Obesity Seems to Degrade Men's Sex Lives
Obese men undergo significant hormonal changes and experience markedly worse sex lives – but stomach-stapling surgery can correct those troubles, a recent small study showed.
“Previous studies have found that obesity is correlated to lower sperm count and can be associated with infertility, but we wanted to know if obesity was biologically associated with an unsatisfying sex life, and if so, could it be reversible,” the study’s lead author, Ahmad Hammoud, of the University of Utah, said in an Endocrine Society news release. “Our results show that the answer to both questions may be yes.” ( Read more about Obesity Seems to Degrade Men's Sex Lives)

Expert Commentary: Daniel Farkas, M.D. FACS 9/24/2009
As disclosure, I'll preface by saying that my hospital is NOT a center of excellence. This has been an area of interest for the last few years. Not just in bariatric surgery, but in all sorts of specialized surgery, for example pancreas surgery. Most studies will show that high volume centers have better outcomes.

Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman M.D. - June 9, 2009
This latest study in Circulation Research reveals some striking new data. You don’t necessarily have to be overweight to develop atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.
The study suggests that danger is the chronic inflammation of the arteries caused by eating fatty foods and is independent of high cholesterol or triglyceride levels. ( Read more about Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman M.D. - June 9, 2009)

Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman M.D. - June 4, 2009
We often hear about the physical causes and effects of obesity, but we rarely hear about the emotional and psychological factors. Today, obesity is no longer diagnosed only during middle age - it's becoming the norm to hear that young people in their 20's are dealing with the disease. Obviously, poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the onset of obesity, but what's going on behind the scenes?
We know that overeating is the main cause of obesity, but few know what leads to this increase in food intake. The answer is simple: stress. Many young people today live a hectic lifestyle full of stress and anxiety. To cope with the constant physical and emotional drain, many people turn to one of life's simplest pleasures: food.

Liver Chemical Crucial in Keeping Blood Fats Low
Dramatic underproduction of a particular liver biochemical seems to be the cause of the pathologically high blood-fat levels associated with type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome in obese mice, a recent study found. Metabolic syndrome is a disorder that places its sufferers at greatly increased risk for cardiovascular disease, and is marked by the intersection of several symptoms, including belly obesity, high blood pressure and high blood fats.
The research, done by Stephan Herzig and his colleagues at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, or DKFZ), was published in the journal Diabetes. ( Read more about Liver Chemical Crucial in Keeping Blood Fats Low)

Expert Commentary: Dr. Elliot Goodman, M.D. - May 28, 2009
Is there an obesity gene? Research demonstrates that there is. In fact there may be several genes that contribute to obesity.
The INSIG2 gene controls insulin. It inhibits the synthesis (manufacturing in the body) of fatty acid and cholesterol. People with a sequence variation near the gene seem less able to inhibit the synthesis of fatty acid and cholesterol. The end result is a tendency to accumulate more body fat. Another culprit gene is a variant version of the FTO gene. People who have this gene tend to eat more to satisfy their appetites. And the children with this gene have a tendency to gain excess fat.
