Background: Eating behavior is influenced by genetics and environment, and is associated with many obesity related conditions.
Objective: We assessed the relationship between self-reported disinhibition scores and insulin resistance assessed during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Design: The study included 779 volunteers from the Amish Family Diabetes Study; 77 with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, 133 with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and 569 with Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT). All patients with IGT and NGT completed oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), and had insulin levels measured during the OGTT. Volunteers completed the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire to quantify self-perceived disinhibition.
Conclusions: Higher disinhibition scores are associated with higher fasting insulin levels and insulin area under the curve during an OGTT. These results suggest a highly significant, positive correlation between the eating behavior disinhibition and insulin insensitivity. Treatments aimed at modifying eating behavior may be helpful in mitigating insulin resistance.

Background: In the last three decades, the increasing trend in female employment in Bangladesh has been critically analyzed from a socioeconomic point of view; however, its impact on infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices has yet to be systematically reviewed. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to investigate the association between these variables.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, and Google Scholar to retrieve relevant records with no restriction of publication period.

Background: Timely initiation of and exclusive breastfeeding have been recommended as key interventions to enable countries to attain the sustainable development target of reducing neonatal mortality to no more than 12 deaths per 1000 live births and to reduce mortality of children under 5 years to no more than 25 deaths per 1000 live births.
Methods: We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial with the main objective to assess the effect of an integrated package consisting of: peer counseling, mobile phone messages, and mama kits on promoting health facility births between January 2018 and February 2019, in Lira district, Northern Uganda. In this article, we assessed the effect of the intervention on our two secondary objectives: timely initiation of and exclusivity of breastfeeding.

Background: The misalignment of sleeping times during weekdays/weekends (i.e., social jetlag) is particularly common among adolescents and plausibly associated with their physical fitness.

The Spodoptera genus is defined as the pest-rich genus because it contains some of the most destructive lepidopteran crop pests, characterized by a wide host range. During feeding, the caterpillars release small amounts of oral secretion (OS) onto the wounded leaves. This secretion contains herbivore-induced molecular patterns (HAMPs) that activate the plant defense response, as well as effectors that may inhibit or diminish the plant's anti-herbivory response.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) represents an eating disorder, which features the highest rate of mortality among all psychiatric disorders. The disease prevalence is increasing steadily, and an effective cure is missing. The neurobiology of the disease is largely unknown, and only a few studies were designed to disclose specific brain areas, where altered neural transmission may occur.
