The pathogenesis of obesity from a genomic and systems biology perspective.

The Yale journal of biology and medicine

Levian C, Ruiz E, Yang X.
PMID: 24910557
Yale J Biol Med. 2014 Jun 06;87(2):113-26. eCollection 2014 Jun.

The recent obesity epidemic has imposed significant health, economical, and societal concerns. However, effective preventive and therapeutic strategies are currently lacking, primarily due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms. Recent genome-wide scans of genetic...

Contemplative Practices: A Strategy to Improve Health and Reduce Disparities.

Central obesity, measured by waist circumference (WC) or waist-hip ratio (WHR), is a marker of body fat distribution. Although obesity disproportionately affects minority populations, few studies have conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) of fat distribution among those of predominantly...

Case Study of an Unsustainable Community-Academic Partnership: Toward Core Standards for the Structure of Emerging Participatory Research.

Ethnicity & disease

Calderón JL, Norris KC, Hardigan PC, Calderón LA, Hays RD.
