Abstract:
A method for assessing the predisposition of a subject to weight loss attainable by applyingone or more dietary interventions to a subject and/or the predisposition of a subject to maintenance of weight loss following one or more dietary interventions which method comprises determining the nucleotide of the subject at one or more polymorphic positions selected from: (i) position 101 of SEQ ID NO:1 (rs953211) (ii) position 101 of SEQ ID NO:2 (rs1509290) (iii) position 101 of SEQ ID NO:3 (rs1509289) and/or detecting one or more biomarkers genetically linked to said polymorphic positions.

Abstract:
A method for predicting the degree of weight loss attainable by applying one or more dietary interventions to a subject, said method comprising determining the level of one or more biomarkers in one or more samples obtained from the subject, wherein the biomarkers are selected from fructosamine and factor VII.
Abstract:
An agent capable of decreasing the activity of ANK1 for use in (i) reducing fat accumulation and/or (ii) preserving or increasing fat free mass.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for predicting the degree of weight loss attainable by applying one or more dietary interventions to a subject and/or the degree of maintenance of weight loss following one or more dietary interventions; which method comprises determining the level of microRNA-486 (miR-486) in one or more samples obtained from the subject; and/or determining the nucleotide of the subject at one or more polymorphic positions genetically linked to miR-486.
Abstract:
An agent capable of increasing the activity of branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) for use in increasing leptin levels. The invention also relates to the use of such agents for supporting satiety and for supporting weight maintenance and/or treating or preventing obesity.
