Excess Early Postnatal Weight Gain Leads to Increased Abdominal Fat in Young Children

International Journal of Pediatrics, 2012
Background. Increased childhood weight gain has been associated with later adiposity. Whether excess early postnatal weight gain plays a role in childhood abdominal fat is unknown. Design. In the ongoing Wheezing Illnesses Study Leidsche Rijn (WHISTLER),

Obesity phenotype and intra-abdominal fat responses to regular aerobic exercise [PDF]

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2009
To examine the effects of obesity phenotype on abdominal fat responses to regular aerobic exercise.Fifty-seven obese men aged 34-70 years were divided into two groups based on baseline intra-abdominal fat (IF) area measured by computerized tomography: moderate (or=200 cm(2)) IF (HIF; n=24, age: 53.5+/-9.5 yr, BMI: 30.3+/-3.1 kg/m(2)).

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...
