Since the discovery of leptin in 1994, many have hoped that the hormone would be a promising weight-loss treatment for humans. Leptin acts as a signal to help the body decide when it has eaten enough food to feel full. The amount of leptin in the blood has been directly linked to body fat.

After receiving leptin replacement therapy, research subjects with a recessive mutation in the obesity (ob) gene – a population both deficient in Leptin and morbidly obese – lost about half of their body weight while regulating their own food intake. (Medical news Today 4/5/2005).

If you take it at face value, it seems as if the research is saying that more leptin will help you lose weight. This research refers to subjects with a genetic basis for obesity who were deficient in leptin. But obese individuals tend to have more and larger leptin-producing fat cells than thinner people. They simply are not getting vital chemical signals to their brains that tell them to stop eating.

To illustrate my point:

Despite an assiduous search, scientists have found only a half-dozen people in the world who make no leptin. These people eat voraciously – one 3-year-old girl consumed 2,000 calories at a sitting. When several of these people were treated with leptin, they lost their appetites and their weight plummeted. (The New York Times 31/10/1999).

Don’t get me wrong, if it helps those who cannot make leptin, then this is a major breakthrough for them.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, goes a long way toward proving to me that more leptin does not equal less weight in very overweight people in the general population.

To make things worse, a hormone called leptin that was supposed to be the magic bullet for obesity, making people effortlessly lose fat while retaining muscle, looks like a bust. In a preliminary study reported last week, most people who took leptin lost little or no weight – one fat person who took the highest dose actually gained 20 pounds. (The New York Times 31/10/1999).

Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston say lean, physically active people have low levels of leptin, which is produced by the body’s fat cells and is believed to be a major culprit in causing obesity. The study finds that when couch potatoes start exercising regularly, their leptin levels decrease.

“As you get fatter, your body makes more leptin,” says Eric B. Rimm, Sc.D., associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, and a co-author of the study. “But when you exercise, the amount of leptin in the blood decreases. Most of the time, you also lose weight, which means your risk of heart disease decreases too.” (Science Daily 7/3/2000).

Normally, when leptin levels in blood go up, the brain signals us to stop eating. But since obesity isn’t the result of a lack of leptin, it is a lack of response to leptin, and obese individuals tend to have more and larger leptin-producing fat cells (leptin is a hormone secreted by fat cells) than thinner people, their leptin levels increase substantially with every pound of additional weight gain.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there appears to be no logic in the idea of taking more leptin to reduce weight if you have an impaired response to leptin.

It is important to keep in mind that the study that showed that raising leptin levels in people who have already lost weight helps them to keep the weight off. It does not help people to lose weight in the first place. It prevents the yo-yoing that most dieters go through as their leptin levels drop and the brain tries to compensate by increasing hunger.

Weight loss lowers levels of leptin, which in turn can restore an impaired response to leptin signaling.

Adding any “not so normal” hair coloring, including purple hair dye, to your hair is a major thing to do. Prior to taking this major step, here are a few snippets of advice you need to think about before you go ahead.

1. Do you mind being stared at? Most people who are considering purple hair dye would automatically answer no. However, they may not expect how much attention they really will get once they do the deed. If you think it would be annoying to be constantly referred to as, “The one with the purple hair,” then re-think whether to dye.

2. Can you deal with stains? Purple hair dyes, and all other extreme colors, bleed. Chances are very good you will dye parts of your skin, some clothing and some towels. While the colors will fade out of your skin, it will take some time. The clothing and the towels will be stained permanently.

3. Do you have a serious occasion coming up soon? If there is a family wedding or a serious job interview looming in your future, this may not be the best time to whip out the purple hair dye. Even if you use a temporary color that is supposed to wash out, there is a chance your hair will have a purple cast to it for quite some time.

4. Do you have someone to help you? If you have decided you can handle all these issues and want to try purple hair dye, get a friend to help you. Trying to dye your hair yourself is a messy challenge. You will get better results if a friend applies the dye and rinses it out. It will also be far less messy.

These four questions will help you determine if this is the time for purple hair dye. If it is, be prepared to be noticed.

The online shopping industry keeps growing, and more and more products are made available online. You can now find everything and purchase the items you want just with a few clicks.

Use an online shopping directory to find the best online stores and deals.

Some of the online shopping directories also have reviews of the stores that they are linked to, so that you know what to expect from them.

Online shopping can save you a lot of time and money, and the online market keeps growing so if you haven’t tried buying something from an online store, give it a try and you’ll see that it’s much simpler than going to a supermarket. You can order food and clothes for you family in a few minutes and with a few clicks, and you don’t have to leave your home to do it.

Paying online is now pretty simple for the online buyer.

Bookmarks are nice little accessories for anyone who loves books. Many people think of bookmarks only as the small paper versions they get for free in their favorite bookstore – and indeed a bookmark can be quite cheap – you can even print them yourself.

A nice example for free downloadable bookmarks can be found on this german website: Lesezeichen drucken. Just download the PDF and print it, perhaps on thicker-than-normal paper and you get a nice little present that goes along with any book gift.

If you are looking for free bookmarks a good way is to create them yourself. If you don’t mind the work and want to spent a little time on it you can create wonderful bookmarks, again the following description is in german, but as it is illustrated with many pictures, you will easily get along (blumen basteln).

But let’s have a look in the other direction of the price range: There are also very precious bookmarks that are made from a variety of fine materials. Most common in the upper class of bookmarks are silver bookmarks (Lesezeichen Silber). They are available as very sophisticated animal themes or in combination with other materials like wood and leather. To make it short: Everyone can find the bookmarks that best suit his or her character…

Harassment by debt collectors can be aggravating, embarassing and depressing. You may be surprised to hear there are ways to stop debt harassment, if you know your rights. The easiest way to stop a collection agency from harassing you is to send a cease letter. Collection agencies are required by US federal law to stop contacting you once they receive this letter. You can find examples of cease letters online. These offer correct wording and instructions as to what you should and should not say.

The cease letter does not have to be involved and does not have to contain your reasons for not paying the debt. If it is possible it’s a good idea to have this letter sent via certified mail so that you can prove they did in fact receive it. Always keep a copy of any correspondence you send as well, in case you need to refer to it in the future.

Hiring an attorney to handle your case is another good way to stop debt collection harassment. Once a collection agency is made aware that you are represented by an attorney, they are prohibited by federal law from contacting you directly. While an attorney can be costly, if you are really being harassed they might be the best option to help you. An experienced attorney will be aware of the most current laws and can be especially helpful if you have a valid reason for disputing the debt.

You can also try to work out an agreement with any debt collector who is harassing you for payment. The debt collector almost always has a compromise figure they are prepared to offer you if they know you are reasonably sincere. Their job, after all, is to get something from you rather than nothing, and they know the longer a debt remains unpaid, the less likely it will ever be paid. Coming to a mutually agreed upon arrangement means that you will decide on an amount to pay, typically less than that of the entire debt, and agree on a debt repayment schedule. So long as you keep up on your end of the deal, the creditors should stop calling you for the most part. It’s possible they will call you to remind you of your payments though.

Sometimes the debt collection harassment can be entirely in error. For example, it might be on an account you closed in good standing or might even not be your debt but that of someone with a similar name. If this is the case you should inform the collection agency in writing. Once they receive this request they will have to stop attempts to contact you while they investigate.

If all of these tips fail and you are still being harassed, you may need to begin legal proceedings against the harassing agency. In such cases it is important to hire an experienced attorney well versed in consumer debt and bankruptcy issues. If collection agencies are harassing you in an illegal manner, an experienced attorney can not only get the harassment stopped, but may be able to start proceedings against them for violating the law.

Learn more about the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act – FDCPA – and how it protects you from debt harassment. Visit FairDebtHelpers.com for a free evaluation of your case by an experienced fair debt attorney.

The economic crisis is requiring all of us to re-evaluate how we do things, and how we live in this world. For many that means cutting back, becoming more efficient and finding ways to help save the planet and ourselves in the long term. One of those options is conserving water and electricity or gas by getting a water heater than is more efficient.

Indeed, they are becoming an increasingly popular option for many people, either in their homes or businesses. Costs are more up front, but save you in the long run. The installation costs of tankless water heaters are from 2 – 4 times higher than tank-type water heaters. For gas tankless water heaters, the same gas supply line and/or venting may need to be sized larger than for a typical gas tank. Tankless water heaters are compact in size and virtually eliminate standby losses. They can provide warm water at remote points of use and less water is wasted while waiting for warm water to reach a remote faucet.

Tankless water heaters are designed to last for 20 years and are much smaller than typical hot water tanks. Some types of tankless models are thermostatically controlled; they can vary their output temperature according to the water flow rate and inlet temperature.

Bosch tankless water heaters heaters are an amazing way to save space and energy in your home. There are dozens of innovative designs and styles available for you to choose from. Plus they are more convenient to operate.

It doesn’t matter if you’re working with gas or electricity for your energy source, there are water heaters for both. Think about it. You don’t want to spend money heating water you aren’t even using. With regular water heaters you’re constantly keeping the same water at high temperatures, water you won’t need for hours yet. Why waste the money and energy?
