A study published in the Journal of Eating Disorders finds a specific MC4R gene variant (rs17782313, C allele) is linked to food addiction and to worse mental health symptoms in people with obesity.

Food addiction (FA) has gained more scientific attention but needs deeper understanding. Data indicates that the central melanocortin (MC) system through the MC4 receptor (MC4R) and its polymorphisms play a crucial role in the regulation of eating behaviour and in the motivation for the rewarding pr...

A study published in Lipids in Health and Disease finds that cotrimoxazole (a fixed-dose combination of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) is independently associated with lower total cholesterol and non-HDL-cholesterol levels among people with HIV.

While cotrimoxazole has anti-inflammatory effects among people with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PWH), its effect on lipid profiles is not well-characterized. We compared the lipid profiles of PWH on cotrimoxazole to those not on it and assessed its association with individual lipid parameters. PWH...
