Naloxone modulates visual judgments of similarity but not dissimilarity.

Endogenous opioids have been implicated in mediating (placebo) analgesia, in reward processes, and in the regulation of socially relevant emotions. To explore their potential contributions to higher cognitive functions, we used a novel task with tachistoscopically presented (for 150 ms) pairs of meaningless figures. Healthy right-handed men judged the similarities and dissimilarities between th...

Leptin Predicts Diabetes but Not Cardiovascular Disease

OBJECTIVE To clarify the association of circulating levels of leptin with risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and new-onset diabetes in men and women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We related baseline leptin levels to CVD events (n = 864) and incident diabetes (n = 289) in an elderly population (n = 5,672) over 3.2 years of follow-up. RESULTS In treatment-, age-, and country-adjusted...
