Inflammation and oxidative stress in heart failure: effects of exercise intensity and duration

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 50 (9), 2017
Although acute exercise is apparently pro-inflammatory and increases oxidative stress, it can promote the necessary stress stimulus to train chronic adaptations in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). This study aimed to compare the effects of exercise intensity and duration on the inflammatory mar...

Glycemic control and adipokines after periodontal therapy in patients with Type 2 diabetes and chronic periodontitis

Abstract: The mechanism by which chronic periodontitis (CP) affects type 2 diabetes (T2DM) remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of periodontal therapy (PT) on the glycemic control and adipokines of patients with T2DM and CP with the purpose of elucidating the possi...

Preliminary analysis of interleukin-6 changes in pre- and postoperative in diabetic patients with bmi <35 submitted to partial duodenal switch

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 29 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Background: Studies related to obesity have shown association with metabolic syndrome. Data showing that obesity is capable to cause low grade chronic inflammation, without its classic signs and symptoms, call attention to researches to study different cells types and the mechanism of the infl...
