Beneficial Effects of Milk Consumption on Lean Body Mass [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry, 2019
Higher body mass index is associated with higher death rates from cardiometabolic diseases (i.e., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and renal disease) (1, 2). However, body mass index reflects both fat and lean body mass, which have opposing effects on risk of cardiometabolic disease (3). Higher levels of fat mass are linearly and positively associated

Exosome Proteomics of SOD1D90A Mutation Suggest Early Disease Mechanisms, and FN1 as a Biomarker

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease. Super oxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene mutations cause ALS, and the D90A mutation is associated with primarily upper motor neuron (UMN) loss. Objective Our goal is to reveal the early cellular events in ALS pathology and identify potential pharmacokinetic biomarkers, using well ...

Association of estrogen receptor alpha gene PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms with obesity-related phenotypes and body composition in Iranian children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics
Background Obesity in children is a serious health issue. In this study, we investigated the association of ESR1 rs2234693 (PvuII) and rs9340799 (XbaI) with obesity-related phenotypes and body composition in Iranian children and adolescents.

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Elevation in the Central Nervous System Is Associated With Failure to Thrive in Alexander Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Alexander disease (AxD) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder caused by gain‐of‐function mutations in the gene for GFAP, which lead to protein aggregation and a primary astrocytopathy. Symptoms vary, but failure to thrive (FTT) and frequent emesis are common and cause significant morbidity. Here we investigate GDF15, a member of the

Interleukin‐6 as a Key Biomarker in Facioscapulohumeral Dystrophy: Evidence From Longitudinal Analyses

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 1 (FSHD1) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder with no approved treatments. Identifying reliable biomarkers is critical to monitor disease severity, activity, and progression. Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) has been proposed as a candidate biomarker, but longitudinal validation is limited ...

SNUPN‐Related Muscular Dystrophy: Novel Phenotypic, Pathological and Functional Protein Insights

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SNUPN‐related muscular dystrophy or LGMDR29 is a new entity that covers from a congenital or childhood onset pure muscular dystrophy to more complex phenotypes combining neurodevelopmental features, cataracts, or spinocerebellar ataxia. So far, 12 different variants have been described.

The Influence of Increased Body Fat or Lean Body Mass on Aerobic Performance

PLoS ONE, 2014
The purpose of this study was to determine aerobic performance in men with an increased body mass due to (a) high body fat (>21.5%) but with a average (59.0-64.3 kg) lean body mass (HBF group) and (b) high lean body mass (>66.3 kg), but with average body fat (14.0-18.5%) (HLBM group).The men in the HBF and HLBM had similar absolute body mass and body ...

CSF Levels of NPTX2 Are Associated With Less Brain Atrophy Over Time in Cognitively Unimpaired Individuals

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neuronal pentraxin 2 (NPTX2) is a synaptic protein involved in synaptic plasticity and regulation of neuronal excitability. Lower baseline cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) NPTX2 levels have been shown to be associated with an earlier onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a pre‐dementia syndrome, even after CSF Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Where, How, and How Much? A Multicenter Cohort Study of the Relationship Across Lupus Decision‐Aid Modality, Place of Administration, Interruption and Viewing Completeness, and Patient‐Reported Outcomes

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We assessed whether shared decision‐making (SDM) and patient acceptability, feasibility, and overall satisfaction with a computerized patient decision aid (PtDA) for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) differs by PtDA setting, modality, and the viewing experience. Methods Patients with SLE were invited to view a self‐administered
