IntroductionAltered levels of hormonal appetite regulators have been observed in obesity (BMI ≥ 30.0 kg/m2), most prominently increases of insulin and leptin (indicating resistance) as well as decreases of adiponectin–all of which are long-term energy regulators and adiposity signals. Disrupted signaling of these hormones may have detrimental effects on metabolism, but may also promote weight gain. Weight loss is often accompanied ...

BackgroundLong-term glucocorticoids, as measured in scalp hair (HairGC), are associated with obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS). It is not known whether this represents a state of obesity or whether chronic hypercortisolism may influence the course or reversibility of obesity. In this study we longitudinally examine the relation between HairGC concentrations and metabolic syndrome parameters in patients with obesity who participate in a 1.5 year i...
