Four exciting diabetes and obesity research discoveries
Researchers look for new ways to treat and prevent diabetes and obesity

Chicago (April 22, 2017) - With more than one-third of adults in the U.S.
considered obese, researchers are searching for new ways to treat obesity
and associated health problems such as type 2 diabetes. The Experimental
Biology 2017 meeting (EB 2017) will showcase new insights into the causes
of obesity and research that could inform new strategies for losing
weight.

Mouse Study Suggests New Potential Treatment for Obesity
.
Previous studies have shown weight-loss benefits for avoiding foods high
in the amino acid methionine, such as beans, nuts, beef, turkey, pork,
fish, eggs and dairy. However, following such a restricted diet for a long
time is difficult. Using mice that were obese as a result of a high-fat
diet, University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers found that just five
weeks of methionine deprivation not only led to progressive weight loss
and reduced body fat but also corrected high blood sugar levels. The new
findings reveal that short-term avoidance of methionine might be as
helpful as long-term deprivation and could be a promising treatment for
obesity and related diseases such as type 2 diabetes.

Deyang Yu will present this research at the American Physiological
Society's annual meeting at 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday, April 24, in Hall F
(poster F180 883.22) (abstract).

Fathers' Diet and Physical Activity Influences Offspring Health in Mice
.
Results from a new mouse study suggest that paternal exercise and diet
around the time of conception can affect offspring health. Researchers
from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service
found that, compared with offspring of fathers consuming a normal diet
around the time of conception, offspring of fathers fed a high-fat diet
weighed more and showed increased insulin resistance. However, these
negative health effects were not observed in offspring of fathers who
exercised. For offspring fed a high-fat diet after weaning, paternal
exercise also prevented increases in body weight and fat for 5-month-old
offspring but only when fathers were fed a normal fat diet.

Kate Claycombe will present this research at the American Society for
Nutrition Scientific Sessions and annual meeting at 3-5 p.m. Tuesday,
April 25, in McCormick Place Convention Center Room S103A (abstract).

Maternal Obesity in Mice Has Gender-Specific Effects on Offspring
.
Scientists continue to investigate prenatal exposure to maternal obesity
to better understand how it might increase the offspring's risk for later
obesity. In a new study, researchers from the University of Arkansas for
Medical Sciences and Arkansas Children's Nutrition Center found that
maternal obesity in mice affected male and female offspring in different
ways, and thus may contribute to sex-specific susceptibility to
diet-induced obesity later in life. Prior to conception, female mice
received normal or high-fat diets, and their offspring received normal or
high-fat food after weaning. Overall, male offspring gained more body
weight and showed more fat build-up in the liver than female offspring.
The researchers saw more pronounced sex differences in gut microbial
diversity for mice that consumed a high-fat diet after weaning even though
all the offspring of mothers that consumed a high-fat diet exhibited lower
microbe diversity.

Umesh Wankhade will present this research at the American Society for
Investigative Pathology annual meeting at 8:30-11:30 a.m. Monday, April
24, in Room W179B (abstract).
.
Rat Study Shows Consuming Dairy Might Be as Good as Exercise for Losing
Weight
.
Consuming dairy protein may be as effective as exercising in preventing
further weight gain, according to a new study in a rat model of obesity.
Researchers from the University of Guelph in Canada also found that
exercise training together with dairy protein consumption was more
effective at preventing additional weight gain than either intervention
alone. The researchers say that exercise reduces weight gain by burning
more calories while consuming dairy protein likely reduces the amount of
fat that is absorbed.
.
Sarah Trottier will present this research at the American Physiological
Society's annual meeting at 12:45-3 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, in Hall F, and
10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 25, in Room W192B (abstract).

EB 2017 is the premier annual meeting of six scientific societies to be
held April 22-26 at the McCormick Convention Center in Chicago. Contact
