AI Article Synopsis

  • The rising rate of obesity poses a significant global health threat, but current interventions lack long-term effectiveness.
  • Identifying therapeutic targets is crucial for effective obesity treatment, with the resting metabolic rate (RMR) playing a major role in energy balance and weight management.
  • This review will explore how different factors affect RMR and its implications for obesity treatment, particularly in specific populations with obesity.

Article Abstract

The prevalence of obesity has continued to rise, and obesity and its attendant metabolic disorders are major global health threat factors. Among the current interventions for obesity, none have demonstrated sustained efficacy in achieving long-term outcomes. So, the identification of therapeutic targets is of paramount importance in the advancement and sustainability of obesity. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) constitutes 60%-75% of total energy expenditure and serves a crucial function in maintaining energy balance. Nevertheless, there exists considerable heterogeneity in RMR among individuals. Low RMR is associated with weight gain, elevating the susceptibility to obesity-related ailments. Hence, RMR will be the main focus of interest in the study of obesity treatment. In this review, we will elucidate the influence factors and mechanisms of action of RMR in obesity, with particular emphasis on the effects of obesity treatment on RMR and the alterations and influence factors of RMR in special types of populations with obesity.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is known for antiobesity. However, the role of CLA in regulating high-fat diet (HFD)-impaired pubertal mammary gland development remains undefined. Here, pubertal female mice and HC11 cells were treated with HFD or palmitic acid (PA), supplemented with or without CLA, respectively.

Mitochondrial endonuclease G (EndoG) contributes to chromosomal degradation when it is released from mitochondria during apoptosis. It is presumed to also have a mitochondrial function because EndoG deficiency causes mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the mechanism by which EndoG regulates mitochondrial function is not known.
