Results: Higher symptoms of FA correlated with greater changes in ventral caudate-hippocampus connectivity between fasted and fed conditions. FA symptoms did not correlate with connectivity in the dorsal caudate circuit. Post-hoc analyses revealed that participants with higher symptoms of FA had ventral caudate-hippocampus hyperconnectivity in the fasted scan only, as well as a significant reduction of this connectivity between the fasted and fed scans. Conclusions: Heightened connectivity in the ventral striatum during a fasted state, which has been linked to reward prediction signals, underpins symptoms of FA. In contrast, connectivity in the dorsal striatum or "habit" system is unrelated to homeostatic status and FA symptoms, and is thus less relevant for subclinical manifestations of FA.]]> Tue 21 Feb 2023 12:23:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2535 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:31:03 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11280 35 kg/m2) at baseline had more recurrences than those women with a low BMI (BMI < 23 kg/m2; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.39; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.82; Pheterogeneity = .03) and significantly more distant recurrences (adjusted HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.61; Pheterogeneity = .01). Overall, the relative benefit of anastrozole versus tamoxifen was nonsignificantly better in thin women compared to overweight women. Conclusion: These results confirm the poorer prognosis of obese women with early-stage breast cancer. Recurrence rates were lower for anastrozole than tamoxifen for all BMI quintiles. Our results suggest that the relative efficacy of anastrozole compared to tamoxifen is greater in thin postmenopausal women and higher doses or more complete inhibitors might be more effective in overweight women, but this requires independent confirmation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:44 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20538 25 000 US$/person/year). Corresponding BMI distributions for corresponding countries and regions were identified. Nonparametric tests were used to compare the association between H. pylori and overweight and obesity rates. Results: Forty-nine studies with data from 10 European countries, Japan, the US and Australia were identified. The mean H. pylori rate was 44.1% (range 17-75%), the mean rates for obesity and overweight were 46.6 (±16)% and 14.2 (±8.9)%. The rate of obesity and overweight were inversely and significantly (r = 0.29, P < 0.001) correlated with the prevalence of H. pylori infection. Conclusions: There is an inverse correlation between H. pylori prevalence and rate of overweight/obesity in countries of the developed world. Thus, the gradual decrease of the H. pylori colonisation that has been observed in recent decades (or factors associated with decrease of) could be causally related to the obesity endemic observed in the Western world.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:41 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42033 Drosophila RNAi-knockdowns, we observed a significant increase in the total body triglyceride levels for two genes (DNAH10 and PLXND1).
