Brief interventions in counselling for nutrition and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in primary care adult patients
2018
This research i) examined the influence of a brief nutrition-based intervention among primary care patients in changing nutrition and clinical values related to metabolic syndrome (study 1), and ii) assessed nutrition and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its clinical determinants among primary care patients in different sociodemographic groups (study 2). In study 1, a systematic literature review was conducted on eight databases during Sept.-Oct. 2016 with a final update in Nov. 2017. In study 2, data (n=557 for RO II-III, n=251 for RO IV-V) collected in primary care practices in Central Finland in 2006-2008 for the EVI study were analysed using Chi-Square test, GLM and Logistic Reg…
Non-melancholic depressive symptoms are associated with above average fat mass index in the Helsinki birth cohort study
2022
AbstractThere is an existing link between two of the most common diseases, obesity and depression. These are both of great public health concern, but little is known about the relationships between the subtypes of these conditions. We hypothesized that non-melancholic depressive symptoms have a stronger relationship with both body composition (lean mass and fat mass) and dysfunctional glucose metabolism than melancholic depression. For this cross-sectional study 1510 participants from the Helsinki Birth Cohort Study had their body composition evaluated as lean mass and fat mass (Lean Mass Index [LMI, kg/m2] + Fat Mass Index [FMI kg/m2] = Body Mass Index). Participants were evaluated for dep…
Effects of high-fat diet and physical activity on pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4 in mouse skeletal muscle
2012
Background. The expression of PDK4 is elevated by diabetes, fasting and other conditions associated with the switch from the utilization of glucose to fatty acids as an energy source. It is previously shown that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α), a master regulator of energy metabolism, coactivates in cell lines pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-4 (PDK4) gene expression via the estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα). We investigated the effects of long-term high-fat diet and physical activity on the expression of PDK4, PGC-1α and ERRα and the amount and function of mitochondria in skeletal muscle. Methods. Insulin resistance was induced by a high-fat (HF) diet for…
Hera- ja proteiinijuomadieettien ja liikunnan vaikutukset aineenvaihduntaan ja kehonkoostumukseen rotilla
2015
Niina Karstunen (2015). Hera- ja proteiinijuomadieettien ja liikunnan vaikutukset aineenvaihduntaan ja kehonkoostumukseen rotilla. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Liikuntafysiologian pro gradu-tutkielma, 43 s. Elimistön liiallinen rasvamassa aiheuttaa häiriöitä glukoosi- ja rasva-aineenvaihdunnassa. Proteiinipitoisella ruokavaliolla ja liikunnalla on todettu olevan suotuisia vaikutuksia kehonkoostumukseen sekä glukoosi- ja rasva-aineenvaihduntaan. Proteiineista heraproteiinilla on saavutettu parhaat tulokset tutkimuksissa, jotka koskevat lihavuudesta johtuvien sairauksien ja niiden riskitekijöiden ehkäisemistä. Tutkimuksessa tutkittiin hera- ja proteiinijuomadieettien ja lii…
Exercise precision medicine for type 2 diabetics : Targeted benefit or risk?
2023
Concurrent exercise and metformin administration may reduce the acute and chronic effects of exercise on glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, several studies suggest that combing metformin and exercise treatment may have no additive effect and even cause adverse effects in T2D patients. This case report aimed to highlight the challenges associated with prescribing exercise to type 2 diabetes patients undergoing metformin treatment. A 67-years old woman was followed-up for 5 months, including assessment of the acute and chronic glucose and lactate metabolism induced by concomitant exercise and metformin. The findings were four-fold: 1) During a high-intensity i…
