Obesity is a disorder in which fat cells grow larger and accumulate. Certain proteins, called WNT family proteins, function to prevent fat cell formation. However, the activity of WNT proteins can be inhibited by secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRPs), thus leading to fat cell generation. One of these SFRPs, SFRP5, is highly expressed during fat cell gen [?]
Nuffield Health, the UK's largest health charity, published an article today showing that women with larger waist sizes are at great risk of cancer, including breast cancer. They also have increased chance of infertility. The data was compiled from nearly 55,000 women taking the Nuffield 'Health MOT', a series of tests that takes about an hour [?]
