Association between habitual physical activity and brown adipose tissue activity in individuals undergoing PET-CT scan
(2015)ObjectiveAugmented brown adipose tissue (BAT) mass and activity lead to higher basic metabolic rate which is beneficial against obesity. Our aim was to investigate whether habitual (i.e. usual weekly participation) physical ... -
Associations of obesity with modifiable risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(2009)Objectives: To assess the association of body mass index (BMI) with modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: BMI, disease activity, selected CVD risk factors ... -
Body image in female professional and amateur dancers
(2010)Body image is considered to be an obscure, mental representation of body shape, size and form which is influenced by a variety of factors that operate over varying time spans. Research has shown that professional female ... -
Effects of sarcoptic mange on the reproductive performance of ewes and transmission of Sarcoptes scabiei to newborn lambs
(2001)In each of two experiments, the reproductive performance of ewes naturally infested with sarcoptic mange and of uninfested ewes was assessed in in-season natural breeding conditions (experiment I) or in out-of-season ... -
Elevated plasma immunoreactive leptin levels preexist in healthy offspring of patients with essential hypertension
(1999)Background Plasma leptin levels and plasma insulin levels have been found to be elevated in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and have been suggested to be components of the metabolic syndrome. Increased heart rate ... -
Feed supplemented with byproducts from olive oil mill wastewater processing increases antioxidant capacity in broiler chickens
(2015)In the present study, a ceramic membrane microfiltration method was used for the separation of two liquid products, the downstream permeate and the upstream retentate, from olive mill wastewater (OMWW). These liquid products ... -

A single bout of downhill running transiently increases HOMA-IR without altering adipokine response in healthy adult women
(2013)Eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage may cause marked alterations in insulin sensitivity. However, it is not entirely known whether such alterations are also related to changes in adipokine levels. The aim of this study ... -
