Subclinical Indication of Linkage Between Markers of Skeletal and Cardiovascular Properties.

TL;DR: In the context of a less dynamic microenvironment in young adult females, metabolic factors appear to moderate less of an effect of hemodynamic properties on the skeleton relative to adolescents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Race Differences in Erythropoietin, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and Hemoglobin Before and After Weight Loss in Women

TL;DR: Low hemoglobin is a predictor of cardiovascular disease, thus, variables known to influence Hb are of clinical relevance and the interrelationships of testosterone, erythropoietin (EP...
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Oxidation with Body Fat in Premenopausal Women

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that in situ measures of skeletal muscle mitochondria FA oxidation would be positively associated with total body fat found positive associations of total fat mass with State 3 (ADP-stimulated respiration) and the respiratory control ratio (RCR), suggesting molecular processes that enhance FA oxidation capacity at the mitochondrial level.
Journal ArticleDOI

Response to “Effect of Diet With and Without Exercise Training on Markers of Inflammation and Fat Distribution in Overweight Women”

TL;DR: The preservation of lean mass in the diet alone and diet + aerobic groups was surprising, given that it has been previously shown a reduction in lean mass when resistance training is not incorporated into a low-energy diet weight loss program.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Pilot Study of Associations Between Visceral Fat, IL-6, and Urinary F 2-Isoprostanes in Older Adults Exposed to a Diet Intervention

TL;DR: In this article, a pilot study was designed to explore the hypotheses that reduction in VAT is associated with increase in IL-6, and that increases in urinary F2-isoprostanes are associated with an increase in fat oxidation.
