Abstract

Low-energy diet is highly recommended for obesity treatment. However, after success at the beginning some in some patients weight gain occurs. This study was aimed to evaluate changes in body weight and dietary intake in overweight and obese women during 1 year of a balanced low-energy diet. The study group comprised 70 women, aged 47.3, BMI 37.5 kg/m2. The balanced 1000 kcal diet was recommended. Body weight measurement, body composition assessment by BIA and dietary assessment were performed at entry and every 2 months of the study. Women were divided in 2 groups: I--women with body weight reduction achieved after 6 and 12 months of treatment (n=38), II--women who lost weight in first 6 months and gained weight in the next 6 months (n=32). After 1 year treatment averaged body weight reduction in women was 11.9+/-8.6%. In women from group I body weight decrement was 16.4+/-11.2 kg (15+/-9%), and in women from group II 7.5+/-7.7 kg, (8.1+/-6.7%), respectively. Body fat mass decrease in group I after 6 and 12 months was 7.8+/-6.0 kg and 11.1+/-7.9 kg, in group II 6.4+/-5.3 kg and 5.2+/-5.5 kg, respectively. Women from group II consume more energy, carbohydrates and sucrose in months 6-12 than in first 6 months and more than wome...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
