Adipose tissue endocannabinoid system gene expression: depot differences and effects of diet and exercise
Posted By admin on October 28, 2011
Alterations of endocannabinoid system in adipose tissue play an important role in lipid regulation and metabolic dysfunction associated with obesity. The purpose of this study was to determine whether gene expression levels of cannabinoid type 1 receptor (CB1) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) are different in subcutaneous abdominal and gluteal adipose tissue, and whether hypocaloric diet and aerobic exercise influence subcutaneous adipose tissue CB1 and FAAH gene expression in obese women. Methods: Thirty overweight or obese, middle-aged women (BMI=34.3+/-0.8 kg/m2, age= 59+/-1 years) underwent one of three 20-week weight loss interventions: caloric restriction only (CR, N=9), caloric restriction plus moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (CRM, 45-50% HRR, N=13), or caloric restriction plus vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise (CRV, 70-75% HRR, N=8).
Nearly half of Ontario seniors do not see dentists regularly: study
Posted By Sofia Schonell on October 27, 2011
Toronto – Forty-five per cent of Ontarians 65 years and older did not see a dentist in the last year, increasing their risk of chronic diseases and a reduced quality of life , a new study by researchers at St. Michael’s Hospital, Women’s College Hospital and the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) shows.“Poor oral health can contribute to many serious medical conditions and affect a person’s ability to chew and digest food properly, leading to inadequate nutrition,” explains Dr. Arlene Bierman, principal investigator of the study. “With den
Supplements and Older Women: Helpful or Harmful?
Posted By Angelina Drennan on October 26, 2011
A report released earlier this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine indicates that older women slightly increase their risk of dying by taking supplements like iron but slightly decrease this risk with calcium supplementation. If you’re the one in two adults who regularly takes a multivitamin or other supplement, this news may be somewhat confusing. Below we review the study design and research results then provide insight as to why this study has several flaws. Data was obtained from participants enrolled in the Iowa Women’s Health Study.
