Background: Familial resemblance was shown for body composition and risk factors in several studies. In twin studies which are powerful tool to assess genetically mediated traits significant resemblance was found in twins reared apart. In pairs of monozygotic twins was found significant resemblance in response to positive and negative energy balance. Aim of the study was to evaluate relationship of anthropometric parameters of parents and socioeconomic characteristics of famil...

Aims: Elevated levels of neurotensin (NT), a neurotransmitter and postprandial secreted intestinal hormone, are associated with an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and breast cancer. Here we studied the regulation of circulating pro-NT (a stable NT precursor fragment) by weight loss and dietary interventions.Methods: DiOGenes is a pan-European controlled dietary intervention study in overweight adults who first lost body weight on an 8-...
