Sedentary life invites various diseases. Especially cardiovascular diseases are the leading ones. Researches show that the rapid development of technology has pushed people to laziness and therefore to immobility. A sedentary lifestyle causes many serious health problems. Many diseases such as
AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of disorders characterized by lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. These conditions range from fat accumulation in the liver (hepatosteatosis) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which in turn, increases the risk for cirrhosis
Vitamin D receptor gene mutations have been associated with increased incidence of arterial hypertension. While, hyperlipidemia and lipoprotein oxidation in bone is leading to osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoblastic differentiation It has been reported that vitamin D supplementation has shown
Rationale: Individuals with motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) undergo dramatic changes in body composition in the first 18 months post-injury, including declines in bone mineral density (BMD) that increase lower-extremity fragility fracture risk, and increases in fat mass that increase
Participants will perform resistance exercise for 8 weeks and measurements (anthropometric, electromyography, pulse wave velocity, strength test, dual x-ray absorptiometry, blood enzymes/hormones, and sleep, diet, memory surveys) will be performed pre- and post-exercise program.
At inclusion the following will be investigated and recorded :
- demographic and personal medical history.
- Familial medical history related to osteoporosis, cardiovascular disorders and thromboembolism.
- Current medical treatment.
- Physical examination.
- Assessment of basal 24hrs urinary
Background Childhood obesity is one of the most serious global public health challenges of the 21st century (Daniels et al., 2009). Mexico has the highest prevalence of obesity, worldwide; 34.4% of children and 35% of adolescents are overweight or obese (ENSANUT 2012). Among other complications,
Hypothesis: DHA treatment would be able to revert, at least partially, the lipid disturbances associated with HAART and to improve or at least not to worse fat redistribution associated with HAART, without inducing further derangements to dendritic cells and monocyte functional ability.

Impaired muscle strength has been reported in subjects with type 1 and type 2 diabetes as a late complication of severe diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). However, reduction of muscle strength has been shown to occur earlier in the course of diabetes, independent of DPN. Individuals with diabetes

Lowering of testosterone levels, by medications or surgery (Androgen Deprivation Therapy or ADT), is commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer. The adverse effects of low testosterone include decreased sex drive, impotence, decreased lean body mass and muscle strength, increased fat mass,
