BACKGROUND
Dietary guidelines generally recommend increasing fish intake and reducing red meat intake for better long-term health. Few studies have compared the metabolic differences between eating meat and fish.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to determine whether there are differences in
Obesity is currently considered to be a world epidemic and one of the major public health problems in many countries, whose incidence is increasing at alarming rates. Genetically obese Zucker rats are used as a model of obesity and were employed in the present study. Tendons transmit contractile
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are used widely for the treatment of heart failure. However, their use in obese and insulin-resistant patients remains controversial. To clarify their potential efficacy in these conditions, we administered azilsartan medoxomil (azilsartan), a prodrug of an
OBJECTIVE
Severe energy restriction in the treatment of obesity is limited by catabolism of body protein stores and, consequently, loss of lean as well as fat tissue. Growth hormone (GH), whose secretion is markedly impaired in obesity, is endowed with both lipolytic and protein anabolic properties.
The surgical treatment of obesity can have adverse effects on bone, but there are few published data on the effects of vertical-banded gastroplasty. Serial measurements of bone mineral density at the lumbar spine and three upper femoral sites, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and also of
The degree of bone mineralization, estimated as the bone phosphorus/hydroxyproline ratio (P/Hypro), was studied in 33 patients who had undergone jejunoileal bypass surgery for massive obesity. Low values of bone P/Hypro are expected in osteomalacia. We found an elevated mean bone P/Hypro (p < 0.001)
The advancement of liposculpturing and fascial flaps in reconstructive surgery has renewed interest in the superficial fascia of abdomen. Its histological and biochemical composition may play a vital role in maintaining strength and elasticity of the fascia. Hence, study of abdominal fascia for the
Serum osteocalcin and alkaline phosphatase levels, as indexes of bone formation, and urinary calcium and hydroxyproline excretions relative to creatinine, as indexes of bone resorption, were measured in 10 obese women before and after two months of hypocaloric diet. In basal condition, serum
Twenty-three obese subjects who had undergone intestinal bypass operation (end-to-side jejunostomy) were studied with respect to vitamin D and other indices of calcium metabolism. Group 1 (11 patients) was examined before and one year after operation. Group 2 (12 patients, bypass operated two to
The effect of 2 months of treatment with the oral growth hormone (GH) secretagogue MK-677 on markers of bone metabolism was determined in healthy obese male subjects. This was a randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled study. Twenty-four healthy obese males, 19-49 years of age, with
Background: Bariatric surgeries have been shown to be effective in reversing damaged pulmonary function in individuals suffering from obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, whereas its underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown.
The effects of dietary carbohydrate (CHO) content and of tri-iodothyronine (T3) administration on calcium, zinc and phosphate balances and on urinary hydroxyproline output were examined in eight obese subjects undergoing therapy with low energy (2741-3301 kJ/day), high calcium (28.9-35.1 mmol/day)
