Lactation and Maternal Cardio-Metabolic Health

Sleep and Cardio-Metabolic Disease

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarises and discusses the epidemiological evidence suggesting a causal relationship between sleep duration and cardio-metabolic risk and outcomes in population. RECENT FINDINGS Sleep duration is affected by a variety of cultural, social, psychological, behavioural, pathophysiological and environmental influences. Changes in modern society-like longer working h...

Psoriasis and Associated Cardio-metabolic Comorbidities

Endocannabinoid system and cardio-metabolic risk.

Recent research in bio-medical science has shown an integral role of endocannabinoid system (ECS) in determining cardio-metabolic risk of human body. The mechanism is mediated through binding of endocannabinoids at the CB1 receptors. The stimulation of CB1 receptor in the brain is believed to control and mediate the effects on appetite. In normal physiology, CB1 receptors activation is responsi...

Duration of lactation, maternal metabolic profile, and body composition in the Norwegian EBBA I-study.

OBJECTIVE There is conflicting evidence as to whether duration of lactation may decrease the risk of subsequent development of an unfavorable maternal metabolic profile, including overweight and obesity. We hypothesized that duration of lactation is associated with a more favorable metabolic profile and healthier anthropometric measurements. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ninety-eight parous women were...

the influence of pregnancy and lactation on maternal bone health: a systematic review.

osteoporosis is considered as an important public health problem especially in postmenopausal women. there are some hypotheses support the contributory effect of pregnancy and lactation on osteoporosis later in life. high calcium demand during pregnancy and lactation and low estrogenic state support those hypotheses. numerous studies have investigated on the issue but there is no consensus abou...
