OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of krill oil on blood lipids, specifically total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). METHODS A multi-center, three-month, prospective, randomized study followed by a three-month, controlled follow-up of patients treated with 1 g and 1.5 g krill oil daily. Patients with hyperlipidemia able to maintain a ...

OBJECTIVE Quantification of changes in glucose and lipid concentrations in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and uncomplicated pregnancy and study of their influence on fetal growth. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A prospective study comparing metabolic outcomes in cholestastic and uncomplicated singleton pregnancies was undertaken at two university hospitals in the U.K. and...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relative effectiveness of interventions with self-monitoring blood glucose and self-monitoring of urine glucose, versus interventions without self-monitoring, in terms of HbA(1c) reductions in type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Thirteen published full reports on randomised controlled trials investigating the effects of self-monitoring glucose were identified by a syst...

background and aims. a high number of patients with periodontitis may have undiagnosed diabetes. it is possible that gingival crevicular blood from routine periodontal probing may be a source of blood for glucose measurements. the aim of this study was to compare gingival crevicular blood and fingerstick blood glucose measurements using a self-monitoring device with the standard laboratory plas...

Studies have shown that cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity, blood lipid levels, start early in childhood and some are on the rise in children. Data on trends are important in order to identify if there is a problem. This study, part of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study, determined and compared the prevalence of overweight and its associated risk factors in 2555, 1 329 and 1158 Tehran...

Moderate-to-high levels of physical activity are established as preventive factors in metabolic syndrome development. However, there is variability in the phenotypic expression of metabolic syndrome under distinct physical activity conditions. In the present study we applied a Genotype X Environment interaction method to examine the presence of GxEE interaction in the phenotypic expression of m...

This study assessed the relationship between insulin, glucose, body mass index, and cardiovascular risk factors in a sample of 489 white premenopausal women. All women were participants in the Healthy Women Study (University of Pittsburgh) and had normal blood pressure and fasting blood glucose of less than 140 mg/dl and a 2-hour value after a 75-g glucose load of less than 200 mg/dl. Both body...

ABSTRACT This study aimed evaluate energetic mobilization in tambaqui submitted to fasting, after a one-day refeeding. 120 juveniles were distributed 12 310L polyethylene boxes. Three treatments evaluated: Control (14 days of feeding); Fasting for 14 days; and Refeeding (13 fasting one day feedback). After the experimental period, fish anesthetized with eugenol blood collection serum plasma use...

Background: Both postprandial hyperglycaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia have been identified as risk markers for cardiovascular disease. However, the determinants of the magnitude of postprandial triglyceride and glucose responses are largely unknown. The objective was to assess potential determinants of postprandial glucose and triglyceride responses following two consecutive meals in women wit...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Whereas hypothyroid subjects have a decreased resting energy expenditure (REE), it is unknown whether REE is associated with TSH in euthyroid subjects. It is also uncertain whether there is an association between cardiometabolic risk factors and TSH among euthyroid subjects. The primary aim was to test whether REE and TSH are associated in euthyroid subjects. The second aim wa...
