OBJECTIVE: To correlate anthropometric, computed tomography and fat cell data from abdominal regions with the levels of serum insulin, C-peptide, leptin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), testosterone, 17beta-estradiol, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEA-S) sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). DESIGN AND METHODS: The sample consisted 84 obese patients (29 men, 22 premenopausal women 33 postmenopausal women) who had undergone surgery. Weight, height, percentage body...
The nocturnal versus diurnal feeding patterns of sea bass under controlled experimental conditions were studied in order to investigate the existence such a dualistic behavior. animals (six groups 4 and 8 single fish) held tanks filled with recirculating salt water installed "chronolab" constant (23.5 °C 2.4% salinity). fish given access self-demand feeders first exposed photoperiod regime 12:12 (12 h light, 70 lx, 12 dark, complete darkness) then light:dark (LD) pulses (40 min 40 dark). LD...
Background: To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in an adolescent group representative a rural Mediterranean area to determine possible associations with energy nutrient intakes levels physical exercise. Methods: A sample adolescents was drawn from secondary school Torre Pacheco (Murcia), located southeast Spain. The population selected (331 aged 14–18 years), divided into two groups: normal-weight subjects body mass index less than 23 kg/m2 or obese more. Weight, height,...
University students are a part of the population potentially vulnerable in relation to their nutritional status.To evaluate energy intake, profile diet and prevalence underweight, overweight obesity university students.The study was conducted 223 (53% female) from Murcia (Spain), mean age 21.4 ± 2.7 years. Dietary intake estimated by continuous 7 days dietary record, previously validated. Afterwards, total macronutrients distribution were obtained using software "GRUNUMUR 2.0". Physical...
The aim of the study was to measure survival children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) under Mexico's public health insurance for population treated Seguro Popular. A retrospective cohort using claims data from Popular program, covering cancer treatment 2005 2015 conducted. Overall 5-year national and state-specific ALL across Mexico who initiated this program estimated. From 2015, 8,977 Under financing scheme, annual number doubled 535 in 1,070 2015. estimates overall 61.8% (95%CI...
Aims. The main objective of this work is to derive the distribution metal content HII galaxies using sulphur as an abundance tracer. This increases metallicity range that can safely be reached. Methods. We selected a sample emission-line we extracted from SDSS-DR16. These objects have redshift z ≤ 0.04 so [S III ] λ 9069 Å emission line and H β equivalent widths are higher than 10 in were included, they compact appearance. used so-called direct method for with electron-temperature-sensitive...
Circumnuclear star-forming regions (CNSFRs) found close to galactic nuclei are ionised by massive clusters. These entities give us an excellent opportunity study star formation in environments with high metallicity, and relate it active nuclei. Our principal aim is derive the physical properties dynamical masses of CNSFRs two rings spiral NGC 7469, categorised as a luminous infrared galaxy (LIRG) hosting Seyfert 1 nucleus. We used archival data obtained MUSE spectrograph. The shows prominent...
For this third paper in the series, we studied kinematics of ionised gas and stars, calculated dynamical masses circumnuclear star-forming regions ring face-on spiral NGC 7742. We used high spectral resolution data from MEGARA instrument mounted on Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) to measure kinematical components nebular emission lines selected HII stellar velocity dispersions CaT absorption that allow derivation associated cluster virialised masses. The line profiles show two different...
Melatonin is a pleiotropic molecule with multiple and various functions. In recent years, there has been considerable increase in the consumption of melatonin supplements for reasons other than those related sleep (as an antioxidant, anti-aging, as hunger regulator). Although chemical synthesis recently improved, several unwanted by-products reactions involved occur contaminants. Phytomelatonin, plant origin, was discovered plants 1995, possibility using raw material source to obtain dietary...
Abstract 2+We present a methodology for the use of sulphur as global metallicity tracer in galaxies, allowing performing complete abundance analysis using only red-to-near-infrared spectral region. We have applied it to compilation high-quality data split into two samples: H ii regions (DHR) spiral and irregular dwarf galaxies dominated by strong starburst (H Gal). Sulphur abundances been derived direct methods under assumption an ionization structure composed zones: intermediate-ionization...
