A randomized trial to manipulate the quality instead of quantity of dietary proteins to influence the markers of satiety.

Aims: To test whether a breakfast including eggs (EB) containing high-quality protein decreases subsequent food intake and increases satiety-related hormones in overweight or obese adults more than a breakfast including cereal (CB) of lower protein quality, but matched for energy density and macronutrient composition.

Methods: Twenty healthy overweight or obese subjects were randomized to eat an EB or a CB daily under supervision for one week, followed by a crossover to the opposite breakfast week after a two-week washout period. On days 1 and 7 of each test week, a structured lunch was provided ad libitum.

Racial differences in weight loss, payment method, and complications following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

Objectives: Obesity affects approximately one-third of the US adult population. Although more black adults are considered to be obese compared to white adults, black adults are less likely to undergo bariatric surgery for weight loss. Black adults typically lose less weight and are more prone to adverse events following bariatric surgery than white adults.

Early resolution of type 2 diabetes seen after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and vertical sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) accounts for the majority of diagnosed cases of diabetes in adults in the United States. Many of these individuals are also morbidly obese and choose to undergo bariatric surgery to lose weight and gain glycemic control. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has been shown to resolve diabetes before substantial weight loss occurs.
