The impact of different patterns feed restriction between d 1 and 15 the estrous cycle on subsequent reproductive performance 23 trios littermate gilts was tested. Some were fed a high plane nutrition (HH gilts) throughout cycle, in contrast to HR gilts, which restricted from 8 15, RH 7. During restriction, weight gain (2.5 ± .7 kg) lower (P = .006) 7 than their HH littermates (5.6 5.6 .8 kg, respectively) it .0001) (5.5 .5 counterparts (8.5 .4 9.4 respectively). There no differences backfat...

The objectives of the present study were 1) to potential effects previous nutritional treatment on developmental competence early fertilized oocytes in vitro; 2) responses insulin during period feed restriction late luteal phase which has deleterious subsequent fertility; and 3) establish metabolic endocrine status gilts periestrous period. Nineteen trios littermate subjected first (RH) or second (HR) week estrous cycle. A group HR received injections long-acting their (HR+I). Intensive...

Insulin resistance (IR) and progressive pancreatic β-cell dysfunction have been identified as the two fundamental features in pathogenesis of obesity non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. We aimed to investigate correlations between anthropometric indices IR non-diabetic obese individuals, cutoff value from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Cross-sectional study conducted a private clinic.We included individuals (body mass index, BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) with no mellitus...

Sleep loss has been implicated in triggering the hypertension. The goal of present study was investigated possible mechanisms underlying cardiovascular alterations after acute paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD). Male Wistar rats were assigned two experimental groups: (1) control and (2) PSD for 24 h using modified single platform method. Paradoxical deprived exhibited higher blood pressure, heart rate (HR) impaired baroreceptor sensitivity. After pharmacological autonomic double blockade...

Previous studies identified restrictive ventilator disorder (RVD) as a predictor of incident hypertension. Low physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) were also recognized causes Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate the role PA CRF mediators spirometric indices blood pressure in adults. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1362 adults aged 18-80 years selected from Epidemiology Human Movement Study (EPIMOV). We performed spirometry measure FVC FEV1. Peak oxygen uptake...

Introduction: Among the instruments to assess level of physical activity in daily life (LPADL), questionnaires are cost advantageous and accelerometers more accurate. Recent studies have shown poor agreement between these methods. Hypothesis: We tested hypothesis that combination questionnaire accelerometer is best strategy prevalence inactivity adults. Objective: To evaluate compare adults, identified by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), triaxial accelerometry both....

Aim Evaluate and compare the proportion of PI associated factors by IPAQ questionnaire, triaxial accelerometry combination both. Adults aged ( 18 years were enrolled (n = 250). Methods We considered as < 600 MET-min/wk in total score, 150 min/wk moderate-to-vigorous physical activity 7 days accelerometry, both criteria. Clinical assessment, spirometry, cardiopulmonary exercise test, bioelectrical impedance, isokinetic dynamometry, postural balance, six-minute walk test also performed. For...

Individuals with ischemic heart disease present O2 pulse morphology early flattening (plateau) during CPET. Despite this response is well known in patients disease, the clinical relevance of these changes non-cardiopathic unknown. The aim study was to quantify prevalence adults and verify its association cardiovascular risk factors. A cross-sectional conducted 824 aged 18-80 years selected from Epidemiology Human Movement Study (EPIMOV). We evaluated anthropometrics, body composition risk....

Sleep is an essential process for maintaining the body's biological functions, and disorders associated with it can cause various health problems, including cardiovascular disorders. The practice of physical activity comprises one most beneficial habits a correct sleep regulation, improving its duration depth. However, cycle that involves activities, quality diseases needs further elucidation, therefore, objective this work was to compare correlate risk developing Obstructive Apnea Syndrome...
