Centrally located body fat is related to appetitive hormones in healthy postmenopausal women.
OBJECTIVE Body composition and energy homeostasis are thought to affect the appetitive hormones: adiponectin, leptin, insulin, and ghrelin. This study examined whether centrally located fat and/or overall adiposity were related to these appetitive hormones in healthy postmenopausal women. DESIGN Overall and regional body composition was assessed by dual-energy X ray absorptiometry in relation...
متن کاملRelationships between Body Mass Index, Serum Leptin Levels, and 17β-Estradiol in Postmenopausal Women with Breast Cancer: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: There is a close relationship between the incidence of breast cancer and fat intake in different populations. Overweight and obesity during menopause can increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Hormones like estrogen and leptin are factors that affect the growth and proliferation of breast cells. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between body ma...
متن کاملRelationship between Basal Metabolic Rate and Serum Parathyroid Hormone and Body Composition in Women with Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Introduction: Several factors including fat free mass and fat mass can affect Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) as the largest component of daily energy demand. The aim of the current cross-sectional study was to compare BMR in women with secondary hyperparathyroidism and healthy women and to evaluate its relationship with serum Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), fat free mass and fat mass in these subjects. ...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Endogenous Androgens and Body Fat Distribution in Early and Late Postmenopausal Women
OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between endogenous androgens and body fat distribution in early and late postmenopausal women. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled postmenopausal women consisting of an early group (≤ 5 years since menopause, n = 105) and a late group (≥ 10 years since menopause, n = 107). Each group was subdivided into normal weight (BMI <24 kg/m(2)) group, overweight...
متن کاملWhole Body Vibration Effects on Body Composition in the Postmenopausal Korean Obese Women: Pilot Study
BACKGROUND Whole body vibration (WBV) confers a continuous vibration stimuli to the body. While some reports have described the effects of WBV on bone mineral density, muscle mass, muscle power, study of WBV effects on body composition in postmenopausal women is rare. The aim of this pilot study was to examine the effect of WBV on the changes of body weight and body composition in postmenopausa...
