Objectives: To assess cardiorespiratory fitness levels in youth aged 12 to 19 years and examine associations between age, sex, race/ethnicity, selfreported physical activity this age group.
Higher levels of sodium and lower potassium intake are associated with higher blood pressure. However, the shape magnitude these associations can vary by study participant characteristics or assessment method. Twenty-four-hour urinary excretion unaffected recall errors represent all sources intake, were collected for first time in a nationally representative US survey. Our objective was to assess pressure hypertension 24-hour among adults.Cross-sectional data obtained from 766 participants...
Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. The percentage of infants who were ever breastfed increased 60% among born in 1993-1994 to 77% 2005-2006. Breastfeeding rates significantly non-Hispanic black women 36% 65% 1999-2006 higher those with income (74%) compared had lower (57%). mothers 30 years older than younger mothers. There was no significant change rate breast-feeding at 6 months age for between 1993 2004. Human milk is ideal food most infants. benefits their...
In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (now National Academy Medicine) recommended collecting 24-hour urine to estimate US sodium intake because previous studies indicated 90% consumed was excreted in urine.
Regular aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity in youth has been positively associated with health may help prevent obesity. The purpose of this study is to provide reference values on 4 core, upper, lower body measures muscle strength among US children adolescents investigate the association between these weight status.
Abstract Mutations in the septin (SEPT) family lead to male infertility. Septin 14 (SEPT14) is abundantly expressed testis, and its expression significantly reduced individuals with teratozoospermia, suggesting that SEPT14 may play a role spermatogenesis. Here, we demonstrated Sept14 mainly at acroplaxome, manchette, neck, annulus during spermiogenesis. To study of sperm morphogenesis function, knockout ( −/− ) mice were generated. The subfertile presented phenotypes such as irregular...

Median urine iodine concentration (UIC; μg/L) in spot samples is recommended for monitoring population status. Other common measures are iodine:creatinine ratio (I/Cr; μg/g) and estimated 24-hour excretion (UIE; I/Cr × predicted Cr; μg/day). Despite different units, these often used interchangeably, it unclear how they compare with the reference standard UIE.Volunteers aged 18-39 years collected all their 24 hours (n=400). Voids from morning, afternoon, evening, overnight, a composite sample...
Male infertility has become a worldwide health problem, but the etiologies of most cases are still unknown. SEPT12, GTP-binding protein, is involved in male fertility. Two SEPT12 mutations (SEPT12T89M and SEPT12D197N) have been identified infertile men who had defective sperm annulus with bent tail. The function unclear. Here, we found that formed filamentous structure SEPT7, 6, 2 4 at annulus. SEPT12-based septin core complex was assembled as SEPT12-7-6-2-2-6-7-12 or SEPT12-7-6-4-4-6-7-12...
Enriched cereal-grain products have been fortified in the United States for >20 y to improve folate status women of reproductive age and reduce risk folic acid–responsive neural tube birth defects (NTDs). Our objectives were assess postfortification changes overall US population aged 12–49 characterize recent by demographic group use acid–containing supplements. We examined cross-sectional serum RBC data from NHANES 1999–2016. Serum geometric means increased 2007–2010 2011–2016 persons ≥1...
CDC COVID-19 surveillance systems monitor SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence to collect information about asymptomatic, undiagnosed, and unreported disease using national convenience samples of blood donor data from commercial laboratories (1,2). However, nonrandom sampling these could affect estimates (1-3). The National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collects serology among a sample the general U.S. civilian population (4). In addition, NHANES self-reported vaccination history,...
Septins are critical for numerous cellular processes through the formation of heteromeric filaments and rings indicating importance structural regulators in septin assembly. Several posttranslational modifications (PTMs) mediate dynamics yeast. However, little is known about role PTMs regulating mammalian assembly, vivo significance on assembly function remains unknown. Here, we showed that SEPT12 was phosphorylated Ser198 using mass spectrometry, generated phosphomimetic knock-in (KI) mice...
Key points Endocrine gland‐derived vascular endothelial growth factor (EG‐VEGF) is a critical that facilitates trophoblast invasion in placenta. Plasma miR‐141 and miR‐200a levels were elevated, while EG‐VEGF was decreased peripheral blood placenta of preeclamptic patients. Furthermore, numbers cilia the from women significantly decreased. Elevated inhibited expression EG‐VEGF, downstream extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK)/matrix metalloproteinase 9 signalling formation, thus...
