ABSTRACT Obesity is defined as a chronic and excessive growth of adipose tissue. It has been associated with a high risk for development and progression of obesity-associated malignancies, while adipokines may mediate this association. Adiponectin is an adipose tissue-derived adipokines, with significant...
Introducción: las enfermedades reumáticas son un grupo de afecciones que se caracterizan por la presencia, generalmente, de dolor, inflamación, deformidad, discapacidad funcional y disminución de la percepción de calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Las complicaciones cardiovasculares son frec...
Abstract Neotropical nectar-feeding bats consume large amounts of sugar and use most of their energy-rich diet directly from the bloodstream, suggesting an adaptation towards lower body energy reserves. Here we tested the hypothesis that bats Glossophaga soricina spare the energy costs of storing energy...
Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem cells have immense potential in stem cell-based therapies, however there is a pre-requisite to develop a curative cell dose. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells are promising mainly due to their potential abundance, immunomodulatory effect and remarkable di...
ABSTRACT Objective: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active tissue and increased thickness is correlated with various cardiovascular diseases. There are various ways to estimate EAT. In this study, we investigated the predictive value of EAT thickness adjacent to the right coronary art...
Resumen Antecedentes y objetivos: La relación entre los depósitos de grasa corporal y las dimensiones de la aurícula izquierda (AI) no ha sido del todo explorada. Nuestro objetivo es determinar si existe relación no solo con los depósitos de grasa corporal totales, sino específicamente con los dep...
A gordura localizada é uma disfunção multifatorial, podendo ser causada pelo desenvolvimento irregular do tecido adiposo, alteração postural, circulatória ou até mesmo pela hereditariedade. A endermoterapia, o LED e a radiofrequência são amplamente aplicados na área da estética, utilizados em ...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category) score risk groups. Metho...

Há uma estreita relação entre os níveis circulantes de adiponectina, resistência à
insulina e risco cardiovascular. As evidências disponíveis que avaliaram a relação entre
adiponectina e exercício físico apresentam algumas controvérsias. Estudos recentes
mostraram que o treinamento aerób...
ABSTRACT Objective: To associate the Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2max) with body fat percentage (%BF), and to establish the best VO2max cutoff point for predicting risk %BF in teenagers. Methods: This study was carried out with 979 subjects aged 10 to 18.8 years, 556 (56.8%) girls. The 20 m shuttle run ...
