This research is only scratching the surface when it comes to combating obesity, but it does shed light on an area that is confounding. The inability to produce adequate muscle to support the body weight is a major cause degenerative joint disease and neuro/musculoskeletal disorders. I wonder if there is some relationship between increased fat and estrogen levels inhibiting muscle development?
"Our findings demonstrate that obesity involves more than accumulating excess fat and carrying excess weight," said Rudolf J. Schilder, American Physiological Society postdoctoral fellow in physiological genomics, Penn State College of Medicine. "We show that, during the development of obesity, skeletal muscles fail to adjust their molecular composition appropriately to the increasing body weight. Consequently, the muscles of obese mammals are not properly 'tuned' to the higher body weight they carry."
