..Hypogonadal obese men find it difficult to lose weight. We investigated whether the modification of macronutrient intake can alter testosterone levels independently of the body mass index. Fasted overweight or obese fertile men were asked to consume meals of polyunsaturated fats (PUFA), monounsaturated fats (MUFA), refined carbohydrates (CHO, orange juice, OJ), whey and egg albumin… Continue reading The Effect of #Macronutrients on #Reproductive Hormones in Overweight and Obese Men: A Pilot Study

Safety and efficacy of high-dose unfractionated #heparin versus high-dose enoxaparin for venous #thromboembolism prevention in morbidly obese hospitalized patients
..A single-center retrospective observational study was conducted in morbidly obese (body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m2) hospitalized patients who received either high-fixed dose enoxaparin (40 mg every 12 hours) or unfractionated heparin (7,500 units every 8 hours) for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis. ..In the 305 patients included (n=190 unfractionated heparin, n=115 enoxaparin), the incidence of major… Continue reading Safety and efficacy of high-dose unfractionated #heparin versus high-dose enoxaparin for venous #thromboembolism prevention in morbidly obese hospitalized patients
#Obesity Is the Most Common Risk Factor for Chronic #liver Disease
Obesity has been associated with liver fibrosis, yet guidelines do not emphasize it as an independent risk factor in which to have a high index of suspicion of advanced disease.. ..We prospectively recruited patients from a primary care practice with hazardous alcohol use and/or type 2 diabetes and/or obesity. Subjects were invited for a transient… Continue reading #Obesity Is the Most Common Risk Factor for Chronic #liver Disease
Association of #Obesity Phenotypes with Electrocardiographic Markers of Poor Outcomes in the General Population
This study aimed to investigate the association of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and other obesity phenotypes with electrocardiographic (#ECG) markers to understand the pathophysiological basis of increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with these phenotypes metabolically healthy without obesity [MHNO; reference] Higher odds of prolonged PR interval, P‐wave duration, and QRS duration were observed among… Continue reading Association of #Obesity Phenotypes with Electrocardiographic Markers of Poor Outcomes in the General Population
Lipid metabolism links nutrient-exercise timing to insulin sensitivity in men classified as overweight or #obese
Pre-exercise nutrient availability alters acute metabolic responses to exercise, which could modulate training responsiveness ..exercise before versus after breakfast consumption increased net intramuscular lipid utilization in type I (net change: -3.44±2.63% versus 1.44±4.18% area lipid staining, p < 0.01) and type II fibres (-1.89±2.48% versus 1.83±1.92% area lipid staining, p < 0.05). Training Study -… Continue reading Lipid metabolism links nutrient-exercise timing to insulin sensitivity in men classified as overweight or #obese
