<<Correct. Protocol for PIII include lifestyle change (regular exercise, non-forced healthy dieting, …), so we may see few more ponds of weight loss in PIII than was observed in short PII (where pts could do whatever they like, and eat as much as they want). For 12 months 5-10% (on average ~240 # it is 12-24 #) weight loss from baseline should be seen as success>> Excellent. Can't wait to see the results. I'm so curious to see what people can lose with axokine plus regular exercise versus exercise and placebo. I agree with your second paragraph 100%. It's a combination of social, environmental and genetic factors. I don't mind glucking up this thread as long as vector doesn't mind. Its been so quiet for so long since the sector tanked.

<Contrary to what was posted here, I see obesity like any other modern age disease: cardivascular, metabolic, inflammatory,…Combination of the social, environmental and genetic factors. Increase in obesity rate is due to unhealthy eating, lower energy expenditure due to lifestyle and requirements,> Pretty much what was said I thought... although I realize I'm saying I think it's futile, which is an off the cuff opinion and has no scientific basis or business being here but: My point is simply summed up as the difficulty of creating a pill to counteract the negative effects of the human body not doing [and eating] what it has been meant to do [and eat] since the beginning of time. Interesting point about drugs on top of drugs btw. DAK
