Diabetology & metabolic syndrome

Finucane FM, Sharp SJ, Hatunic M, Sleigh A, De Lucia Rolfe E, Aihie Sayer A, Cooper C, Griffin SJ, Wareham NJ.
PMID: 24669786
Diabetol Metab Syndr. 2014 Mar 26;6(1):43. doi: 10.1186/1758-5996-6-43.

BACKGROUND: There is a well-established association between type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) secondary to excess accumulation of intrahepatic lipid (IHL), but the mechanistic basis for this association is unclear. Emerging evidence suggests that in addition...

Progress identifying the genetic determinants of personality has historically been slow, with candidate gene studies and small-scale genome-wide association studies yielding few reproducible results. In the UK Biobank study, genetic variants in

PMID: 25198238
Nutr Diabetes. 2014 Sep 08;4:e136. doi: 10.1038/nutd.2014.33.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies reporting on the interaction between physical activity and genetic susceptibility on obesity have been cross-sectional and have not considered the potential influences of other lifestyle behaviours. The aim of this study was to examine modification of...

Genetic Regulation of Puberty Timing in Humans.

Neuroendocrinology

Understanding the regulation of puberty timing has relevance to developmental and human biology and to the pathogenesis of various diseases. Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies on puberty timing and adult height, body mass index (BMI) and central body shape...

Intrahepatic Lipid Content and Insulin Resistance Are More Strongly Associated with Impaired NEFA Suppression after Oral Glucose Loading Than with Fasting NEFA Levels in Healthy Older Individuals.

International journal of endocrinology

Finucane FM, Sharp SJ, Hatunic M, Sleigh A, De Lucia Rolfe E, Sayer AA, Cooper C, Griffin SJ, Savage DB, Wareham NJ.

Int J Endocrinol. 2013;2013:870487. doi: 10.1155/2013/870487. Epub 2013 May 02.

Introduction. The mechanisms underlying the association between insulin resistance and intrahepatic lipid (IHL) accumulation are not completely understood. We sought to determine whether this association was explained by differences in fasting non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels and/or NEFA suppression...

Secular Trends on Birth Parameters, Growth, and Pubertal Timing in Girls with Turner Syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Whether children with chromosomal disorders of growth and puberty are affected by secular trends (STs) as observed in the general population remains unanswered, but this question has relevance for expectations of spontaneous development and treatment responses.OBJECTIVES: The aim...

Exploring the genetic correlations of antisocial behaviour and life history traits.

Prior evolutionary theory provided reason to suspect that measures of development and reproduction would be correlated with antisocial behaviours in human and non-human species. Behavioural genetics has revealed that most quantitative traits are heritable, suggesting that these phenotypic correlations...
