Rimonabant, the weight-loss compound they developed, is the first drug that manipulates the endocannabinoid system, a network of cells in the brain, the liver and fat tissue that regulates hunger by linking appetite to the body's reward and satisfaction system. Rimonabant reduces food cravings by deactivating the cannabinoid receptors. The drug, to be marketed as Acomplia, is being reviewed by the FDA and will be targeted at those who not only carry excess weight but also harbor unhealthy signs of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and hypertension. In half a dozen clinical trials, the compound helped...
...only modest, if any, protection. I believe that supplemental vitamin D is more important than supplemental calcium. If you are getting enough vitamin D, particularly in early life, you should absorb calcium from foods efficiently. What is enough? I recommend at least 1,000 IUs daily taken with a fat-containing meal. (Women in the WHI study took only 400 IUs of the vitamin with their calcium pills.) If you do take calcium pills, the citrate form is best but still not as good as calcium in foods...
...despite his defeat in the elections. Eventually the gunmen backed off. In its last days in power, Fatah placed dozens more militiamen in key security jobs. It isn't just loss of power that irks. According to Hamas officials involved with the investigations, the Islamic group has been compiling fat files on corrupt Fatah officials, intending to prosecute them soon. One Hamas web site shows a document detailing the sale to a Fatah official of an armor-plated...
...formula that combined height and weight. A high BMI meant that you were carrying too much body mass for your height, putting you at risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or stroke. The problem, as physicians quickly found out, was that body mass includes not just excess body fat but muscle as well. So fit people with dense muscle mass would consistently register as overweight and unhealthy. That led Dr. Jean-Pierre Despres, of Laval University in Quebec, to champion another measure for metabolic health: waist circumference. In a series of recent studies, researchers found that a larger waist...
Despite the modifications, NASCAR race cars will remain what they are at heart: hand-built, exquisitely tuned, 850-h.p. machines--concert grands on fat tires. And the Car of Tomorrow will pay homage to the kind of deft driving that launched the sport 58 years ago and has made it the hot sports property it is today. That's because by downplaying the aerodynamics, the design will reward racers like Stewart and Jeff Gordon, who are known for their racing skills. "It will take the sport back to where we were 10 or 12 years ago when we saw more...
