Evaluation of Stress and Associated Biochemical Changes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity
Published in Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy
Purpose Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a metabolic disorder, remains associated with a physiological impairment affecting large populations worldwide. Onset of T2DM is multifactorial where obesity and abnormal basal metabolic rate are considered most critical. Of people diagnosed with T2DM, about 80% are also obese. It is also reported that obese...
Keep Calm and Carry On: The Relations Between Narrative Coherence, Trauma, Social Support, Psychological Well-Being, and...
Published in Frontiers in Psychology
In order to explain trauma resilience, previous research has been investigating possible risk and protective factors, both on an individual and a contextual level. In this experimental study, we examined narrative coherence and social support in relation to trauma resilience. Participants were asked to write about a turning point memory, after whic...
Influence of psychological stress on non-surgical periodontal treatment outcomes in patients with severe chronic periodo...
Published in Journal of periodontology
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of psychological stress on non-surgical periodontal treatment (SRP) outcomes in patients with severe chronic periodontitis (stage 3/4 generalized periodontitis) at 6 months in the French population. Patients diagnosed with severe generalized chronic periodontitis (periodontitis stage 3/4) were inc...
Cortisol Levels of Shelter Dogs in Animal Assisted Interventions in a Prison: An Exploratory Study
Published in Animals : an Open Access Journal from MDPI
Simple Summary Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI) are growing in popularity among professionals of psychological therapies due to their clear benefit for human health. However, to date, little attention has been paid to the welfare of the animals involved in the interventions. In this study we evaluated the potential impact of such activities on t...
The effect of specific binding proteins on immunoassay measurements of total and free thyroid hormones and cortisol
Published in Therapeutic Advances in Endocrinology and Metabolism
Background: Immunoassay (IA) measurements of thyroid hormones have previously given inaccurate results of triiodothyronine (T3), free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (FT4) when concentrations of TBG are low. We evaluate the hypothesis that abnormal concentrations of specific binding proteins (BPs) affect IA measurements and provide resul...
Preliminary Results: The Impact of Smartphone Use and Short-Wavelength Light during the Evening on Circadian Rhythm, Sle...
Published in Clocks & Sleep
Smartphone usage strongly increased in the last decade, especially before bedtime. There is growing evidence that short-wavelength light affects hormonal secretion, thermoregulation, sleep and alertness. Whether blue light filters can attenuate these negative effects is still not clear. Therefore, here, we present preliminary data of 14 male partic...
Associations Between Morning Salivary and Blood Cortisol Concentrations in Individuals With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Synd...
Published in Frontiers in Endocrinology
Background Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) may be associated with an increase in hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis activity (HPA AA). We reviewed research comparing morning salivary and blood (serum and plasma) cortisol concentrations of individuals with OSAS to those of healthy controls. Methods We made a systematic search without...
Endocrine Fertility Parameters—Genomic Background and Their Genetic Relationship to Boar Taint in German Landrace and La...
Published in Animals : an Open Access Journal from MDPI
Simple Summary Breeding against boar taint compounds androstenone and skatole can be an efficient alternative for surgical castration of young piglets during their first week of life to avoid boar taint. Physiological links of androstenone to steroid hormones in the synthesis pathway are documented and they have to be analyzed for their genetic eff...
