Primary prevention trial conducted in 42 middle schools at 7 locations across the US to impact risk factors for type 2 diabetes in adolescents. Students were recruited at the start of 6th grade (fall 2006) and followed to the end of 8th grade (spring 2009). Half of the schools were randomized to receive an intervention that integrated four components: the school nutrition environment, physical education class activities, behavior change initiatives, and educational and promotional communications activities.

Consortium comprised of six clinical centers and a data coordinating center to facilitate coordinated clinical, epidemiological, and behavioral research in the field of bariatric surgery, through the cooperative development of common clinical protocols and a bariatric surgery database that will collect information from participating clinical centers. LABS will help pool the necessary clinical expertise and administrative resources to facilitate the conduct of multiple clinical studies in a timely, efficient manner. Also, the use of standardized definitions, clinical protocols, and data-collection instruments will enhance the investigator's ability to provide meaningful evidence-based recommendations for patient evaluation, selection, and follow-up care. The consortium was funded in September 2003. The investigators have collaboratively developed a core database and clinical protocols, and subject enrollment began in early 2005. A repository of data and biological specimens for future research also will be collected by the centers participating in LABS. These will provide valuable resources for future study of obesity and its complications.

https://rgd.mcw.edu/rgdweb/portal/home.jsp?p=4

An integrated resource for information on genes, QTLs and strains associated with diabetes. The portal provides easy acces to data related to both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes and Diabetes-related Obesity and Hypertension, as well as information on Diabetic Complications. View the results for all the included diabetes-related disease states or choose a disease category to get a pull-down list of diseases. A single click on a disease will provide a list of related genes, QTLs, and strains as well as a genome wide view of these via the GViewer tool. A link from GViewer to GBrowse shows the genes and QTLs within their genomic context. Additional pages for Phenotypes, Pathways and Biological Processes provide one-click access to data related to diabetes. Tools, Related Links and Rat Strain Models pages link to additional resources of interest to diabetes researchers.

http://www.endo-society.org/

Founded in 1916, The Endocrine Society is the world''s oldest, largest, and most active organization devoted to research on hormones and the clinical practice of endocrinology. The Society works to foster a greater understanding of endocrinology amongst the general public and practitioners of complementary medical disciplines and to promote the interests of all endocrinologists at the national scientific research and health policy levels of government. The Endocrine Society publishes four world-renowned journals and a monthly news magazine, holds scientific conferences, provides educational programs for physicians, issues clinical practice guidelines, promotes careers in endocrinology, and advocates for appropriate funding of scientific research in endocrinology and public policies that support the practice of clinical endocrinology. The Hormone Health Network, the Society''s public education affiliate, is a leading source of hormone-related health information for the public, physicians, allied health professionals and the media. The Endocrine Society is an international body with more than 15,000 members from over 100 countries. The Society''s diverse membership represents medicine, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, immunology, education, industry and allied health fields. Members of The Endocrine Society represent the full range of disciplines associated with endocrinologists: clinicians, researchers, educators, fellows and students, industry professionals and health professionals who are involved in the field of endocrinology. These professionals are dedicated to the research and treatment of the full range of endocrine disorders: diabetes, reproduction, infertility, osteoporosis, thyroid disease, obesity/lipids, growth hormone, pituitary tumors, and adrenal insufficiency.
