Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between baseline insulin sensitivity (S) and changes in total lean mass (LM) and appendicular LM (ALM) during a diet-induced weight loss program with or without exercise.
Methods: We conducted a secondary data analysis from a controlled weight loss study in premenopausal women with overweight aged 21-41. Women were randomized into three groups: diet-only, diet plus aerobic exercise, or diet plus resistance exercise. Body composition was assessed using dual-absorptiometry X-ray and S using an intravenous glucose tolerance test. Multiple linear regression was used to determine if baseline S was predictive of changes in total LM and ALM.
Results: There were significant group-S interactions on changes in total LM (β = 0.474, p = 0.003, adjusted r = 0.371) and ALM (β = 0 0.462, p = 0.009, adjusted r = 0.231) after adjusting for covariates, indicating that greater baseline S was associated with less LM loss only in women who did not exercise.
Conclusions: Higher baseline S is associated with greater retention of LM when weight loss is induced with diet alone, but not when exercise (aerobic or resistance) is included. This reinforces the importance of including exercise in all weight loss interventions.

Bariatric endoscopy is an increasingly recognized alternative to surgery for obesity treatment. Recent guidelines from leading medical societies (IFSO, ASMBS, ASGE, ESGE) have included endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and the intragastric balloon (IGB) in their recommendations. These procedures are indicated for patients with a body mass index (BMI) between 27 and 40 kg/m² who cannot or do not wish to undergo surgery.

Background: Cancer promotes muscle wasting through an imbalance in the tightly regulated protein synthesis and degradation processes. An array of intracellular signalling pathways, including mTORC1 and AMPK, regulate protein synthesis, and these pathways are responsive to the muscle's microenvironment and systemic stimuli. Although feeding and fasting are established systemic regulators of muscle mTORC1 and protein synthesis, the cancer environment's impact on these responses during cachexia development is poorly understood.

Objective: This secondary analysis was conducted to compare the magnitude of adaptive thermogenesis (AT) following hypocaloric low-carbohydrate (CHO) versus low-fat diets in African American (AA) women.
Methods: Sixty-nine AA women with obesity were randomized to low-CHO or low-fat hypocaloric diets for 10 weeks, followed by a 4-week weight stabilization period (all food provided). At baseline and Week 13, insulin sensitivity (S) was measured by intravenous glucose tolerance test, body composition by bioimpedance analysis, total energy expenditure (EE) (TEE) by doubly labeled water, and resting EE (REE) by indirect calorimetry.

Background: Preoperative treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) before bariatric surgery has not been studied. Therefore, we investigated the impact of neoadjuvant treatment with GLP-1 RAs on weight loss and postoperative outcomes in patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy for severe obesity.
Method: A retrospective single-center study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2023.

Background: We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of using additional obesity management medications (OMMs) within the first year after undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 246 patients who underwent primary LSG in our institution and were followed up for at least 12 months. We collected body weights preoperatively and at three, six, 12, and 24 months postoperatively, along with body composition and laboratory results preoperatively and at 12 months.
