Myers 2008 review retrospectively proposes that high leptin has no effect in obese individuals due to _____________________

Krude 1998 established a strong link between leptin pathway components and mutations linked to early-onset obesity

According to OSHA, the level of waste halogenated anesthetic agents in the clinical air should not exceed

The primary contribution of Schwartz 1996 was the identification of the arcuate nucleus as a probably target site for leptin binding

In this paper (Varghese et al 2023), the authors attempted to get reference gastric motility data for low BMI and high BMI individuals. Gastric motility refers to the rate at which food moves through the GI tract and has important consequences for health. In short, slower gastric motility is correlated with increased nutrient absorption, reduced inflammation, and improved metabolic health. The authors were testing a new technology called Gastric Alimetry. This technology can evaluate electrical activity in the gut which can be analyzed to assess gastric motility. In this figure, the graphs and heat maps on the right are indicating gastric motility, with higher values for longer periods representing slower gastric motility. Which of the following is a reasonable interpretation of this figure?  

In Kennedy’s experiment with hyperphagic rats at different temperatures, the main finding was (contrary to the dominant theory at the time):

One of the purposes of Keys 1950 was:

The data from Keys 1950 suggested starvation only affects body mass and does not impact other bodily systems (temperature regulation, mood, libido).

One major finding of Friedman’s 1994 paper was: 

Although Kennedy didn’t know it when he published his 1953 paper, his experiments were the first to discover a concept we now call:
