The endocannabinoid (EC) system has pleiotropic functions in the body. It plays a key role in energy homeostasis and the development of metabolic disorders being a mediator in the relationship between the gut microbiota and host metabolism. In the current study we explore the functional interactions between the endocannabinoid system and the gut microbiome in… Continue reading The anti-inflammatory effect of bacterial short chain fatty acids is partially mediated by endocannabinoids

#Diet-induced #fasting ghrelin elevation reflects the recovery of #insulin sensitivity and visceral adiposity regression
Lower fasting-ghrelin-levels (FGL) are associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. We aimed to explore the dynamics of FGL during weight-loss and its metabolic and adiposity-related manifestations beyond weight-loss. MethodsA secondary analysis of a clinical trial where we randomized participants with abdominal-obesity/dyslipidemia to one of three diets: healthy-dietary-guidelines (HDG), Mediterranean diet (MED), or green-MED diet, all… Continue reading #Diet-induced #fasting ghrelin elevation reflects the recovery of #insulin sensitivity and visceral adiposity regression
Cardiovascular health, genetic predisposition, and lifetime risk of type 2 #diabetes
Data on the lifetime risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence across different cardiovascular health (CVH) categories are scarce. Moreover, it remains unclear whether a genetic predisposition modifies this association. Methods and resultsUsing data from the prospective population-based Rotterdam Study, a CVH score (body mass index, blood pressure, total cholesterol, smoking status, diet, and physical… Continue reading Cardiovascular health, genetic predisposition, and lifetime risk of type 2 #diabetes
#Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome impairs mouse skeletal #muscle adaptation to exercise
Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome caused by continuous antibiotic treatment did not affect running activity.Continuous treatment with antibiotics did not result in systemic inflammation as indicated by serum cytokine levels.Gut microbiome dysbiosis was associated with blunted fiber-type specific hypertrophy in the soleus and plantaris muscles in response to progressive weighted wheel running (PoWeR).Gut microbiome dysbiosis… Continue reading #Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome impairs mouse skeletal #muscle adaptation to exercise
Effects of #Lifestyle Modification on Patients With Resistant #Hypertension: Results of the TRIUMPH Randomized Clinical Trial
#Obesity treatment: #Weight loss versus increasing #fitness and physical activity for reducing health risks
We propose a weight-neutral strategy for obesity treatment on the following grounds: (1) the mortality risk associated with obesity is largely attenuated or eliminated by moderate-to-high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or physical activity (PA), (2) most cardiometabolic risk markers associated with obesity can be improved with exercise training independent of weight loss and by… Continue reading #Obesity treatment: #Weight loss versus increasing #fitness and physical activity for reducing health risks
Association of #Cycling With All-Cause and #Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Among Persons With #DiabetesThe European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study
Premature death from all causes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes is higher among persons with diabetes. Objective To investigate the association between time spent cycling and all-cause and CVD mortality among persons with diabetes, as well as to evaluate the association between change in time spent cycling and risk of all-cause and CVD mortality. Design,… Continue reading Association of #Cycling With All-Cause and #Cardiovascular Disease Mortality Among Persons With #DiabetesThe European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study
#Steps per Day and All-Cause #Mortality in Middle-aged Adultsin the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study
IMPORTANCE Steps per day is a meaningful metric for physical activity promotion in clinical andpopulation settings. To guide promotion strategies of step goals, it is important to understand theassociation of steps with clinical end points, including mortality. OBJECTIVE To estimate the association of steps per day with premature (age 41-65 years) all-causemortality among Black and… Continue reading #Steps per Day and All-Cause #Mortality in Middle-aged Adultsin the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults Study
The effectiveness and safety of isometric #resistance training for adults with high blood #pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis
High blood pressure (BP) is a global health challenge. Isometric resistance training (IRT) has demonstrated antihypertensive effects, but safety data are not available, thereby limiting its recommendation for clinical use. We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials comparing IRT to controls in adults with elevated BP (systolic ≥130 mmHg/diastolic ≥85 mmHg). This review provides an… Continue reading The effectiveness and safety of isometric #resistance training for adults with high blood #pressure: a systematic review and meta-analysis
