WASHINGTON， Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- Children with a genetic risk for obesity respond more strongly to fast food television advertising in a brain region associated with reward processing， according to a new study out Monday that may help understand why some children are more likely to overeat unhealthy foods.


The study is the first-of-its kind to examine how a key obesity gene， known as the fat-mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene， influences brain response to food advertisements and other cues to eat， according to researchers at the Dartmouth College.


The findings were published in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.


In the study， 78 children， aged nine to 12 years old， watched a children's television show in an magnetic resonance imaging scanner.


To simulate the experience of watching television from home， the show included 12 minutes of commercial breaks -- half were advertisements for fast food and the other half for non-food items.


Children were also evaluated on their genetic risk for obesity based on the FTO gene， which strongly predicts obesity across the lifespan.


The nucleus accumbens， a region in the brain commonly associated with reward craving， was not only physically larger in children with the obesity-risk FTO genotype compared to genetically low-risk children but also showed a stronger craving response to the food commercials.


"About one-third of commercials children see on network television are food advertisements， and each one is a prompt to eat，" senior author Diane Gilbert-Diamond， assistant professor of Epidemiology at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine， said in a statement.


"We know from our prior work that children with this same genetic obesity risk factor are more likely to overeat after watching food advertisements on TV， even when they are not hungry. The brain scans suggest that these children may be especially vulnerable to food cues， and that limiting food advertisement exposure could be an effective way to combat child obesity."

TRIBUTES flowed from politicians Nike Air Max 90 Off White Pas Cher , former teammates and current players yesterday as New Zealand mourned the death of All Blacks great Colin Meads at the age of 81 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.


Meads, who in 1999 was named New Zealand’s greatest rugby player of the 20th Century, was diagnosed with cancer last year and died in hospital in his home town of Te Kuiti yesterday.


In a sign of his importance to the people of the rugby-mad nation, his death was announced by Prime Minister Bill English. “This is a sad day for New Zealand rugby and for New Zealand Nike Air Vapormax Off White Pas Cher ,” English said in the statement. “He represented what it means to be a New Zealander. He was no-nonsense, reliable, hardworking, warm and very generous with his time.”


His family issued their own statement through New Zealand Rugby Nike Air Max Off White Pas Cher , expressing their thanks for the expressions of sympathy from the local community and from rugby fans worldwide.


Meads, nicknamed as ‘Pinetree’ at an early age, was renowned for his toughness and uncompromising attitude in an international playing career that spanned 14 years. He played 133 games for the All Blacks and even if only 55 of them were tests, that was still a record for the national team.


The rangy lock came to epitomize the stereotypical no-nonsense All Blacks forward but was also lauded for pace and ball-handling skills that were rarely seen in tight forwards of his day.


Meads died the day after the world champions All Blacks had opened their Rugby Championship campaign with a 54-34 victory over Australia and the team expressed its sorrow from Sydney.


“This is an incredibly sad day Nike Air Max 95 Femme Pas Cher ,” All Blacks captain Kieran Read said. “Sir Colin was an icon of our game.”


Coach Steve Hansen said: “His achievements in the black jersey are part of the All Blacks legacy.”
