Full textWhile obesity has long been considered protective of bone tissue, its nutritional management is linked to a concomitant bone loss. In order to access these mechanisms, male rats were given a high fat / high sucrose diet to induce obesity and its resulting metabolic disorders. Then, these rats participated in a well balanced nutritional program combined, or not, with physical activity in order to treat their obesity. Investigations on density, trabecular micro-architecture, cortical quality, biomechanical properties and cellular parameters of bone tissue were performed on rat’s skeleton. Obesity had improved the bone density and cortical parameters of rats. Obesity management had induced mixed effects. The well balanced diet did alter neither the bone density nor biomechanical and cortical parameters despite the presence of alterations in the trabecular micro architecture and some disturbances of bone cellular activity. Exercise by itself had increased the tibia bone mineral density. Our results show that including exercise in obesity management allows increasing the fat mass loss and maintaining the skeleton integrity. By studying the impact of an obesogenic diet and obesity treatment on bone tissue in rats, this study brings its contribution to the understanding of the mechanisms linking adipose tissue and bone tissue

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by an aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors related to insulin resistance, hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia and visceral adiposity. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to determine the impact of pharmaceutical care in the biochemical, anthropometric, hemodynamic parameters, number of PRMs, adherence, quality of life and cardiovascular risk patients with MS. The study was conducted in a Basic Health Unit in the city of Cuité/PB and covered the period from May to December 2014. Were included in the study of metabolic syndrome patients diagnosed according to the criteria adopted by the NCEP-ATP III, which were randomized in intervention and control groups; the first group received individual and monthly pharmaceutical interventions, while the control was exempt from these. The study results were evaluated after six months, compared to the values initially measured. The sample consisted of 63 subjects (n = 33 intervention group and n = 30 control group), with prevalence of females, mean age 64 years, and low edication. As for adherence, 50% of patients were considered adherent, but only 11.1% showed high adherence conduct. Used an average of 3.6 medications per patient and the predominant pharmacological classes were modifying agents of the lipid profile (21.3%), followed by antidiabetic agents (12.3%), thiazide diuretics (10.2%) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (8.6%). We identified 104 PRMs, an average of 2.2 per individual in the intervention group and 1.0 in the control group, with a prevalence of adherence PRMs (25%), followed by the of effectiveness PRMs (23.1%) and need (21.1%). Aiming to solve the PRMs, there were 76 pharmaceutical interventions, of which 64.5% were educational and / or behavioral, 35.5% were verbal referrals to the doctor for re-evaluation of pharmacotherapy or insertion of drug therapy for health problem untreated. At the end of the study, there were significant differences (p <0.05) in the parameters systolic arterial pressure (p = 0.003) and diastolic (p = 0.043), triglycerides (p = 0.034), adherence (0.026) and number of PRMs (p = 0.001) in the patients of the intervention group, while control group all parameters remained unchanged statistically. It was found, therefore, that the pharmaceutical care in domicile was effective and resulted in decreased average PRMs, improvement in adherence, blood pressure and serum concentration triglyceride of individuals in the intervention group.
A síndrome metabólica (SM) caracteriza-se por uma agregação de fatores de risco cardiovascular relacionados a resistência à insulina, hipertensão arterial, dislipidemia aterogênica e adiposidade visceral. Diante disso, o objetivo principal deste estudo foi determinar o impacto da atenção farmacêutica nos parâmetros bioquímicos, antropométricos e hemodinâmicos, número de problemas relacionados a medicamentos (PRMs), adesão, qualidade de vida e risco cardiovascular de pacientes portadores de SM. O estudo foi desenvolvido em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde do município de Cuité/PB e abrangeu o período de maio a dezembro de 2014. Foram incluídos no estudo portadores de síndrome metabólica diagnosticados conforme os critérios adotados pelo National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATP III), os quais foram randomizados em grupo intervenção e controle; o primeiro grupo recebeu individual e mensalmente intervenções farmacêuticas, enquanto o controle foi isento destas. Os resultados do estudo foram avaliados ao final de seis meses, sendo comparados aos valores inicialmente aferidos. A amostra foi composta por 63 indivíduos (grupo intervenção n=33 e grupo controle n=30), com prevalência do gênero feminino, idade média de 64 anos e baixa escolaridade. Quanto à adesão, 50% dos pacientes foram considerados aderentes, mas apenas 11,1% apresentaram comportamento de alta adesão. Utilizavam uma média de 3,6 medicamentos por paciente e as classes farmacológicas predominantes foram os agentes modificadores do perfil lipídico (21,3%), seguido dos hipoglicemiantes (12,3%), diuréticos tiazídicos (10,2%) e inibidores da enzima conversora da angiotensina (8,6%). Identificaram-se 104 PRMs, média de 2,2 por indivíduo no grupo intervenção e 1,0 no grupo controle, com prevalência de PRMs de adesão (25%), seguidos pelos PRMs de efetividade (23,1%) e de necessidade (21,1%). Visando resolver os PRMs, realizaram-se 76 intervenções farmacêuticas, das quais, 64,5% foram educativas e/ou comportamentais, 35,5% foram encaminhamentos verbais ao médico para reavaliação da farmacoterapia ou inserção de terapia medicamentosa para problema de saúde não tratado. No final do estudo, houve diferenças significativas (p<0,05) nos parâmetros pressão arterial sistólica (p=0,003) e diastólica (p=0,043), triglicerídeos (p=0,034), adesão (p=0,026) e número de PRMs (p=0,001) nos pacientes do grupo intervenção, enquanto todos os parâmetros do grupo controle permaneceram inalterados estatisticamente. Constatou-se, portanto, que a atenção farmacêutica domiciliar foi eficaz e resultou em diminuição da média de PRMs, melhora na adesão, níveis pressóricos e concentração sérica de triglicerídeos dos indivíduos do grupo intervenção.

Full textSpecific Aims: The purpose of this study is to assess whether baseline rates of metabolic monitoring of scheduled atypical antipsychotics are sustained as a result of a pharmacist intervention. Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review assessing rates of metabolic monitoring two months after a pharmacist intervention that utilized a pharmacist-physician metabolic monitoring recommendation form was discontinued. Patients ages 18 years or older with orders for a scheduled atypical antipsychotic were included. Patients with orders for first-generation antipsychotics or who have orders for as needed atypical antipsychotics were excluded. Main Results: Data from the two month post intervention period was compared to those obtained during the pharmacist intervention. For the monitoring of hemoglobin A1c and fasting lipid panels, which improved during the pharmacist intervention, there was a non-statistically significant trend towards decreased monitoring. For hemoglobin A1c, the rates of monitoring decreased from 21.59% to 12.32% (p = 0.09). For fasting lipid panels, monitoring decreased from 39.77% to 28.99% (p = 0.125). Conclusion: A pharmacist intervention utilizing a recommendation form was effective in sustaining the improvement of baseline metabolic monitoring of personal history of diabetes and cardiovascular disease and monitoring of hemoglobin A1c and lipid panels. However, a trend towards decreased monitoring was observed in both the percentage of hemoglobin A1c and lipid panels ordered. Thus, continuing pharmacist intervention may be necessary in order to ensure that baseline metabolic monitoring for atypical antipsychotics occurs.

Full textLa Diabetes Mellitus del tipus 2 (DM2) és una malaltia que es caracteritza per uns nivells elevats de glucosa i insulina circulants ocasionats per un estat de resistència a la insulina. Segons la International Diabetes Federation, el 2013 382 milions de persones van ser diagnosticades de diabetes (8.3% de la població mundial), i d’acord amb les prediccions aquesta xifra augmentarà fins els 592 milions en els pròxims 22 anys. La DM2 explica el 90% dels casos de diabetes (WHO 1999). L’obesitat és un factor de risc per la DM2 i avui en dia suposa una epidèmia: el 2014 la OMS va xifrar en 1.9 bilions la població adulta amb sobrepès i 600 milions amb obesitat. A part del cost econòmic que suposa per a la societat, la OMS va projectar que el 2013 la DM2 serà la setena causa de mort al món (Mathers & Loncar 2006). Un cop diagnosticada, la primera aproximació en l’assessorament al pacient amb DM2 o en un estat de risc consisteix en una intervenció en l’estil de vida: incrementant l’activitat física i portant a terme una dieta equilibrada i saludable. Aquest projecte té com a objectiu l’estudi i la integració de les respostes metabòliques responsables de regular l’homeostasi de la glucosa a nivell sistèmic. Avui en dia, no existeix cap treball que descrigui de forma holística els diferents processos metabòlics que regulen l’homeostasi de la glucosa en tots els teixits que juguen un paper determinant durant el desenvolupament de la DM2 associada a l’obesitat. D’aquesta manera, es pretén guanyar coneixement sobre les alteracions metabòliques que tenen lloc en un estat d’obesitat induït per una dieta rica en greixos, i així mateix valorar el grau de reversibilitat que es pot assolir mitjançant una intervenció en l’estil de vida, al que ens referim com a “plasticitat metabòlica”. Utilitzem un model animal d’obesitat i DM2 induïda per una dieta alta en greixos. Per aconseguir els objectius plantejats inicialment es realitza un estudi fenotípic i funcional a nivell sistèmic per més tard realizar una aproximació experimental més exhaustiva en cadascun dels teixits d’interès: pàncrees, teixit adipós blanc, fetge, múscul esquelètic oxidatiu i glicolític, i hipotàlem. Aquesta aproximació experimental engloba anàlisis funcionals-teixit específic, estudis d’expressió gènica, determinació del contingut proteic i les vies de senyalització, metabolòmica i RNAseq. Així mateix, s’han desenvolupat eines de biologia de sistemes que han permès calcular diferents correlacions i fer diferents tipus d’anàlisis multivariant amb tots els paràmetres estudiats. Es defineixen tres grups experimentals d’animals que concreten els estats metabòlics d’interès: grup control (Ctrl); grup patològic (HFD) (que simula la DM2 induïda per la dieta grassa durant 16 setmanes, i en què els animals tenen sobreprès i la glucosa i insulina circulants elevades en dejú); i un tercer grup que segueix una intervenció en l’estil de vida (Int) que consisteix en restricció calòrica, una modificació de la font d’àcids grassos i hidrats de carboni de la dieta, juntament amb la realització d’un programa d’exercici. El grup experimental d’obesitat induïda per una dieta grassa (grup HFD) presenta les característiques fisiològiques pròpies de l’estat patològic: sobrepès, hiperglucèmia, hiperinsulinèmia i hiperleptinèmia en dejú, augment de la massa i el volum de greix, augment del pes del teixit adipós blanc, el fetge i el pàncrees, augment dels nivells de triglicèrids en fetge i múscul oxidatiu, intolerància a la glucosa, resistència a la insulina, augment de la massa de cèl·lula beta en el pàncrees juntament amb illots hipertròfics engrandits i disfunció de la secreció d’insulina estimulada per glucosa in vivo i in vitro, i disfunció del consum d’oxigen, generació de calor i temperatura escapular. La intervenció va ser suficient per revertir gran part de les alteracions observades en el grup patològic. No obstant, encara s’observa cert grau d’irreversibilitat en determinats paràmetres estudiats: (1) alteració de la glucosa en dejú i la resposta insulínica davant d’un estímul de glucosa in vivo, (2) increment en l’àrea de cèl·lula beta pancreàtica, (3) afectació en el teixit adipós blanc epididimal amb la presència d’inflamació i infiltració de cèl·lules immunes, així com (4) disfunció mitocondrial, ja observats en l’estat patològic. Amb tot, podem concloure que l’estat patològic deixa un cert grau d’irreversibilitat metabòlica no permetent així una recuperació total del fenotip en tots els teixits estudiats, almenys, amb aquest tipus d’intervenció i aquests períodes de temps. El desenvolupament i l’aplicació d’eines de biologia de sistemes han permès estudiar el grau de reversibilitat d’una manera integrada, les correlacions entre paràmetres concrets a nivel multiorgànic, el patró d’expressió gènica de complexes descrits en una xarxa de protein-protein-interaction (PPI). Aquestes estratègies computacionals han permès identificar aquells teixits i vies metabòliques més alterades en els diferents estats estudiats.

Full textThis study investigates whether an 8-week lifestyle-based, smartphone-delivered intervention targeting reduction in sedentary behavior (i.e., sitting) significantly reduces objectively measured time spent sitting and improves fasting glucose and insulin. The incidence of type II diabetes has continued to increase in the United States and increases in sedentary behavior along with reductions in physical activity throughout the day have contributed to the increase of disease. There were 31 participants in the study and they started with a 3-week run-in period where a basic self- monitoring component was installed on their smartphone. After this run-in period, participants were randomly assigned to one of the eight experimental conditions. All participants received a basic self-monitoring with feedback component where they self-reported sleep, sedentary, and more active behaviors. Sitting time was measured with the activPAL3c, which is a device that they wore 24/7. Study visits occurred at week 0 (immediately after the 3-week run-in period), week 4, and week 8. Fasting glucose and insulin were measured at each of these visits. Participants logged approximately 60% of their sleep, sedentary, and exercise behaviors, which took 3– 4 min/day to complete. The impact of the intervention was not significant, such that decreases in sedentary time in those assigned to the sedentary component did not significantly differ from those not assigned to the sedentary component at 8 weeks (beta (SE) = -1.19 (.32), p>0.05); however, the effect size was moderate (Cohen’s d = 0.29). There was no significant impact on fasting glucose or insulin.

Full textAdipose tissue (AT) is a complex organ specialised in safe storage and release of energy as lipids. The adipose organ is therefore essential for the maintenance of energy homeostasis. The prototypical cells of AT are adipocytes, emerging from the precursors in a process called adipogenesis. Adipogenesis itself is tightly connected with lipogenesis, i.e. with the synthesis of fatty acids and triglycerides. Various stimuli can disturb adipocyte differentiation and lipogenesis and thus contribute to AT dysfunction and development of associated metabolic diseases. This thesis was focused on the investigation of lipogenesis in the context of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), calorie restriction and aging. In Project A, we showed that exposition of adipocytes to high acute ERS inhibits expression of lipogenic genes and glucose incorporation into lipids. Moreover, chronic exposure of preadipocytes to ERS impaired both, lipogenesis and adipogenesis. On the other hand, chronic low ERS had no apparent effect on lipogenesis in adipocytes. These effects of ERS could therefore contribute to the worsening of AT function seen in obesity. The capacity of AT to store lipids decreases in aging, possibly due to the accumulation of senescence cells or higher ERS. In Project B, we investigated lipogenic capacity of human AT in relation to senescence and markers of ERS. AT and adipose cells from young and elderly women were investigated. While mRNA expression of major senescent markers was increased in AT from the elderly compared to young individuals, mRNA expression of lipogenic enzymes and chaperones was decreased in AT from elderly individuals. These results were also partly observed in vitro in differentiated adipocytes from AT of the same individuals suggesting the reduced capability to cope with ERS in aging. Very-low calorie diet (VLCD) is first line lifestyle intervention to achieve rapid weight loss. The improvement of whole body insulin sensitivity can be seen as soon as after 2 days of VLCD. However, little is known about AT metabolic changes in those early days. Thus, in Project C, we compared metabolic and inflammation-related characteristics of subcutaneous AT in the early (2 days) and later (28 days) phase of a VLCD. In the early phase of VLCD, the expression of lipolytic genes was increased, whereas the expression of lipogenic genes was suppressed. The inflammatory markers remained unchanged in AT. The changes in AT gene expression in the early phase of VLCD could not explain the effect of short calorie restriction on the improvement of insulin sensitivity. At the later phase, expression of genes involved in lipogenesis and ß-oxidation was markedly suppressed, whereas the expression of inflammatory markers was increased. Thus, we found that the early and later phases of VLCD differ with respect to metabolic and inflammatory responses in subcutaneous AT. In Project D, we compared and defined the effects of moderate calorie restriction on preadipocytes and in vitro differentiated adipocytes in two groups of obese men: juniors and seniors. We did not observe any effect of the intervention on metabolism of preadipocytes in either group. However, we observed an intervention-driven improvement in adipocyte metabolism selectively in the group of seniors. Therefore, our data suggest that moderate calorie restriction could initiate positive changes in metabolism of adipocytes in seniors. In conclusion, this thesis brought several pieces of evidence that lipogenesis in human AT can be inhibited by ER stress, severe caloric restriction and aging

Full textIntroduction: The prevalence among children and adolescents obesity is increasing even though international organizations and governments are trying to alert the public about the risks of suffering from disease and that medical costs will increase for the community. The growing obesity epidemic is increasing the number of individuals with metabolic syndrome in the world. Key explanations for the emergence of the metabolic syndrome are a lack of physical activity together with high energy intake, faulty diet, stress and psychosocial factors. Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is high among children and adolescents with obesity and increasing in pace with the rate of obesity worsen. Due to difficulties in the treatment of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents, physical activity as prevention and continuing research is appropriate to the context. The aim of this study was to explore the connection there was between obesity and metabolic syndrome among children and adolescents, and describe how the metabolic syndrome are affected by interventions with physical activity. The method used for the study was a literature review and databases used for data collectionwas ISI, PubMed, Sience Direct and Scopus. The result showed that Children and adolescents with obesity have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome than normal weight children and adolescents. The overweight children and adolescents in the present study also had higher prevalence of each component of the metabolic syndrome. Physical activity led to a reduction of the metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents. Overweight children and adolescents with high fitness had a lower risk of metabolic syndrome than obese children and adolescents with low fitness. There was a difference between different types of exercise and its effect on the metabolic syndrome, in which time, intensity and load had a major impact on their metabolic risk factors. Implication: Today there is no agreed definition of the metabolic syndrome in children and adolescents; this entail that it will be difficult to detect which children are at risk of developing the syndrome. It is therefore important to pursue further research on childhood obesity and metabolic syndrome and the impact of physical activity.
