The latest in slimming science

Article Abstract:

Research is presented to explain why Americans are becoming increasingly overweight, with 97 million American adults considered overweight according to National Institutes of Health weight guidelines. The human adenovirus-36 has been linked to obesity, together with the Wnts proteins which regulate fat. Research on the Mc3r brain receptor may explain why people put on weight despite eating moderately, while the fat hormone leptin may ultimately regulate cravings.
