Post-menopausal women may cause obesity

U.S. scientists recently published a study revealed the results of post-menopausal women with the relationship between body weight. The study shows that post-menopausal women, the hormone the body will be corresponding changes, which easily lead to changes in the incidence of obesity.

The researchers said women who are postmenopausal emerged on the previous cyclical ovarian function has ended, the ovarian estrogen and progesterone secretion will decrease. Research shows that during menopause, women's weight often significant growth. In order to determine the women of these hormones dropped to what extent will have an impact on body weight and how to take the necessary preventive measures, researchers of 47 adult female monkeys were studied. To participate in these experiments in monkeys, 19 monkeys of ovarian surgery has been removed. The results of these monkeys appeared similar to when a postmenopausal phenomenon, that is, estrogen and progesterone secretion decreased. For the other 28 monkeys in the control group.

The results showed a decline in hormone makes these ovarian removal of the monkeys had been the increase in appetite, food intake than the previous increase of 67% body weight at the same time in a few weeks also increased by about 5%, and over time Continue to rise. In addition, the researchers also noted that fat cells produced by another of the hormone can stimulate appetite have grown. The researchers said that this description of the monkeys with their ovaries removed were found in the course of metabolic changes in the relationship between.

The study also provided with the most people consider to be "easy to eat fat at night" On the contrary evidence. The researchers said the institute to maintain a healthy weight, regular people will say that as far as possible to sleep before eating to avoid gaining weight. However, little research has confirmed that this was accepted by many of our scientific. However, in this study, researchers observe the animals eat the time. Some of the monkeys to eat most of the time at night, but did not make their body weight than those eating monkeys during the day to easily increase. Researchers said that eating and weight between the time has not found a direct link.
