Evidence of growth hormone effect on plasma leptin in diet-induced obesity and diet-resistant rats
Published in Asian Biomedicine
Background Plasma leptin is regulated by several factors, including growth hormone (GH), which influences the pathophysiology of obesity. Objective To demonstrate the short-term effect of GH on plasma leptin levels in 3 conditions in vivo with the different amount of body fat mass. Methods Adult male Wistar rats were fed with standard chow or hyper...
Why are individuals with autism spectrum disorder at risk group for unhealthy weight?
Published in Anthropological Review
Several studies have indicated that the prevalence of unhealthy body weight in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is high. It is unclear whether factors related to the weight status of children and adolescents with ASD are the same or different from factors associated with the weight status of typically developing children (TDC). The o...
Memory impairments and increased GFAP expression in hippocampal astrocytes following hypercaloric diet in rats
ABSTRACT Objective: Hypothalamic inflammation and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) overexpression in astrocytes are well described in obese animals, as are some cognitive and memory deficits. As the hippocampus plays important roles in the consolidation of information, this investigation aimed to observe the memory function and the astrocyte ...
Ilex paraguariensis extract prevents body weight gain in rats fed a high-fat diet
...
ABSTRACT Studies have shown that drinks containing Ilex paraguariensis extract can promote many benefits in animals and in humans. The present study aimed to evaluate in vivo effects of Ilex paraguariensis extract on metabolic profile, obesity prevention and expression of genes related with adipogenesis and lipogenesis in Wistar female rats fed a h...
Diet Quality and Micronutrient Intake in Long-Term Weight Loss Maintainers
Objective: This study’s purpose was to examine dietary quality, macronutrient intake, and micronutrient adequacy among long term weight loss maintainers (WLM) in a commercial weight management program. Methods: Participants were 1,207 WLM in WW (formerly Weight Watchers) who had maintained a 9.1 kg or greater weight loss (29.7 kg on average) for 3....
Liraglutide exerts an anti-inflammatory action in obese patients with type 2 diabetes
Published in Romanian Journal of Internal Medicine
Introduction. Liraglutide (L) is the analogue of human glucagon-like peptide 1 which stimulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion and can modify the level of inflammatory biomarkers. L can influence NF-kB inflammatory cascade, but the mechanisms of anti-inflammatory activities of L remain to be determined. In animal models L influenced an activit...
The Complication Rates of Oral Anticoagulation Therapy in Deep Venous Thrombosis
Published in Acta Medica Marisiensis
The objective of the current study is to evaluate the complication rates (embolic and hemorrhagic events) in deep venous thrombosis (DVT) patients on different types of oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC): direct oral anticoagulant therapy and vitamin K antagonist therapy. Methods: A number of 62 DVT patients were included and divided in two groups,...

Association between inflammation, oxidative stress, vitamin D, copper and zinc with pre-obesity and obesity in school ch...
Published in Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism
Background Childhood obesity is a serious health condition with increasing rates worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between inflammation, oxidative stress, vitamin D, copper and zinc in pre-obese and obese children compared to controls. Methods The study involved 202 children aged 7–15 years (63.9% boys), randomly c...
