Effect of 2 years of endurance and high-impact training on preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women: randomized clinical trial.
2018
The aim of the study was to analyze the effects of endurance and high-impact training oriented toward preventing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women with calcium and vitamin D supplementation.This study was a randomized clinical trial. Thirty-six postmenopausal women were randomized to the control and experimental groups. Thirty-four women completed the 2-year interventions. The control group training involved walking at an intense pace. The experimental group conducted high-impact training specifically oriented to prevent osteoporosis. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry was used to estimate the T-scores of the lumbar spine and femoral neck.The fast-walking group showed constant T-scores in …
A meta-review of “lifestyle psychiatry”: the role of exercise, smoking, diet and sleep in the prevention and treatment of mental disorders
2020
There is increasing academic and clinical interest in how "lifestyle factors" traditionally associated with physical health may also relate to mental health and psychological well-being. In response, international and national health bodies are producing guidelines to address health behaviors in the prevention and treatment of mental illness. However, the current evidence for the causal role of lifestyle factors in the onset and prognosis of mental disorders is unclear. We performed a systematic meta-review of the top-tier evidence examining how physical activity, sleep, dietary patterns and tobacco smoking impact on the risk and treatment outcomes across a range of mental disorders.

Water and Sodium in Heart Failure: A Spotlight on Congestion.
2014
Despite all available therapies, the rates of hospitalization and death from heart failure (HF) remain unacceptably high. The most common reasons for hospital admission are symptoms related to congestion. During hospitalization, most patients respond well to standard therapy and are discharged with significantly improved symptoms. Post-discharge, many patients receive diligent and frequent follow-up. However, rehospitalization rates remain high. One potential explanation is a persistent failure by clinicians to adequately manage congestion in the outpatient setting. The failure to successfully manage these patients post-discharge may represent an unmet need to improve the way congestion is …
Evaluation of “Stress Relief” Dietary Supplement on Animal Stress Level and Locomotion
2018
Abstract Search of new approaches for harmless, non-medication treatment of body dysfunctions is still on the agenda of vet and human practitioners and researchers as well. This study presents evaluation of the effect of “Stress Relief” dietary supplement (SR) on mice behaviour under different acute short-term stress conditions and treatment duration. Five experiments were performed and in each 40 animals were randomly split into four (I–IV) groups, where I and II — non-stressed mice, III and IV — stressed animals, I and III received water with trace mineral solution (TMS), II and IV received water with SR. As stress factors, forced swimming, rodent predator odour or both together were appl…
Transdermal estrogens do not appear to modify the extent of lesional areas of aortic atherosclerosis in oophorectomized rabbits on a cholesterol-rich…
2000
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in older women in industrialised countries. It has been suggested that it is the cessation of estrogen production by the ovaries that puts postmenopausal women at increased risk of CVD. Estrogen therapy has demonstrated a protective effect against CVD and several reports suggest that diverse mechanisms may be involved. Oral estrogen appears to be associated with a better lipid profile than the use of transdermal estrogens; however, it is assumed that estrogens, oral and non-oral, have direct actions on the blood vessels that may exert an important role in cardiovascular disease prevention. To investigate the effect of transdermal es…
The effect of dietary phosphorus deficiency on the immune responses of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus L.)
2003
Low phosphorous (P) feeds in aquaculture are recommended to reduce eutrophication of water systems. However, the feed should be adequate for normal growth and intact immune defence. Influence of low dietary P supply on non-specific and specific immune defence of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) was studied in two trials. For Trial 1, a semi-purified, low-P diet was formulated and supplied with 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, or 10.0 g P kg(-1)to obtain a P gradient of 4.4-14.9 g kg(-1)diet. Diets were fed to four replicate groups of fingerling whitefish for 42 days in a flow-through, freshwater system maintained at 15 degrees C. Fish fed with the P-unsupplemented diet had significantly lower plas…
„JESTEŚ TYM, CO JESZ” : o potędze „czystej” diety
2022
W artykule opisana została jedna z bardziej popularnych obecnie diet, określana mianem prozdrowotnej, tak zwana czysta dieta. Polega ona na eliminacji dostarczania organizmowi między innymi żywności przetworzonej, którą uznaje się za nieczystą, a tym samym szkodliwą i niebezpieczną dla zdrowia człowieka. Obszarem badań objęto blogi i strony internetowe poświęcone temu zagadnieniu, a także wpisy w mediach społecznościowych. W tekście wskazuje się na kulturowe konteksty czystej diety, powody jej popularności, jej powiązanie ze stylem życia i aksjologizowaniem pokarmów oraz na konsekwencje, do jakich stosowanie czystej diety może doprowadzić.
Association of low 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations with elevated parathyroid hormone concentrations and low cortical bone density in early puberta…
2003
Background: Very few studies have evaluated both parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and their effects on bone mass in children. Objective: We studied the associations of serum 25(OH)D and intact PTH (iPTH) with bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) at different bone sites and the relation between serum 25(OH)D and iPTH in early pubertal and prepubertal Finnish girls. Design: The subjects were 10‐12-y-old girls (n = 193) at Tanner stage 1 or 2, who reported a mean (± SD) dietary calcium intake of 733 ± 288 mg/d. 25(OH)D, iPTH, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP 5b), urinary calcium excretion, BMC, areal BMD, and volumetric BMD were asses…
Percepción del sabor, dieta mediterránea y nutrigenética: efecto sobre los componentes del síndrome metabólico
2012
Una misma dieta no tiene el mismo efecto sobre el fenotipo cardiovascular de personas distintas. La hipótesis dieta-lípidos-corazón planteada en los años cincuenta sugiere que el consumo de un patrón de dieta mediterránea confiere efectos cardioprotectores al reducir la prevalencia de obesidad abdominal y síndrome metabólico en diferentes poblaciones. Actualmente se admite que la relación entre dieta y enfermedad cardiovascular es más compleja, que se extiende a todos los componentes alimenticios, y que depende en alto grado, de la susceptibilidad genética individual. Los individuos que se adhieren a los principios de una dieta tradicional mediterránea tienen una mayor calidad de vida y una…
New developments in the pathogenesis of obesity-induced hypertension
2015
Obesity is a disorder that develops from the interaction between genotype and environment involving social, behavioral, cultural, and physiological factors. Obesity increases the risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, chronic kidney and pulmonary disease. Although obesity is clearly associated with an increased prevalence of hypertension, many obese individuals may not develop hypertension. Protecting factors may exist and it is important to understand why obesity is not always related to hypertension. The aim of this review is to highlight the knowledge gap for the association between obesity, hypertension, and potential …
