Inactivity induces increases in abdominal fat.
Previously, inducing inactivity for 53 h after 21 days of voluntary running resulted in a 25 and 48% increase in epididymal and omental fat pad weights, respectively, while rats continued to eat more than a group that never had access to a running wheel (J Physiol 565: 911-925, 2005). We wanted to test the hypothesis that inactivity, independent of excessive caloric intake, could induce an incr...
متن کاملInactivity and fat cell hyperplasia: fat chance?
IT IS NO SECRET THAT OBESITY and obesity-related metabolic disorders are rising unabated in the United States (5, 6), and this epidemic has not eluded children. From 1999 –2000 to 2003–2004, the prevalence of overweight children/adolescents increased from 13.8 to 16.0% for males and 14.0 to 18.2% for females (13). Of the three major actual causes of death (tobacco , poor diet, and physical inac...
متن کاملInactivity Produces Increases in Neurotransmitter Release and Synapse Size
When hippocampal synapses in culture are pharmacologically silenced for several days, synaptic strength increases. The structural correlate of this change in strength is an increase in the size of the synapses, with all synaptic components--active zone, postsynaptic density, and bouton--becoming larger. Further, the number of docked vesicles and the total number of vesicles per synapse increase...
متن کاملDownregulation of Kinesin Spindle Protein Inhibits Proliferation, Induces Apoptosis and Increases Chemosensitivity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells
Background: Kinesin spindle protein (KSP) plays a critical role in mitosis. Inhibition of KSP function leads to cell cycle arrest at mitosis and ultimately to cell death. The aim of this study was to suppress KSP expression by specific small-interfering RNA (siRNA) in Hep3B cells and evaluate its anti-tumor activity. Methods: Three siRNA targeting KSP (KSP-siRNA #1-3) and one mismatched-siRNA (...
متن کاملEnforced physical inactivity increases endothelial microparticle levels in healthy volunteers.
A sedentary lifestyle has adverse effects on the cardiovascular system, including impaired endothelial functions. Subjecting healthy men to 7 days of dry immersion (DI) presented a unique opportunity to analyze the specific effects of enhanced inactivity on the endothelium. We investigated endothelial properties before, during, and after 7 days of DI involving eight subjects. Microcirculatory f...
