It looks like this past week mostly the Finnish and Japanese were active in publishing research. Intriguing ideas on how to figure out a way to prevent or treat obesity, those into Judo might also find the research on the throw of interest and fat consumption was also on the table again. Here are the highlights:
Researchers discover connection between brain’s opioid system and eating behaviorBrain regulation of feeding behavior traits has remained incompletely understood. In a new study, researchers discovered a connection between the function of the opioid system and food craving triggered by appetitive external stimuli.

This work may assist in developing supervised or self-guided training routines.

One hundred and five adults with overweight and obesity participated in a randomized controlled trial that provided one meal a day for 12 weeks. Women who consumed avocado as part of their daily meal had a reduction in deeper visceral abdominal fat.

Source: The Physiological Society Potential indicator for obesity risk detected during sleepResearchers have shown that people with inflexible metabolisms burn less fat at night than those with flexible metabolism. The team measured the respiratory quotient throughout the night and found that despite equal ages, BMIs, and amount of fat, people with inflexible metabolisms burned more carbohydrates and less fat than did people with flexible metabolisms. The higher sleep-time quotient could be a previously unknown indicator for the risk of future metabolic disease.
