AGA Backs Device for Managing Obesity

email article With obesity affecting 40% of the U.S. population, the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) has released new recommendations on the therapeutic role of intragastric balloons (IGBs). These devices have been associated with significant improvements in weight loss over and above non-invasive standard of care (SOC) approaches. There is a vast area of unmet need with respect to weight-loss interventions, as only 1.1% of eligible patients with obesity are receiving primary bariatric surgery, wrote an expert panel led by Thiruvengadam Muniraj, MD, MRCP, of Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. For those for whom traditional weight loss strategies fail, IGBs have been seen to yield greater weight loss, improve metabolic laboratory abnormalities, and positively change the trajectory of several obesity-related comorbidities, the panel noted in the new clinical practice guideline online in

Leptin puts the brakes on eating via novel neurocircuit

 E-Mail Credit: Elsevier, 2021 Philadelphia, April 6, 2021 - Since the discovery of leptin in the 1990s, researchers have wondered, how does leptin, a hormone made by body fat, suppress appetite? Despite tremendous gains in the intervening three decades, many questions still remain. Now, a new study in mice describes novel neurocircuitry between midbrain structures that control feeding behaviors that are under modulatory control by leptin. The study appears in John Krystal, MD, Editor of Biological Psychiatry, said of the findings, Omrani and colleagues shed light on how, in non-obese animals, leptin puts the brakes on overeating. Leptin acts as a critical link between the body and the brain, providing information about metabolic state and exerting control over energy balance. The importance of leptin is illustrated by the finding that animals deficient for leptin rapidly become obese without its regulatory stop on feeding behavior.
