Obesity is a worldwide epidemic that increases the risk of several well-known co-morbidities. There complicated relationship between adipokines and low-grade inflammation in obesity cardiovascular disease (CVD). Physical activity practices have beneficial health effects on related disorders such as hypertension dyslipidemia. We investigated 6 12 months moderate physical training levels CVD markers normal weight, overweight obese volunteers. The 143 participants were followed up at baseline...

Physically active (n = 21) sedentary 23) women aged 60 to 80 years were enrolled study. Plasma levels D-fructosamine, insulin, reduced (GSH) oxidized (GSSG) glutathione, iron, uric acid, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARs) (lipoperoxidation product), as well extensor/flexor muscle...

Palmitoleic acid (PA) is a n-7 monounsaturated fatty (MUFA) secreted by adipose tissue and related to decreased insulin resistance in peripheral tissues. Evidences have been shown that PA also proinflammatory cytokine expression cultured macrophages. Although studies other acids (FAs) modulate several lymphocyte functions, the specific effect of on these cells unknown. The aim present study was evaluate possible influence activation differentiation human lymphocytes comparison oleic (OA)....

The fatigue induced by marathon races was observed in terms of inflammatory and immunological outcomes. Neutrophil survival activation are essential for inflammation resolution contributes directly to the pathogenesis many infectious conditions. aim this study investigate effect on surface molecules related neutrophil adhesion extrinsic apoptosis pathway its association with markers. We evaluated 23 trained male runners at São Paulo International Marathon 2013. following components were...

Evidence suggests that exercise improves neutrophil function. The decreased functional longevity of neutrophils and their increased clearance from infectious sites contribute to the susceptibility infection severity observed in patients with diabetes.Herein, we investigated effects a dance program on number, function, death type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) healthy volunteers.Ten T2DM twelve individuals participated moderate-intensity training for 4 months. plasma levels leptin, free fatty...

Obesity can lead to a chronic systemic inflammatory state that increases the risk of cancer development. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate alterations in tumor non-infiltrated lymphocytes function and melanoma growth animals maintained on high-fat diet and/or moderate physical exercise program murine model melanoma.Female mice were randomly divided into eight groups: 1) normolipidic control (N), 2) + (NM), 3) (H), 4) (HM), 5) (NE), 6) (NEM), 7) (HE), 8) (HEM).

What is the central question of this study? Is lymphocyte DNA methylation differentially modulated by resistance training and aerobic exercise in older women? main finding its importance? The practice led to an increased global lymphocytes. exercise-induced increase inflammatory genes may be associated with immune function impairment during ageing.Ageing-induced gene expression through a reduction might contribute chronic diseases. Regular physical practices, turn, are decrease incidence We...

Background/Objectives: Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats exhibit insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) without obesity. This study explored the effects of ω-3 fatty acid supplementation on T lymphocyte polarization in Wistar (WT) GK rats. Methods: They were administered acid-rich fish oil (FO) containing eicosapentaenoic (540 mg/g) docosahexaenoic acids (100 by oral gavage at g/kg, thrice a week for 8 weeks. The control groups (WT CT CT) received same volume water. following...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the impact of a 16-week dance-based aerobic exercise program on lymphocyte function in healthy and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) women. We enrolled 23 women: 11 with T2DM 12 non-diabetic controls. Initially, we performed anthropometry body composition measurements, afterwards, plasma levels C-reactive protein, lipids, glucose were determined. used flow cytometry measure CD25 CD28 expression circulating lymphocytes, T-regulatory (Treg) cell...

We determined the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) among military police officers (MPOs) from radio patrol program Military Police Sao Paulo State (PMESP). Towards this goal, we analyzed following characteristics: shift duty (daytime or nighttime patrol), service length in PMESP, education level attained, weekly alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical activity 93 MPOs. The MPO groups were created based on work [daytime (n=48) (n=45)], years experience [≤3 ≥10 (n=45)]. overall MetS...
