Abstract:

MicroRNAs, short noncoding RNA sequences, regulate several biological processes and seem also regulate insulin signaling, immune-mediated inflammation, adipokine expression, adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, and food intake. miRNAs may have a role in molecular mechanisms linked to cellular pathways of some diseases, as viral infections, cancer, diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. The recent discovery of circulating miRNAs (c-miRNAs) easily detectable and measurable in plasma and other body fluids, led to the hypothesis of their potential role as disease indicators. It has been shown th

Abstract:

Introduction: Obesity is defined for the Asian population as a body mass index (BMI) >25 kg/m2, while overweight is a BMI between 23 kg/m2 and 24.9 kg/m2. Both obesity and type 2 diabetes are major independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease according to previous literature. The data on the risk of obesity on diabetic complications are scarce, which is why this study was conducted. This study is designed to study the hypothesis that complications of diabetes are more in obese/overweight than in non-obese patients.

Pregnant women were categorized into three groups depending on their body mass index (BMI)–normal (BMI–18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (BMI–25.0–29.9 kg/m2) or obese (BMI>40 kg/m2). Antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum and neonatal complications were noted. Results: Out o

Abstract:

Purpose The Malaysian lifestyle has been undergoing changes over time. With better socio-economic conditions, Malaysians tend to consume more food today than they did previously. Excessive intakes of high calorie foods combined with little daily physical activity have led to increased numbers of overweight and obese people in the population. The purpose of this paper is to compare the incidence of overweight and obesity in the population in Malaysia with other Southeast Asian countries.

We aimed to investigate the effect of weight status on inflammation-related markers and thyroid function tests in overweight and obese pediatric patients. Children and adolescents diagnosed between January 2017 and January 2019 with overweight or obesity were included in the study. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were calculated for the groups defined according to Body Mass Index (BMI)-for-age z-score: overweight (≥1 BMI-for-age z-score), obese (≥2 BMI-for-age z-score) and severely obese (≥3 BMI-for-age z-sco

This study aimed to determine whether aerobic training could reduce lipid peroxidation and inflammation at rest and after maximal exhaustive exercise in overweight/obese adolescent girls. Thirty-nine adolescent girls (14-19 years old) were classified as nonobese or overweight/obese and then randomly assigned to either the nontrained or trained group (12-week multivariate aerobic training program). Measurements at the beginning of the experiment and at 3 months consisted of body composition, aerobic fitness (VO2peak) and the following blood assays: pre- and postexercise lipid peroxidation (15F2

Dietary fatty acid intake is closely related to the cognitive function of the overweight and obese population. However, few studies have specified the correlation between exact fatty acids and cognitive functions in different body mass index (BMI) groups. We aimed to explain these relationships and reference guiding principles for the fatty acid intake of the overweight and obese population. Normal weight, overweight, and obese participants were recruited to receive a cognitive function assessment and dietary survey, dietary fatty acids intake was calculated, and the erythrocyte membrane fatty
