High impact information on Body Weight Changes

Treatment with vitamin D or its analogues does not change body weight or blood glucose level in postmenopausal women [1].
Annetocin, Lys-conopressin (a leech vasopressin-related peptide) and two analog peptides, [Tyr(3)]-annetocin ((3)Y-annetocin) and [Phe(3)]-annetocin ((3)F-annetocin), were compared for their activities to induce egg-laying-like behavior and to change body weight as a measure of water balance in the leech W. pigra [2].
However, supplemental L-carnitine and niacin did not change body weight gain during the last 3 weeks of the experimental period [3].
The GOS supplementation did not change body weight nor fat pad mass, nor any of the blood parameters measured (glucose, insulin, leptin, triglycerides, and free fatty acids) [4].
