Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related increase in visceral adipose tissue and body fat and the metabolic risk profile of premenopausal women.
Agnès Pascot,Simone Lemieux,Isabelle Lemieux,Denis Prud'homme,André J. Tremblay,Claude Bouchard,André Nadeau,Charles Couillard,André Tchernof,Jean Bergeron,Jean-Pierre Després +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that even before the onset of menopause there is an age-related deterioration in the metabolic risk profile and an increase in visceral AT deposition in middle-aged women compared with young control subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
No association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme ID polymorphism and elite endurance athlete status
Tuomo Rankinen,Bernd Wolfarth,Jean-Aimé Simoneau,Dirk Maier-Lenz,Rainer Rauramaa,Miguel A. Rivera,Marcel R. Boulay,Yvon C. Chagnon,Louis Pérusse,Joseph Keul,Claude Bouchard +10 more
TL;DR: Data from the GENATHLETE cohort do not support the hypothesis that the ACE ID polymorphism is associated with a higher cardiorespiratory endurance performance level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal muscle histochemical and biochemical characteristics in sedentary male and female subjects.
TL;DR: The results indicate that sedentary males exhibit a lower mean value of percent fiber type I and higher glycolytic enzyme activities than sedentary females and confirm the presence of an important metabolic heterogeneity independent of the muscle fiber type distribution in sedentary male and female subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood lipid response to 20 weeks of supervised exercise in a large biracial population: The HERITAGE Family Study
Arthur S. Leon,Treva Rice,Stephen Mandel,Jean-Pierre Després,Jean Bergeron,Jacques Gagnon,D. C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Jack H. Wilmore,Claude Bouchard +9 more
TL;DR: The effects of 20 weeks of supervised cycle-ergometer exercise on plasma lipids in 675 healthy, sedentary, normolipidemic white and black men and women aged 17 to 65 years, participating in the HERITAGE Family Study were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in inflammatory markers: what is the contribution of visceral adiposity?
Amélie Cartier,Mélanie Côté,Isabelle Lemieux,Louis Pérusse,Angelo Tremblay,Claude Bouchard,Jean-Pierre Després +6 more
TL;DR: The higher CRP concentrations found in women appear to be due to their greater accumulation of subcutaneous fat than that observed in men, and a multivariate model of the whole sample found that both SAT and VAT and the sex x SAT interaction term were significant correlates of CRP and IL-6 concentrations.
