Obesity

Information about Obesity: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Obesity

Most recent studies have shown that Obesity shares some biological mechanisms with cardiovascular-diseases, coronary-heart-disease, diabetes-mellitus, diabetes-mellitus-non-insulin-dependent, dyslipidemias, heart-diseases, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinism, hyperlipidemia, hypertensive-disease, inflammation, insulin-resistance, insulin-sensitivity, malignant-neoplasms, metabolic-syndrome-x, obesity-abdominal, obesity-morbid, pediatric-obesity.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Obesity, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Cell Proliferation, Coagulation, Eating Behavior, Energy Homeostasis, Excretion, Fatty Acid Oxidation, Feeding Behavior, Glomerular Filtration, Glucose Homeostasis, Glucose Transport, Inflammatory Response, Insulin Secretion, Lactation, Localization, Menarche, Menopause, Pathogenesis, Secretion, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Obesity, such as ADIPOQ, CRP, CSRP1, GH1, IGF1, IL6, INS, INSR, LEP, LEPR, LPL, NPY, POMC, PPARG, RETN, SLC17A5, TG, TNF. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
