To read the full abstract: Nature Communications 2018;9:1544Obesity prevalence is generally higher in women than in men, and there is also a sex difference in body fat distribution. Sex differences in obesity can be explained in part by the influence of gonadal steroids on body composition and appetite; however, behavioural, and socio-cultural factors may also play a role. Here is th...

To read the full abstract: Diabetes Care. 2018;41:311-317Some researchers assume that the etiology of T1DM is distinct from that of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. T1DM is characterized by autoimmune phenomena leading to the destruction of pancreatic islets and most importantly of beta-cells. Genetic factors are thought to influence the likelihood of autoimmune phenomena developing into overt autoimmune di...

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...
