Chronological Age Interacts with the Circadian Melatonin Receptor 1B Gene Variation, Determining Fasting Glucose Concentrations in Mediterranean Popu…
2020
Gene-age interactions have not been systematically investigated on metabolic phenotypes and this modulation will be key for a better understanding of the temporal regulation in nutrigenomics. Taking into account that aging is typically associated with both impairment of the circadian system and a decrease in melatonin secretion, we focused on the melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B)-rs10830963 C>
Metabolic and cardiopulmonary effects of detraining after a structured exercise training programme in young PCOS women
2008
Summary Objective The aim of the present study was to determine if the favourable cardiopulmonary and metabolic benefits induced by exercise training (ET) programme are maintained after its cessation. Patients Thirty-two young overweight polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women matched for age and body mass index (BMI) with other 32 PCOS patients was enrolled. The first group [PCOS-T (trained)] underwent 24-week ET programme, whereas the second [PCOS-DT (detrained)] underwent 12-week ET programme followed by 12-week detraining period. Methods At baseline, after 12- and 24-week follow-up, all PCOS women were studied for their hormonal (ovarian and adrenal androgens), metabolic (glucose and …
Effects Of Combined Strength And Endurance Training On Physical Performance And Biomarkers Of Healthy Young Women
2018
Kyröläinen, H, Hackney, AC, Salminen, R, Repola, J, Häkkinen, K, and Haimi, J. Effects of combined strength and endurance training on physical performance and biomarkers of healthy young women. J Strength Cond Res 32(6): 1554– 1561, 2018—Cardiovascular fitness has decreased and obesity has increased in young adults worldwide during the last 10 years. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find out optimal exercise training programs for improving physical performance and health outcomes, especially among sedentary women. Subjects were 25- to 30-year-old women with a very low physical activity, and 65% of them were overweight (body mass index . 25). They performed endurance and strength traini…
Effect of training with Supejump® on bone metabolism in women
2021
Physical exercise is recommended to decrease bone loss in elderly women. Supejump® is a new workout activity performed on a modified elastic mini trampoline that mixes aerobic and anaerobic exercises. The aim of the study was to investigate the long-term effects of training with Supejump® on bone metabolism in women. Twelve women were involved in the study. They performed Supejump®, three times a week, each session lasting 60 mins for a total of 20-weeks. Blood samples were collected at baseline and at the end of the 20-weeks of training. The biomarkers of bone resorption (c-terminal telopeptide region of collagen type 1 (β-CTX)), bone formation (osteocalcin), and calcitonin, parathyroid ho…

Effect of female genital schistosomiasis and anti-schistosomal treatment on monocytes, CD4+ T-cells and CCR5 expression in the female genital tract
2014
Published version of an article from the journal: PLoS One. Also available from the publisher: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0098593 BACKGROUND: Schistosoma haematobium is a waterborne parasite that may cause female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), characterized by genital mucosal lesions. There is clinical and epidemiological evidence for a relationship between FGS and HIV. We investigated the impact of FGS on HIV target cell density and expression of the HIV co-receptor CCR5 in blood and cervical cytobrush samples. Furthermore we evaluated the effect of anti-schistosomal treatment on these cell populations. DESIGN: The study followed a case-control design with post treatment follow…
Living in a Cul-de-Sac: Women's representation and gender identity in Desperate Housewives
2010
Median tuottamat representaatiot vaikuttavat paljon siihen, miten ihmiset käsittävät todellisuuden. Tutkimalla representaatioita ja niiden vaikutuksia voidaan tuoda esille ideologiat ja valta-suhteet jotka vaikuttavat representaatioiden takana. Representaatiot eivät siis ole neutraaleja esityksiä, vaan niillä on aina oma näkökulmansa todellisuuteen. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on havainnollistaa naisten representointia mediassa ja tuoda esille sukupuoli-identiteetin rakentumista representaatioissa. Aineistona tutkimuksessa on käytetty tv-sarjan Täydelliset Naiset viittä jaksoa neljänneltä tuotantokaudelta. Sarjan ajankohtaisuus, suosio, laajalevikkeisyys sekä naishahmojen runsaus toim…

The Affective Turn and Sacred Femininity in African American Women's Literature
2017
Després del llarg viatge a través de l’Atlàntic a bord dels vaixells esclavistes, els africans van veure’s obligats a enfrontar-se a la seua completa alienació física, social i també espiritual en les terres de l’anomenat ‘Nou Món’. La seua anterior concepció de l’univers com a un lloc on poden exisitir-hi un ventall il·limitat de déus es va veure estroncat per la imposició social d’un univers on l’esclau va perdre tant el seu sentit d’espai com de temps. Així doncs, la evolució històrica del poble afroamericà s’esmerça en conrear una concepció sagrada del seu entorn des del mateix moment en que arriben a terres americanes. Aquesta obligada gestació espiritual els commina a acollir i, alhor…
