Vitamina D, inhibidor de la proteasa leucocitaria secretora (SLPI) y obesidad en mujeres adultas mayores: estudio preliminar
Vitamin D, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) and obesity in elder women: preliminary study

Actual. osteol; 20 (1), 2024
La vitamina D tiene acciones antiinflamatorias y aumenta la expresión de péptidos antimicrobianos. Niveles bajos de 25 hidroxivitamina D (25OHD) se relacionan con la obesidad. El inhibidor secretor de proteasa leucocitaria (SLPI) es un péptido serina proteasa no glicosilado con actividad a...

Tejido adiposo epicárdico en personas que viven con VIH: ¿una ventana hacia el riesgo cardiovascular?

Actual. SIDA. infectol; 31 (111), 2023
Introducción: En las personas que viven con el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (PVVIH) se han descripto desregulaciones metabólicas que podrían vincularse a un mayor riesgo cardiovascular.Objetivo: Evaluar el espesor del tejido adiposo epicárdico (ETAE) y la relación del mismo con parámetros c...

C/EBPb converts bovine fibroblasts to adipocytes without hormone cocktail induction

BACKGROUND: Adipogenesis and fibrogenesis can be considered as a competitive process in muscle, which may affect the intramuscular fat deposition. The CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPb) plays an important role in adipogenesis, which is well-characterized in mice, but little known in bovine so f...

High-sugar diet leads to obesity and metabolic diseases in ad libitum -fed rats irrespective of caloric intake

ABSTRACT Objective Provide a comprehensive view of the events surrounding the sugar consumption, under conditions of energy equivalence; through the analysis of behavioral aspects of intake, and of biochemical, metabolic and physiological parameters, as well as the effect of this nutrient on the plastic...

Parâmetros morfométricos e quantitativos de tecidos adiposos de ratos alimentados com resíduos de lichia

Objetivo: avaliar os parâmetros morfométricos e a quantidade de tecidos adiposos de ratos alimentados com resíduos da lichia. Métodos: na etapa 1, os animais foram divididos em grupo C (controle) e grupo H (dieta hipercalórica); enquanto, na etapa 2, os animais do grupo C permaneceram neste grupo, e...

The effect of testosterone replacement on intramedullary, inguinal and visceral fat in ovariectomized rats

Abstract Objective The present article aims to evaluate the impact of testosterone treatment on the expansion of visceral, subcutaneous and intramedullary adipose tissue of ovariectomized rats and the visceral and subcutaneous fat expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) gamma....

Moderate intensity swimming training on bone mineral density preservation under food restriction in female rats

Motriz (Online); 26 (4), 2020
Abstract Aim: To investigate the effect of moderate-intensity swimming training on bone mineral density under a 20% food restriction (FR) schedule for 12 weeks in female rats. Methods: Forty female Wistar rats were distributed into four groups: control (CG), exercised (EG), food restriction (FRG), and...

Bioelectrical vector analysis in obese adolescents

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the hydration of obese and non-obese adolescents by vectorial bioimpedance analysis, in addition to verifying the associations between obesity and bioelectrical impedance vectorial analysis (BIVA) parameters. Methods: A cross-sectional study with adolescents between 14...

Memory impairments and increased GFAP expression in hippocampal astrocytes following hypercaloric diet in rats

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 77 (9), 2019
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 ...

Low energy reserves are associated with fasting susceptibility in Neotropical nectar bats Glossophaga soricina

Braz. j. biol; 79 (2), 2019
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...
