Effects of excessive energy intake from fructose- vs. high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)- vs. glucose-sweetened beverages on fasting plasma IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations
Epidemiological studies indicate that added sugar consumption and plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) are associated with increased cancer risk, particularly for breast and colorectal cancers, but data are less clear for many other cancers (references). Insulin, which stimulates the production and release of IGF-1, is released post-prandially after glucose consumption, but not after...Association Between Soda Consumption and Body Mass Index in the University of Washington Twin Registry
Obesity is of major public health concern due to its association with many chronic diseases and its history of increased prevalence.

Demographic, Physical, and Behavioral Characteristics Associated with TV Parenting Practices Among Latino Parents of Preschool-Aged Children
Latino children are disproportionately affected by obesity. Television (TV) viewing is linked with childhood obesity, decreased physical activity levels, and increased sedentary time. Valkenburg’s TV Parenting Practices (TVPP) scale characterizes parental mediation of children’s TV viewing. This study assesses what social, cultural, and demographic variables are associated with TVPP in a population of Latino parents...Diesel Exhaust Exposure and N-acetyl-cysteine Supplementation In-utero and Atherosclerotic Lesion Progression
Ambient air pollution exposures have consistently been found to be positively associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Fine particle air pollution (PM2.5), largely derived from diesel exhaust (DE) emissions, have been emphasized as having the most significant effect on cardiovascular health. PM2.5 exposure during pregnancy can have deleterious effects on fetal development, decrease birth weight, and...Previous page Next page
