Epidemiological studies support the hypothesis that genetic factors modulate risk for diabetic nephropathy (DN). Aldose reductase (ALDR1), rate-limiting enzyme in polyol pathway, is a potential candidate gene. The present study explores polymorphisms of (A-C)n dinucleotide repeat sequence, located 2.1 kb upstream transcription start site, ALDR1 gene expression and DN. We conducted at two different institutions, University New Mexico Health Sciences Center (UNMHSC), Istituto Scientifico H San...
The ability of low-intensity vibration (LIV) to combat skeletal decline in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) was evaluated a randomized controlled trial. Twenty DMD boys were enrolled, all ambulant and treated with glucocorticoids (mean age 7.6, height-adjusted Z-scores [HAZ] hip bone mineral density [BMD] -2.3). Ten assigned stand for 10 min/d on an active LIV platform (0.4 g at 30 Hz), while stood placebo device. Baseline 14-month content (BMC) BMD spine, hip, total body measured DXA,...

Glycogen storage disease (GSD) is the most prevalent inherited disorder of glycogen metabolism for which no causal treatment available. In recent years, thanks to improved clinical management, life expectancy these patients extended, disclosing previously unidentified adverse conditions in other organs. this study, we evaluated bone complications and cellular responses 20 (aged 14.1 ± 3.4 years) affected by GSD type I. Fragility fractures were reported 35% patients, older than unfractured...
