3. Individuals and populations differ in gene activity levels, not just genes
   03-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Much like how a person's genetic code differs from other individuals, the level at which those genes are activated in the body differs from one person to another, scientists have learned. And though some of those differences in gene activity are seen between different populations -- Asians versus Europeans, for instance -- more of those variations are due to individual-level factors, further obscuring the biological meaning of "race."

6. Brain's reward circuit activity ebbs and flows with a woman's hormonal cycle
   02-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Fluctuations in sex hormone levels during women's menstrual cycles affect the responsiveness of their brains' reward circuitry, an imaging study has revealed. While women were winning rewards, their circuitry was more active if they were in a menstrual phase preceding ovulation and dominated by estrogen, compared to a phase when estrogen and progesterone are present. These first pictures of sex hormones influencing reward-evoked brain activity in humans may provide insights into mood and anxiety disorders.

   08-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
   New Kaiser Permanente study shows treating gestational diabetes can break the link to childhood obesity. The largest study of its kind, this research shows that childhood obesity risk rises with a pregnant woman's blood sugar level and untreated gestational diabetes doubles a child's risk of obesity. Authors looked at 20,000 mothers and children, and found treating gestational diabetes lowers the child's risk of obesity to same level of a mother with normal blood sugar levels.
