About 40% of American adults are living with obesity — and for many, it can feel a bit like a roller-coaster as their weight ...

A study reveals fat cells' memory of obesity contributes to the yo-yo effect in dieting, making weight maintenance ...

“We’ve found a molecular basis for the yo-yo effect,” said Ferdinand von Meyenn, professor of nutrition and metabolic epigenetics at ETH Zurich University in Switzerland. New research finds ...

"Other body cells might also play a part in the yo-yo effect," von Meyenn said. For now, the best strategy to avoid altering your cells in this way is to avoid getting up there at all. "It’s ...

Hi, this is Naomi in Berlin, where the season of gingerbread and chocolate will soon threaten to reprogram everyone’s cells. More on that soon, but first... Almost anyone who has ever been on a ...

Researchers published a study in Nature that explains how that memory works and why it is so persistent. The work describes the genetic and cellular mechanisms that make the "Yo-Yo effect," a common ...

About 40% of American adults live with obesity — and for many, it can feel a bit like a roller-coaster ride as their weight fluctuates up and down. The cycle of losing and regaining weight ...

“That means we’ve found a molecular basis for the yo-yo effect.” What’s not clear yet is for how long this memory might persist, and that’s something that future research will have to explor ...

This phenomenon is often referred to as the "yo-yo effect," or "yo-yo dieting." Millions of Americans try to lose weight every year. And yet, more than 40% of U.S. adults 20 and older have obesity ...

ETH Zurich researchers have identified an epigenetic memory in fat cells that drives the yo-yo effect after weight loss. Studies in mice and humans reveal that fat cells retain obesity markers, making ...

(Envato Elements pic) The so-called “yo-yo effect” is well-known to anyone trying to lose weight: after every successful diet, those hard-lost kilos always seem to come back. But this vicious ...
