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

Design: Randomized treatment control trial, double-blind, parallel, with two arms. Sample: Ninety-six hospitalized women between 18 and 52 years will participate in this study. Those who agree to participate in the study and meet the eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated to one of the

Prospective, monocentric pilot and comparative (before and after) study in simple blind (assessor different from the operator). - The effectiveness of cryotherapy will be evaluated by the metric measurement of the treated areas: waist circumference, from the hips to the level of the saddlebags. -

Twenty-five percent of the United States population has nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a disease that includes hepatic fatty infiltration alone (simple steatosis) or steatosis plus inflammation, liver cell injury and death (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [NASH]). NAFLD involving hepatic

The aim of the study is to assess changes in substrate kinetics, that is, lipolytic rate, rate of appearance and disappearance of free fatty acids, fatty acid oxidation, glucose rate of appearance and disappearance and protein synthesis and degradation during rest and exercise with and without IL-6

STUDY BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND RATIONALE Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD): With an estimated global prevalence of 25% among adults, NAFLD is now the commonest chronic liver disease; its progressive form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), has been estimated to affect 1.5%-6.5% of the

During the last decade, several G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) that respond to dietary lipid metabolites including free fatty acids (FFAs) have been discovered. These receptors have been implicated in metabolic processes and inflammation. Consequently, several of the receptors have attracted

The adipose tissue is the main energetic reserve, being constituted by adipocytes, cells that accumulate lipids inside its cytoplasm, in the form of triglycerides. Fat deposition can occur both in the subcutaneous compartment and in the visceral compartment and is the result of a positive energy

Girls with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and hepatic steatosis (HS) will complete a 12 week double-blinded placebo controlled cross-over study with 4 weeks each of an essential amino acid (EAA) supplement and placebo, and will complete metabolic studies after each intervention. There will be a

A major focus of this program of research will be directed at advancing the understanding of the metabolic consequences of obesity and puberty in adolescents with T1D. Thus, an innovative aspect of this research is that it will be the first to use these sophisticated metabolic techniques to examine

The adipose tissue is the main energetic reserve, being constituted by adipocytes, cells that accumulate lipids inside its cytoplasm, in the form of triglycerides. Fat deposition can occur both in the subcutaneous compartment and in the visceral compartment and is the result of a positive energy

Screening: If a potential subject meets the eligibility criteria after completing the general pre-screening questionnaire, they will be contacted to set up an in-person screening visit where the comprehensive written informed consent will be obtained. This visit may occur either at the Michigan

Overweight and obesity increase the risk of developing several diseases having a negative effect on people's health. The prevalence of these conditions is increasing worldwide, but successful treatments are lacking. As excess body weight is a result of an imbalance between calories in and calories

First of all, the omega-3 free fatty acids have an important effect for lowering triglycerides through three potential mechanisms such as: Inhibition of triacylglycerol synthesis as direct inhibition of diacyl glycerol acetyl transferase and phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase results in lowering

Metformin and physical activity are often recommended as the first therapeutic agents to improve glycemic control for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (ADA). It has been reported that metformin decrease plasma concentration of non-esterified fatty acids in patients with type 2 diabetes which might be
