Breastfeeding duration is associated with higher adiposity at 6-8 months of age.

Breastfeeding (BF) has been identified as a protective factor against childhood obesity. However, evidence of the association between BF duration and adiposity remains inconclusive. Few studies have been conducted among Southeast Asian infants that have measured body composition during infancy using the gold standard stable isotope method.

Morphological alteration of the pancreatic islet in ovariectomized rats fed a high-fat high-fructose diet.

Diabetes and its complications are major causes of mortality worldwide. Type 2 diabetes coexists with insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction, which are aggravated by overconsumption and estrogen-deprived conditions. However, the morphology of pancreatic islets in a combined condition of excessive caloric intake and estrogen deficiency has never been described.
