Sympathetic neural activation in visceral obesity

Guy E. Alvarez, +3 more
- 12 Nov 2002 - 
TL;DR: The observations are consistent with the idea that abdominal visceral fat is an important adipose tissue depot linking obesity with sympathetic neural activation in humans and may have important implications for understanding the increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in individuals with visceral obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity and hypertension: two epidemics or one?

Kevin P. Davy, +1 more
- 01 May 2004 - 
TL;DR: The present review will provide an overview of the understanding of the etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment of obesity hypertension in humans, with a focus on the state of knowledge in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Greater rate of decline in maximal aerobic capacity with age in physically active vs. sedentary healthy women

Hirofumi Tanaka, +6 more
- 01 Dec 1997 - 
TL;DR: The present cross-sectional findings provide additional evidence that the absolute, but not the relative, rate of decline in maximal aerobic capacity with age may be greater in highly physically active women compared with their sedentary healthy peers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Water consumption increases weight loss during a hypocaloric diet intervention in middle-aged and older adults.

Elizabeth A. Dennis, +6 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: When combined with a hypocaloric diet, consuming 500 ml water prior to each main meal leads to greater weight loss than a hypocoric diet alone in middle‐aged and older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood pressure reductions with exercise and sodium restriction in postmenopausal women with elevated systolic pressure: role of arterial stiffness.

Douglas R. Seals, +8 more
- 01 Aug 2001 - 
TL;DR: Moderate SR lowers SBP and PP in postmenopausal women with elevated baseline levels more than does daily walking, and the greater blood pressure reductions with SR may be mediated in part by a decrease in the stiffness of the large elastic arteries.
