    Inhibition of erythropoietin signalling destroys xenografts of ovarian and uterine cancers in nude mice

    We have recently shown that malignant tumours from the ovary and uterus expressed erythropoietin (Epo) and its receptor (EpoR), and that deprivation of Epo signal in tumour blocks induced death of malignant ce...

    Clinical implications of leptin and its potential humoral regulators in long-term low-calorie diet therapy for obese humans

    Objective: To address the clinical implications of leptin and to re-examine the relationship between leptin and its potential humoral regulators such as insulin, nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and triiodothyron...

    Indirect lifestyle intervention through wives improves metabolic syndrome components in men

    It is well known that body weight loss through a direct (supervised) lifestyle intervention (LSI) improves obesity-related metabolic disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an in...

    An increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol after weight loss intervention is associated with long-term maintenance of reduced visceral abdominal fat

    It is generally agreed that excess abdominal fat, in particular visceral abdominal fat (VAF), is related to an increased risk for obesity-related complications. We examined the association between metabolic ri...

    Multiple-slice magnetic resonance imaging can detect visceral adipose tissue reduction more accurately than single-slice imaging

    Imaging methods by magnetic resonance imaging are being increasingly used to quantify visceral adipose tissue (VAT), but there is no clear consensus as to a standardized protocol. We compared the ability of tw...
