Article Abstract

The present systematic review was compiled to analyze the effectiveness of High-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols on the body composition of rodents with obesity. Databases were searched until February 2021 for experimental trials in rodents with a minimum duration of four weeks of HIIT and endpoints associated with obesity. The data were analyzed by meta-analysis performed for comparisons of body composition. Sensitivity analysis was performed to investigate the consistency of individual researches. Of all of the 524 studies found, only 14 were included. The analysis showed a significant reduction in body weight ([CI 95%: -8.35; -1.98] P ≤ 0.01), adiposity index ([IC 95%: -1.04; -0.80] P ≤ 0.01), and fat pads ([IC 95%: -0.59; -0.06] P ≤ 0.01). HIIT performed on treadmill or water was effective to reduce body weight (P < 0.05). In conclusion, HIIT attenuated both body weight and adiposity induced either by HFD (high-fat diet) or by GOM (genetic obese model), thereby inducing positive changes in body composition.

The adverse effects of Western diets (WD), high in both fat and simple sugars, which contribute to obesity and related disorders, have been extensively studied in laboratory rodents, but not in non-laboratory animals, which limits the scope of conclusions. Unlike laboratory mice or rats, non-laboratory rodents that reduce body mass for winter do not become obese when fed a high-fat diet. However, it is not known whether these rodents are also resistant to the adverse effects of WD.

Biofilms-microbial communities encased in a self-produced extracellular matrix-pose a significant challenge in clinical settings due to their association with chronic infections and antibiotic resistance. Their formation in the human body is governed by a complex interplay of biological and environmental factors, including the biochemical composition of bodily fluids, fluid dynamics, and cell-cell and cell-surface interactions. Improving therapeutic strategies requires a deeper understanding of how host-specific conditions shape biofilm development.

Loss of Skeletal Muscle Mass Is Associated With Reduced Cytotoxic T Cell Abundance and Poor Survival in Advanced Lung Cancer.

Department of Surgery, NUTRIM School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands.

Background: Body composition alterations such as skeletal muscle (SM) loss in cancer patients are associated with poor survival. In turn, immune cell-driven pathways have been linked to muscle wasting. We aimed to investigate the relationship between body composition, tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and survival in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Objective: This secondary analysis was conducted to compare the magnitude of adaptive thermogenesis (AT) following hypocaloric low-carbohydrate (CHO) versus low-fat diets in African American (AA) women.

Methods: Sixty-nine AA women with obesity were randomized to low-CHO or low-fat hypocaloric diets for 10 weeks, followed by a 4-week weight stabilization period (all food provided). At baseline and Week 13, insulin sensitivity (S) was measured by intravenous glucose tolerance test, body composition by bioimpedance analysis, total energy expenditure (EE) (TEE) by doubly labeled water, and resting EE (REE) by indirect calorimetry.

Background: We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of using additional obesity management medications (OMMs) within the first year after undergoing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 246 patients who underwent primary LSG in our institution and were followed up for at least 12 months. We collected body weights preoperatively and at three, six, 12, and 24 months postoperatively, along with body composition and laboratory results preoperatively and at 12 months.
