.6-1....

To read the full abstract: PLoS Genet. 2019; 15(1):e1007603.This genome wide association study reveals new insights into the genetic basis of thinness by investigating a large cohort of healthy persistently thin individuals. In the past, it has been speculated that inheritance of thinness may constitute a protective factor against environmental factors disposing to obesity (1). Neverthel...

To read the full abstract: Nat Comm 2019; 10(1): 1718Steroid receptor coactivator (SRC)-1 mediates nuclear hormone receptors and transcription factor-dependent transcription (1), and interacts with STAT3 (2) an important mediator of leptin-induced POMC expression and hence satiety (3). Src-1 knockout mice are obese (4), however, the underlying mechanism is unclear. In a...
