PO-185 Lifestyle intervention modify DNA methylation of adipose tissue in overweight and obese men with insomnia symptoms

2018

Objective To study whether diet and exercise intervention affect sleep and obesity-related genes’ DNA methylation in overweight and obese men with insomnia symptoms
 Methods The study participants were a subgroup of a large intervention and consisted of 10 overweight or obesity men aged 34-65 years with insomnia symptoms. They participated in a 6-month progressive aerobic exercise training and individualized dietary consoling program and were randomly selected from diet (n=4), exercise (n=3) and control (n=3) groups. Body composition included fat mass and lean mass in the whole body and abdominal android region were assessed by dual-energy X-ray densitometry. The fitness level (VO2max)…

The comparison of cold-water immersion and cold air therapy on maximal cycling performance and recovery markers following strength exercises

2016

This study examined the effects of cold-water immersion (CWI) and cold air therapy (CAT) on maximal cycling performance (i.e. anaerobic power) and markers of muscle damage following a strength training session. Twenty endurance-trained but strength-untrained male (n = 10) and female (n = 10) participants were randomised into either: CWI (15 min in 14 °C water to iliac crest) or CAT (15 min in 14 °C air) immediately following strength training (i.e. 3 sets of leg press, leg extensions and leg curls at 6 repetition maximum, respectively). Creatine kinase, muscle soreness and fatigue, isometric knee extensor and flexor torque and cycling anaerobic power were measured prior to, immediately afte…

Body mass reduction markedly improves muscle performance and body composition in obese females aged 61-75 years: comparison between the effects exert…

2004

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of a body mass reduction programme entailing diet caloric restriction and moderate physical activity with or without supplementary treatment with recombinant (r) GH or steroids to improve body composition and muscle performance in severely obese women aged 61-75 years. METHODS: Twenty women were randomly assigned to one of three groups: body mass reduction alone; body mass reduction plus rGH; body mass reduction plus nandrolone undecanoate. Body composition, isotonic muscle strength and anaerobic power output during jumping were determined before and after the 3-week period. RESULTS: Whatever the experimental group considered, body mass (P<0.01…

Effects of aerobic exercise and diet intervention on glycaemic control and liver fat content in men and women aged 50–65 years with prediabetes and n…

2016

Abstract Background Prediabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease precede development of type 2 diabetes; however, appropriate lifestyle interventions might help to prevent such progression. We aimed to test whether aerobic exercise training and a high-fibre diet can reduce hepatic fat content and increase insulin sensitivity in individuals with prediabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Methods We did a randomised controlled trial in seven clinics in Yangpu district, Shanghai, China. We recruited individuals aged 50–65 years with impaired fasting glucose (5·6–6·9 mmol/L) or impaired glucose tolerance (2 h glucose 7·8–11·0 mmol/L) and diagnosed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.…

Effects of exercise on inflammation markers in type 2 diabetic subjects

2011

Endothelial dysfunction and plasma markers of inflammation are significantly increased in type 2 diabetics. Several proinflammatory cytokines, acute-phase proteins, and cell adhesion molecules, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukines (IL), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), seem to play a role in the low-grade systemic inflammation observed in these subjects. Lifestyle changes are necessary to prevent atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events. Physical exercise is known to reduce markers of inflammation by decreasing adipocytokine production and cytokine release from skeletal muscles, endothelial cells, and immune system and also improving antioxidant status. In type 2 diabeti…

Exercise therapy for people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

2004

Exercise therapy would appear to be effective at increasing aerobic capacity and muscle strength in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and no detrimental effects on disease activity or pain compared with controls has been observed. Exercise therapy--at least in the short-term, improves pain, muscular strength and function in elderly people with mild osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip or knee. For the treatment of both OA and RA the knowledge of the optimal type, frequency, duration and intensity of exercise is still limited, but the exercise should not include high-impact loads or high injury risk. Long-term compliance is important in achieving long-term benefits. Supervised classes appea…

Physical Fitness in Postmenopausal Women with Fibromyalgia

2007

The purpose of this study was to compare physical fitness and health-related quality-of-life between twenty-three postmenopausal women with fibromyalgia (age 58 +/- 3 years) and eleven healthy women (58 +/- 5 years). Aerobic fitness and isometric force of different muscle groups were measured. Functional performance was assessed by walking and stair-climbing times. Symptoms were assessed by visual analog scale and quality-of-life by RAND-36 questionnaire. Women with fibromyalgia had significantly lower isometric force in bilateral leg extensors (1285 vs. 1898 N), unilateral knee extensors (414 vs. 502 N) and flexors (197 vs. 235 N) than healthy women, but no differences were observed in for…

Metabolism of rat liver cells during incubation in cold UW solution

1997

Simple cold storage of livers for transplantation activates glycolysis due to lack of oxygen. Energy derived from glycolysis may be critical for cell survival and liver cell death may occur once glycolysis is inhibited in the liver due to accumulation of end products or lack of substrates (glycogen). The relationship between cell death (lactate dehydrogenase, LDH release), anaerobic glycolysis (lactate production), and glycogen content of liver tissue was studied during cold incubation of liver slices in UW solution. Rat livers slices from male Sprague Dawley rats were incubated at 4 degrees C in UW solution, with continuous gentle shaking, under conditions of chemical hypoxia (KCN, 5 mM). …
