“…[1][2][3] Obesity has a complex aetiology, but is clearly influenced both by genetic variation and by environmental factors such as diet and lifestyle. 4 Physical activity (PA), for example, is recognised as a prevention tool for obesity, is known to increase energy expenditure and also has the potential to regulate appetite, 5 although the relationship between PA and obesity is not clearly defined. 6 Studies of the recently discovered fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene have provided the most compelling evidence to date of genetic variation in the general population that influences fat levels and risk of obesity.…”

FTO genotype and adiposity in children: physical activity levels influence the effect of the risk genotype in adolescent males

Studies of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene provide compelling evidence of genetic variation in the general population that influences fat levels and obesity risk. Studies of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors such as physical activity (PA) will promote the understanding of how lifestyle can modulate genetic contributions to obesity. In this study, we investigated the effect of FTO genotype, and interactions with PA or energy intake, in young children and adolescents. In all, 1-5-year-old children from the Growth, Exercise and Nutrition Epidemiological Study in preSchoolers (GENESIS) study (N¼1980) and 11-18-year-old Greek adolescents (N¼949) were measured for adiposity-related phenotypes and genotyped at the FTO singlenucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker, rs17817449. Adolescents were classified as physically active or inactive based on self-reported levels of PA. In adolescents, FTO genotype influenced weight (P¼0.001) and BMI (P¼0.007). There was also a significant SNP*PA*gender interaction (P¼0.028) on BMI, which reflected the association between FTO genotype and BMI in males (P¼0.016), but not females (P¼0.15), and significant SNP*PA interaction in males (P¼0.007), but not females (P¼0.74). The FTO genotype effect was more pronounced in inactive than active males. Inactive males homozygous for the G allele had a mean BMI 3 kg/m 2 higher than T carriers (P¼0.008). In the GENESIS study, no significant association between FTO genotype and adiposity was found. The present findings highlight PA as an important factor modifying the effect of FTO genotype.

“…Parra et al [53] showed that diets rich in n-3 modulate postprandial satiety in overweight and obese volunteers during weight loss. Given that exercise has been shown to result in better short-term appetite control [43], it would be interesting to assess whether n-3 supplementation might have a synergistic effect on improving post-workout satiety when combined with regimented exercise. If so, this could have significant implications for long-term weight management.…”

SummaryOmega-3 (n-3) fatty acids, and the long-chain n-3 derivatives eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in particular, have been extensively researched for their nutritive effects. Among their many purported benefits, n-3 acids have been implicated as positive mediators of cardiovascular health and body composition. It has therefore been speculated that supplementation may enhance the beneficial effects of physical activity, potentiating greater reductions in body fat and improvements in exercise performance. This paper has three objectives: first, to assess the theoretical basis for a synergistic ef-fect when n-3 supplementation is combined with exercise; second, to review the literature as to specific findings on the subject and third, to make relevant conclusions and recommendations for future research.

“…Therefore, the impact of aerobic exercise on appetite comprises two processes: an increase in the orexigenic drive that is counteracted by an increase in the satiety effects of food. The second process appears to be mediated through changes in either the release of or sensitivity to episodic satiety peptides [48,49].…”

Physical Activity, Energy Intake, and Obesity: The Links Between Exercise and Appetite

et al. 2013

Overweight and obesity are often theorized using the energy balance equation. When energy intake (EI) is greater than energy expended this creates a positive energy balance and leads to weight gain, conversely when energy expenditure (EE) exceeds EI this creates a negative energy balance and weight loss. Physiologists have been examining the relationship between EE and EI since the 1950s. Total daily EE is comprised of two main components; resting metabolic rate (RMR) and physical activity (PA). This review will examine and report the relationships between both major components of EE and EI, and therefore the impact of PA on body weight. The relationship between energy expended through PA and EI appears to be weak, especially within one day and over longer periods in overweight and obese adults. However, recent data have demonstrated a strong relationship between RMR, hunger and food intake. The differences observed in the relationships between PA EE and EI and metabolic EE and EI are not surprising. EE from PA is highly variable and episodic whereas EE from RMR is very stable and tonic. These new data provide evidence for a fundamental link between EE and EI.
