Relation between Osteocalcin and Metabolic Profils in Overweight Men: Comparison of Aerobic and Resistance Trainings
Objectives: Recent studies have shown that exercise by affecting bones causes the release of hormones that are effective in
regulating blood glucose, lipid profile and preventing vascular calcification. The present study aims to Comparison effect
of aerobic and resistance exercises on Osteocalcin and Metabolic Profils in Overweight men.
Methods: total of 33 overweight healthy men (BMI 29 = 67.96 ± 0.96 and age 33.2 ± 2.23) were randomly assigned into
three groups: control (n = 11), aerobic (n = 11) and resistance exercise (n = 11) groups. The training program was conducted for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week for the training groups. Body compositions parameters (weight, body fat percent,
BMI) were analyzed, osteocalcin and blood biochemical parameters were assessed from fasting blood samples before and
after 8-week exercise programme.
Results: Body fat, BMI and body weight reduction following exercise (P<0/05), significantly increased serum Osteocalcin
(P<0/05, baseline vs Post exercise) and blood biochemical parameters significantly changes (P < 0/05). Increase in osteocalcin had a negative correlation with changes in body composition, as well as HOMA-IR and HDL, LDL not significantly
(all P > 0/05).
Conclusion: Aerobic and Resistance exercise cause to changes in body weight, body fat, BMI, as well as the increase level of
osteocalcin and improvement of glucose metabolism and lipid profiles. However, the difference between the two training
groups was not statistically significant.
Italian Survey on Perception of Obesity and Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery: A Comparison between General Practitioners and Obese Patients
Obesity is a pandemic, chronic and relapsing disease with several treatment options.
The aim of this work was to investigate the level of awareness that people with obesity (PwO) have of their own condition and
the level of knowledge regarding possible treatments available. To compare and contrast collected data on PwO with data
obtained from general practitioners (GPs)
Capsaicinoids Increase Resting Metabolic Rate in Healthy Individuals under Fasting Condition
Obesity is a chronic metabolic condition of energy imbalance where energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. Resting energy expenditure (REE) represents calories burned at rest and accounts for >60% of total energy expenditure and is an important target for management of obesity. Capsaicinoids, extracted from Capsicum annuum have previously been shown to increase metabolism, lipolysis & induce satiety.
Impact of Inflammation on Atrial Fibrillation in patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Inflammation has been involved in the pathogenesis of both metabolic syndrome (MS) and atrial fibrillation (AF). The magnitude of elevations in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) a marker of inflammation is probably related to atrial structural remodeling and impaired atrial function. In patient with MS, limited data exist regarding impact of plasma levels
of inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein on the: type of AF and atrial structural and functional remodeling.
Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds and Vagal Tone are Different in Patients with Overweight or with Obesity: Practical Consequencies
Urinary Volatile Organic Compounds have been associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and overweight and may
correlate with Exhaled Volatile Organic Compounds (E-VOCs).
Obesity as Behavioral Risk Factors of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in Young Gabonese Population
Obesity increases of prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in young active populations worldwide. We sought to investigate
the status of young men (n=200) and women (n=200) aged from 18 to 39 years old, living at Libreville, by examining their lifestyles and
eating habits, and measuring their anthropometric parameters, including, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), percentages of total
muscles, lean mass, body and visceral fats, as well as metabolic age and metabolism at rest.
Metabolic Effects of an Inositol-Resveratrol Nutraceutical Combination in Non-Diabetic Overweight/Obese Subjects with Altered Glucose Tolerance
Insulin resistance (IR) is almost constistently associated with overweight or obesity in both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects.
Nutraceutical compounds improving insulin resistance (IR) may be useful in prevention and treatment of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors in metabolic diseases.
Profile of Newborns with Bone Metabolic Disease in a Neonatal Intensive Therapy Unit
This is a retrospective and documental study with a quantitative approach, performed at the NICU of a reference hospital in Fortaleza, from November 2016 to January 2017, whose sample consisted of 30 medical records. The following variables were analyzed: weight, gestational age (GI), weight / GI adequacy, gender, Apgar score, BDM associated morbidities, ventilator support, parenteral nutrition (NTP), medicines, physiotherapeutic assistance and blood biochemical analysis. The variables were analyzed by Microsoft
Excel® 2016 to obtain absolute and percentage data.
Oxygen Balance Homeostasis and Tissue Metabolic Score (TMS) of Patients in Emergency and Critical Care Medicine
Patients admitted to the emergency room or intensive care units (ICUs) need real-time monitoring of body oxygen balance. As of today, the availability of monitoring devices that provide real-time data on tissue level of oxygen homeostasis is very limited. The involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction in many pathological states such as stroke, sepsis or heart failure is calling for a real-time evaluation of this intracellular organelle. In order to avoid the deterioration of the most vital organs in the body (brain and heart), we are proposing to monitor a less vital organ, such as the urethral wall, that serves as an early warning signal for the deterioration of body oxygen balance.
Prevalence of Subclinical Levt Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patient with Metabolic Syndrome in West Region of the Republic of Macedonia
Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) has been associated with subclinical changes in cardiac structure and function, including left
ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and is strong risk factors for the future development of clinical heart failure, and specifically
increases the risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. To date, the evidence on the prevalence of subclinical LVDD in
patient with MetS and relation to components of the MetS, in west region of the Republic of Macedonia are scarce.
Fuel Metabolism Following 3 Days on a Carbohydrate-Free Diet vs. 3 Days of Fasting in Men with Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
A 72-h fast results in a rapid decrease in circulating glucose to a lower level without a change in non-water body mass. Several metabolic adjustments are necessary. A nutrient-sufficient, carbohydrate (CHO)-free diet also has been reported to result in a decrease in glucose, and similar metabolic perturbations. However, direct comparisons are not available in subjects without, or with, type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Envisioning Molecular Network of Obesity by Omics Stratification
To date, Obesity is considered prime concern of public health with multi-dimensional factors engaged in metabolic discrepancy that is rooted from multifactorial causes (i.e., environmental intoxication or genetic abnormality), and the unmet landscape of health care system seeks for therapeutic or preventive measures. Compelling evidence support Omics as strategic tool of systemic biology is benefit to define wiring of molecular circuit in metabolic malfunction and evaluation of metabolic modulator such as synthetic drugs, stem cell replacement, and natural secondary metabolites from various resources.
Gingival Stimulation: An Important Metabolic Regulator?
This study aimed to determine whether a relationship exists between gingival stimulation and the levels of leptin, ghrelin, insulin and glucose, which are important regulators of energy homeostasis. Blood samples for ghrelin, leptin, glucose and insulin were taken from 15 male volunteers (mean age 25.5±2.3 years; mean body mass index 24.4±2.79 kg/m2), who did not brush their teeth for one day, after a 12 h-long overnight fasting and before standard breakfast (0 min) and thereafter at 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after breakfast. After toothbrushing after dinner and after a 12 h-long overnight fasting, blood samples were taken again before standard breakfast (0 min) and then after at the same time points following tooth brushing.A significant reduction was found in the leptin levels measured at 0, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min after tooth brushing (p < 0.005). The ghrelin levels also declined at these time points but were significant at 0, 30 and 120 min (p < 0.05). Despite the reduced insulin levels at 120 and 180 min after tooth brushing (p < 0.05), no significant change was observed in the glucose levels.
Perceived Barriers to Maintaining Healthy Body Weight among Saudi Women of Reproductive Age in Jeddah City
Maintaining a healthy body weight is important for overall health and can help prevent and control many chronic conditions. However, the information surrounding the barriers to healthy eating (HE) and physical activity (PA) for weight maintenance among Saudi women of reproductive age is insufficient to design and develop intervention programs. To explore personal, social, and physical environmental factors that act as barriers to maintaining a healthy weight and how these barriers vary by socio-demographic and weight status. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2014 using a stratified two-stage cluster sampling design comprising 408 Saudi women attending 12 Jeddah Primary Health Centers (JPHCCs). Data was collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of socio-demographic factors, eating habits (EHs), PA, and perceived barriers to a maintenance of healthy weight maintenance. Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) data also were obtained.
Metabolic Syndrome in Indigenous Amerindian Women in Suriname; Less on Waist and More on Weight?
The indigenous Amerindian populations living in the southern interior part of Suriname have to date largely maintained their traditional hunter-gatherer life-style. In this study we compared the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MeTS) and its component risk factors between indigenous Amerindian women of the interior of Suriname, with indigenous Amerindian women living in the coastal-rural areas who have a more urbanized lifestyle. We focused on women since the Suriname Health study showed that Indigenous women had the second highest MeTS prevalence nationwide.
