Objective: Female metabolism is highly responding towards diet associated changes. Monosodium glutamate is a popular flavor enhancer, which is widely used to develop umami taste. Young female generation nowadays deals with more issues related to metabolism and fertility. Present study is an effort to monitor the effect of monosodium glutamate oral consumption on female mice health and obesity. ...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is highly associated with hypertension. However, the correlation between hypertension and OSA at different levels of severity and the influence of gender on that correlation are unclear. A total of 996 patients (776 males and 190 females) with OSA were recruited. The influence of gender on the correlation between hypertension and OSA at different stratifications of...

In developed countries, the increasing incidence of obesity is a serious health problem. Leptin exposure in the perinatal period affects long-term regulation of appetite and energy expenditure, but control of leptin production in utero is unclear. This study investigated perirenal adipose tissue (PAT) and placental leptin expression in ovine fetuses during late gestation and after manipulation ...

Abstract Objectives Previous studies from the developed countries showed that children born very low birth weight have a higher risk of hypertension compared with normal controls. However, regarding prevalence in such developing are scarce. This study aimed to identify perinatal and postnatal factors associated weight. Results Forty-six aged ≥ 6 years VLBW cohort Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok, ...

OBJECTIVE In recent analyses of data from a large community sample, negative cross-sectional and prospective associations between cardiac stress reactivity and obesity were observed. The present study reexamined the association between cardiovascular reactivity and adiposity in the Dutch Famine Birth Cohort, with the additional aim of examining the association between cortisol reactivity and ad...

background : we aimed to compare hemodynamic and endocrine alterations caused by stress response due to proseal laryngeal mask airway and endotracheal tube usage in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. methods : sixty-three asa i-ii patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. patients were randomly allocated into two groups of endotracheal tube and proseal ...

OBJECTIVE To explore inflammatory factors that influence symptom changes in interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome (IC or BPS). This longitudinal, prospective study examined the association of inflammation elicited by Toll-like receptor (TLR) stimulation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and diurnal cortisol rhythms with changes in painful and urinary symptoms of IC or BPS a...

Police officers are required to work irregular hours, which induces stress, fatigue, and sleep disruption, and they have higher rates of chronic disease and mortality. Cortisol is a well-known "stress hormone" produced via activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. An abnormal secretion pattern has been associated with immune system dysregulation and may serve as an early indicator ...
