background: metabolic syndrome (mets) is a complex clustering cardiovascular risk factors such as abdominal obesity, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia. it has been a growing health problem in iranian adults in recent decade. the objective of this article was to review the prevalence of mets and the corresponding risk factors among iranian adults.methods: we conducted a systematic review t...

The concentration of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation complexes (MOPCs) is tuned to the maximum energy conversion requirements of a given tissue; however, whether the activity of MOPCs is altered in response to acute changes in energy conversion demand is unclear. We hypothesized that MOPCs activity is modulated by tissue metabolic stress to maintain the energy-metabolism homeostasis. Me...

It is often assumed that the CNS controls movements in a manner that minimizes energetic cost. While empirical evidence for actual metabolic minimization exists in locomotion, actual metabolic cost has yet to be measured during motor learning and/or arm reaching. Here, we measured metabolic power consumption using expired gas analysis, as humans learned novel arm reaching dynamics. We hypothesi...

Background: Metabolic syndrome is an asymptomatic disorder and an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle modification and self-management of health-promoting behaviors are the most important actions in control of metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-management interventions based on cognitive behavioral group Ther...

a four day old female infant was admitted because of poor feeding, vomiting and jaundice. laboratory examination showed hyperkalemia, mild hyponatremia and renal tubular acidosis type 4. serum aldosterone and plasma renin activity were elevated but serum cortisol, 17 -hydroxyprogesterone, acth, 24 hour urinary 17- ketoste roid, pregnanetriol, renal function and sonogram were normal and hence ps...

conclusions this study provides evidence indicating high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in children with t1dm in southern iran. preventive programs aimed towards decreasing the risk factors of metabolic syndrome and interpretation of a healthier diet and physical activity for children with t1dm should be considered in our country. results in this study, 87 children with diabetes (48 females a...

This study investigated whether low levels of physical activity in different domains is associated with risk factors for the occurrence of metabolic syndrome or metabolic syndrome itself. Habitual physical activity level was assessed among 963 participants, aged 50 years old or more, using Baecke's questionnaire. Risk factors for metabolic syndrome followed the recommendations of "The IDF Conse...
