    Hi, Im doing an exam at the moment and Im looking for articles related to the pathophysiology of obesity and two related disorders. I have one which is hypertension but Im trying to find another one that can be condensed down to 400-500 words. Can anyone make any recommendations?

    Probably should have made myself clear. Im looking for the article that is fairly condensed or that can be condensed easily. The problem Im finding is that the articles are very long and I haven't the knowledge to be able to edit them because I don't know what are the most relevant things to keep. Type 2 diabetes is difficult because there are a few hypothesis floating around that make it difficult to summarise.

    Ah, I see. I no longer have access to all the journals so I can't help too much but perhaps these might help:

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1435949/
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16198769

    I always found it best to start with reviews of the subject, look for the most recent one you can find, read it and it will give you an overview and list of recent research in context.
    I would read these two and pick a recent paper referenced that interests me and look up that paper: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23059882 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23166398

    Keep it recent and keep it interesting (for you).

    When I'm looking up papers I find sciverse/nature/pubmed/science direct all very useful sites.. Also make use of your university/college e journals. Your best to read the reviews.. Read abstracts and then the conclusions. What do you mean by "few hypothesis to make it difficult for you to summarise. Google metabolic syndromes and you should find a few although I wouldn't class obesity as a metabolic syndrome but regardless you should 2 with relevance.
