“…There was also a negative correlation between body weight and fasting blood glucose at 21 st day after constant administration of experimental diets (r=-0.279). This is not consistent with previous studies where fat mass was found to be positively correlated with fasting blood glucose [35]. This is probably because the weight gain was mainly from increase in muscle and bone weight rather than fat mass.…”

“…Classic twin [6 -8,10,11] and population-based studies [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] provided unambiguous evidence concerning the role of inherited factors in the pathogenesis of acne. Cross-sectional and population-based investigations have yielded clear evidence on the exact course of the disease and the differences that can be observed in different populations.…”

“…In the developed world, acne vulgaris affects 80 to 90% of the population [13], whereas in less modernized civilizations, where the population lives a more natural, less industrialized lifestyle, the proportion of affected individuals tends to be much lower. There are even isolated populations where acne is nonexistent, including the inhabitants of the island of Okinawa before World War II [14], the Bantus in South Africa [15,16], the Eskimos [17], isolated South American Indians [18], and Pacific Islanders [19].…”

A B S T R A C TAcne is one of the most common dermatologic diseases in the developed regions of the world, affecting a large percentage of the population. Despite the great improvement in the number and quality of studies of the molecular etiology of this disease in the past 3 decades, the detailed molecular pathogenesis and the cause of the large individual variations in severity of skin symptoms remain unknown. The roles of genetic inheritance and special genetic susceptibility and protective factors have been suggested for over 100 years, but their identification and determination started only in the 1990s. To date, only a small number of genetic polymorphisms affecting the expression and/or function of a handful of genes have been investigated. This review surveys the major findings of the classic and molecular genetic studies that have been conducted in this field, draws conclusions, and indicates how the available data help our current understanding of the pathogenesis of this common skin disease. ᭧

“…By 1980, the diet of many families had incorporated newly imported fresh food (frozen meats, fruits, and vegetables), but still contained a significant portion of starches and sugars (principally candy and soda). This shift from a high-protein, polyunsaturated fat diet to one high in carbohydrates and saturated fats, especially among the generation(s) raised in the settlement, has not been without adverse health effects (see Draper, 1976Draper, , 1978Draper, , 1980Schaefer, 1971; also Borré, 1990). …”

ABSTRACT. From June 1992 to July 1993, research on wildlife harvesting and subsistence relations was conducted among a sample of householders in the Inuit community of Holman. In an earlier paper, the authors examined the involvement of younger Inuit in subsistence hunting, noting that despite the sweeping political, social, and economic changes that have been experienced in Holman and across the Canadian North, hunting remained an important sociocultural and economic activity for some members of the sample group. This paper focuses specifically on the informal socioeconomic aspects of subsistence in Holman. Using primary data from the 1992-93 sample, we examine the range of economic mechanisms employed by Holman Inuit for the distribution of wild resources and compare the present range of such activity to that observed by Stefansson, Jenness, Rasmussen, and Damas in their work on Copper Inuit food sharing. These data indicate 1) that the sharing form most frequently cited ethnographically, obligatory seal-sharing partnerships, is more irregular than formerly; and 2) that voluntary, nonpartnershipbased sharing remains an important element in the contemporary economic system. Key words: subsistence, Copper Inuit, food sharing, distributional mechanisms RÉSUMÉ. De juin 1992 à juillet 1993, on a fait de la recherche sur les prélèvements fauniques et les rapports de subsistance parmi un échantillon de foyers dans la communauté inuit de Holman. Dans un article précédent, les auteurs étudiaient la participation de jeunes Inuit à la chasse de subsistance, notant que, malgré les changements profonds sur les plans politique, social et économique qui s'étaient produits à Holman et à travers tout le Nord canadien, la chasse restait une activité socioculturelle et économique importante pour des membres du groupe d'échantillonnage. Le présent article porte en particulier sur les aspects socio-économiques informels de la subsistance à Holman. En utilisant des données brutes provenant de l'échantillon de 1992-93, on se penche sur l'éventail des mécanismes économiques employés par les Inuit de Holman pour la distribution des ressources provenant de la nature et on compare l'éventail actuel de cette activité à celui qu'ont observé Stefansson, Jenness, Rasmussen et Damas dans leurs travaux sur le partage de la nourriture chez les Inuit du cuivre. Ces données indiquent 1) que le mode de partage le plus fréquemment cité par les ethnologues, c'est-à-dire le partenariat obligatoire du partage du phoque, est moins courant qu'auparavant; 2) que le partage volontaire, qui ne s'appuie pas sur le partenariat reste un élément majeur du système économique contemporain.Mots clés: subsistance, Inuit du cuivre, partage de la nourriture, mécanismes de distribution Traduit pour la revue Arctic par Nésida Loyer.
