Hepatology; a medical journal dedicated to the study of liver, published a fresh research studying its March issue, revealing close link between ethnicity, fatty liver disease and insulin resistance. This study was conducted at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, headed by Jeffrey Browning.

Research was aimed at finding out the relation between ethnicity and two well-known ailments; fatty liver disease and insulin resistance. USA is suffering from a wide spread fatty liver disease these days.

Insulin is a hormone secreted by Pancreas and is responsible for regulation of glucose metabolism. Insulin resistance is a condition where body cells are unable to respond to insulin properly.

Elevating the level of oxyntomodulin (a naturally occurring 37 amino acid peptide hormone found in the colon) confines appetite and raises activity levels simultaneously, results in rapid but healthy weight loss rates, a study suggests. The hormone sends impulse to our brain that we have taken our meal to full, but the obese people have lesser amount of it.

The fact, dieting have a tendency to cause reduction in activity which often makes weight loss harder but best diet pills act as appetite suppressors. Oxyntomodulin is naturally occurring hormone in the body that is why; it’s an advantage as it has least chances for any unpleasant side-effects. It’s unlike of those nasty drugs obese people are forced to use for many years. As this hormone is already present in human body, scientists are using the body’s own mechanism to limit appetite.

Scientist has discovered an antibody that breaks down and suppresses an appetite stimulant that is produced by the human body.

Researchers from the Scripps Research Institute told that the antibody catalyst, GHT-11E11 became the cause to increase the metabolic rate in fasting mice and restricted their eating after 24 hours without food.

A gastric hormone gherlin, which promotes weight gain and fat storage through metabolic actions, is counteracted by the antibody. The substance is released by the body to boost eating during calorie restriction.
