Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Static Magnetic Field Exposure in Obese Mice Induced by High Fat Diet: Its Effect on T-Box15 Gene and Uncoupling Protein 1 ExpressionWidia Bela Oktaviani, Puji Sari, Luluk Yunaini et al.Increased Ca2+ cytosolic concentration caused by Static Magnetic Field (SMF) exposure modulates Tbx15 protein and Ucp1 gene interaction that is involved in the thermogenesis browning process of white adipose tissue. Activation of Tbx15 as a transcription factor that regulates the expression of the Uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) gene induced by SMF exposure in adipose tissue converts excess accumulated fat into … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 23 Jan 2024 · 4,521 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractThe Benefits of Selected Nutritional Compounds Towards Atherosclerosis ManagementAnastasia Vladimirovna Poznyak, Mariam Bagheri Ekta, Vasily Nikolaevich Sukhorukov et al.Globally, the prevalence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome is steadily rising, potentially giving rise to the most extensive non-communicable health crisis ever recorded blocking the flow are able to break and cause a blood clot. The possible consequence is a significant increase in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease rate. The atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease largely depends on modifiable factors, however, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 1 · 2 Nov 2023 · 5,032 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Long Non-coding RNAs Expressed During Early AdipogenesisRongkun Shen, Rachel A. Soeder, Henry D. Ophardt et al.Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts with a length of more than 200 nucleotides that lack protein-coding capacity. LncRNAs play important roles in the regulation of genes during many biological processes, development and disease progression, such as obesity. Obesity is an increasing health concern around the world. Although multiple studies linking lncRNAs and fully differentiated adipocytes have been published, the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2019 · 7,823 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWeight Gain, Conditioning and Metabolic Syndrome: A Sled Dog ModelAline Collin, Shannon Jimmie, Arleigh Reynolds et al.Type II Diabetes (T2D) and insulin resistance are growing national health concerns. Obesity is a risk factor for developing T2D and is associated with chronic and systemic inflammation. Exercise on the other hand has been shown to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. We investigated the effects of conditioning and weight gain on adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor and glycosylated hemoglobin, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2019 · 7,728 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors among Young Adult FemalesSwati Dhruv, Uma Iyer, Kusum BhattProblem statement: Over the past two decades there has been a striking increase in the number of people with metabolic syndrome in developing countries. The current study was thus undertaken to map the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and to assess the cardio-metabolic risk factors among young adult females (n = 1303) aged 18-26y from four girls hostel of the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Feb 2012 · 7,874 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship of Body Composition Parameters with Hip and Fore Arm Bone Mineral Density: An Indian PerspectiveK.B. Kishore Mohan, V. Sapthagirivasan, M. AnburajanProblem statement: The relationship between obesity and osteoporosis has been widely studied and epidemiological evidence shows that obesity is correlated with increased bone mass. Anthropometric factors such as body height and body weight which are related to body mass index should be considered. Approach: We measured whole body fat mass, fat free mass, muscle mass, Body water, percentage fat mass … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 5 Oct 2011 · 7,912 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Anthropometric and Metabolic Variables with Cardiovascular Disease among Urban and Rural OriginBadaruddoza, Kushal Gill, Raman KumarProblem statement: We have examined the prevalence and association of cardiovascular diseases with respect to obesity and metabolic risk factors clustering among urban and rural Punjabi males aged 20-55 years. Obesity has been defined by increased Waist Circumference (WC), Body Mass Index (BMI) and Waist Hip Ratio (WHR). Metabolic traits such as increased total cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins have also … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 20 Aug 2011 · 7,468 accessesView PDFCite
