  CURRENT RESEARCH IN DIABETES & OBESITY JOURNAL JUNIPER PUBLISHERS   Authored by Hazem N Shamseddeen   Abstract Background: Weight loss is a primary outcome measure for the success of Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Much attention has been paid to the negative effects of psychology on postoperative weight loss. We sought to identify personality traits and eating habits that predict weight loss success following RYGB. Methods: A single psychologist prospectively evaluated 346 patients, who subsequently underwent laparoscopic RYGB. Psychological evaluation included Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Short Form (MMPI-2 SF) and long form subscales (MMPI-2 RC) as well as Overeating Questionnaire (OQ). Demographic, anthropomorphic, and clinical data were collected before and after surgery. Results: The overall mean percent excess weight loss (%EWL) was 71.34+/-24.35%. Of the ten MMPI-2 SF scales, Masculine-Feminine (MF), Hypochondriasis (HS)...

  CURRENT RESEARCH IN DIABETES & OBESITY JOURNAL   JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Authored by Ghulam Abbas Abstract Glucagon receptor plays an important role in the glucose homeostasis and thus is drug target for the management of hyperglycemia in type-2 diabetes mellitus. The suppression of glucagon secretion from the alpha-cells is the key to control hyperglycemic condition. The identification of non-peptide antagonists of glucagon receptor is an effective therapeutic approach to inhibit the glucagon secretion to achieve normal glucose index. Keywords:  Glucagon receptor; Hyperglycemia; Diabetes mellitus; Antagonists Go to Introduction Background Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder which is spreading at an alarming rate all over the world.
