Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of risk factors for chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). These risk factors include obesity (particularly abdominal obesity), high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
Type 2 (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share many risk factors, whose accumulation over years lead to disease onset. However, while lowering plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) is cardio-protective, novel evidence over the past 10 years established a role for common
Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) . The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally, resulting in the ongoing
PURPOSE:
To determine the effectiveness of low level laser therapy on insulin resistance and inflammatory biomarkers in obese postmenopausal breast cancer risk women
BACKGROUND:
The American Obesity Association (2002, 2003) defines obesity as 'a complex, multifactorial chronic disease involving
American adults have a high prevalence of overweight, obesity and prediabetes. Small weight loss delays the progression to type 2 diabetes and decreases cardiovascular risk, yet adherence to long-term calorie restriction is difficult to sustain. There is an urgency to find effective,
Anthropometric measurements were conducted with the subjects wearing light clothing and no shoes. Weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kg and height to the nearest 0.5 cm. BMI was calculated as weight divided by height squared (kg/m2 ). Obesity was defined as BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2. Waist circumference
Defects in mitochondrial β-oxidation and branched chain amino acid (BCAA) oxidation are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and other conditions such as Huntington's disease and maple syrup urine disease. Because of these defective mitochondrial pathways, production of TCA cycle intermediates can
One of the main factors influencing health is nutrition. Therefore, lifestyle and more specifically healthy eating habits, are key elements for the promotion of healthy lifestyle in society. Eating habits are defined as the more or less conscious, collective and repetitive behaviour that leads
In every surgical subspeciality surgical site or implants infections are not common but potentially devastating for patients health. One of the most known risk factors of such state is glucose metabolism disorders. Such pathologies, containing diabetes mellitus, are considered one of the most
With the introduction of effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-infected persons can now survive for decades, but this success has been accompanied by an increased risk of developing metabolic disease compared HIV-negative persons. In the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study, HIV-infected men had a
HIV-infected individuals on long-term ART treatment are at increased risk for many diseases, particularly diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease, which are more commonly associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. As HIV patients are now living longer on effective treatment, a growing
Obesity-related inflammation is central to the development of type 2 diabetes and potentiated by advancing age, inactive behavior and sedentary lifestyle. Metabolism and immunity are entangled in their respective effects: the pathways of inflammation are involved in metabolism and the metabolic
