Abstract
It is necessary to understand the relationship between different models of exercise periodization and the reduction of cardiovascular risk in adults with obesity. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of two periodization models of combined training on the cardiovascular risk of adults with obesity of both sexes. A randomized clinical trial was conducted with adults of both sexes with obesity. They were divided into three groups: control group (CG), non-periodized combined training group (NG), and combined training group with linear periodization (PG). The NG and PG groups underwent physical exercise training regimen for 16 weeks, in three weekly sessions of 60 min each, with the volume and intensity equalized. Cardiovascular risk was measured by the overall Framingham risk score (FRS). Generalized estimation equations and individual responsiveness analyses were used, stratified by sex. A statistically significant reduction in FRS was observed only in men of the NG (pre: 2.50 ± 0.56; post: 0.50 ± 1.02; p-value = 0.001). There was no statistically significant intervention effect on the women's cardiovascular risk. It was found that, regardless of sex, subjects in the control group mostly presented results of increased cardiovascular risk. In contrast, those belonging to the exercise groups, if not reduced, at least stabilized the chances of suffering a cardiovascular event in the next ten years after 16 weeks of combined training. Sixteen weeks of non-periodized combined training were sufficient to reduce cardiovascular risk in men with obesity. Both periodization models were important to stabilize the risk of developing a cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of obesity and osteocalcin on glucose metabolism in the brain. A total of 179 healthy men were enrolled in this study. After preprocessing positron emission tomography images, including by performing coregistration, spatial normalization, and smoothing, regression analysis was conducted to identify the correlation between body mass index, osteocalcin, and brain glucose metabolism. Body mass index was positively correlated with brain glucose metabolism in the anterior lobe of the right cerebellum, the anterior and posterior lobes of the left cerebellum, the right middle frontal gyrus (Brodmann area 9), the right cingulate gyrus (Brodmann area 32), the right anterior cingulate (Brodmann area 32), the left middle frontal gyrus (Brodmann area 10), and the subgyral area of the left frontal lobe. Osteocalcin was negatively correlated with glucose metabolism in the anterior lobe of the left cerebellum. Body mass index was positively correlated with brain glucose metabolism in the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum. Osteocalcin levels were negatively correlated with brain glucose metabolism in the left cerebellum.

Abstract
The beef fatty acid (FA) profile has the potential to impact human health, and displays polygenic and complex features. This study aimed to identify the transcriptomic FA profile in the longissimus thoracis muscle in Nellore beef cattle finished in feedlot. Forty-four young bulls were sampled to assess the beef FA profile by considering 14 phenotypes and including differentially expressed genes (DEG), co-expressed (COE), and differentially co-expressed genes (DCO) analyses. All samples (n = 44) were used for COE analysis, whereas 30 samples with extreme phenotypes for the beef FA profile were used for DEG and DCO. A total of 912 DEG were identified, and the polyunsaturated (n = 563) and unsaturated ω-3 (n = 346) FA sums groups were the most frequently observed. The COE analyses identified three modules, of which the blue module (n = 1776) was correlated with eight of 14 FA phenotypes. Also, 759 DCO genes were listed, and the oleic acid (n = 358) and monounsaturated fatty acids sum (n = 120) were the most frequent. Furthermore, 243 and 13, 319 and seven, and 173 and 12 gene ontology terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways were enriched respectively for the DEG, COE, and DCO analyses. Combining the results, we highlight the unexplored GIPC2, ASB5, and PPP5C genes in cattle. Besides LIPE and INSIG2 genes in COE modules, the ACSL3, ECI1, DECR2, FITM1, and SDHB genes were signaled in at least two analyses. These findings contribute to understand the genetic mechanisms underlying the beef FA profile in Nellore beef cattle finished in feedlot.

Abstract
Aging and menopause effect on body composition and energy balance. Estrogen (E2) plays an important role in body's metabolism. The aim of the present study was to determine changes in leptin function in young intact and ovariectomized (OVX) animals in comparison to the aged animals treated with E2. Young (Intact and OVX 4 months) and aged (19-21 months) female mice were fed High-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks and, then they were divided into eight groups including: Intact + OIL, Intact + E2, Intact + Pair body weight (PBW), OVX + OIL, OVX + E2, OVX + PBW, Aged + OIL, and Aged + E2. E2 was administered subcutaneously every four days for four weeks. Responsiveness to leptin was assessed by measuring energy balance components. Results showed that eating HFD increased weight and calorie consumption in young mice, and chronic treatment with E2 decreased both these variables in young animals. E2 only improved the sensitivity to leptin in young animals. Treatment with E2 resulted in increased α-MSH neuropeptide, reduced NPY and AgRP neuropeptides in the brain, and decreased serum leptin in the young animals. Also, treatment with E2 increased the expression of p-STAT3 molecular level in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) in the young animals. Our results indicated that response to E2 depended on age and E2 protects young HFD fed mice from obesity and improves leptin sensitivity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Bariatric surgery (BS) was shown to improve inflammatory markers in previous short-term follow-up studies. The aim of the present study was to assess the long-term effects of BS on chronic low-grade inflammation markers related to severe obesity. Moreover, the meaning of the type of BS procedure as well as the remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D) for inflammatory status up to 4 years after BS was analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a retrospective cohort study including 163 patients at baseline, inflammatory and metabolic parameters were assessed at 4 time points: before surgery (baseline), 6 months after surgery (visit 1), 2 years after surgery (visit 2), and 4 years after surgery (visit 3). Univariate regression analysis was used to identify variables that were thought to determine change in inflammatory parameters. RESULTS CRP, hs-CRP, leucocytes, and ferritin significantly declined in the mid- and long-term according to the U-shaped curve of weight loss (p<0.001). Change in body mass index (BMI) at long-time follow-up showed a significant linear effect on change in leucocytes (B=0.082; p<0.001) and change in hs-CRP (B=0.03; p<0.05). There was a strong, positive correlation between T2D and hs-CRP at visit 2 (rs=0.195; p<0.05) and visit 3 (rs=0.36; p=0.001). With regard to type of surgery and gender, there were no significant differences in inflammatory parameters. CONCLUSION BS is able to reduce obesity-related chronic low-grade inflammation up to 4 years after surgical intervention. The improvement in metaflammation is related to the change in BMI and remission of T2D in the long-term.

Abstract
Obesity is associated with inflammation, dysregulated adipokine secretion, and disrupted adipose tissue mitochondrial function. Estradiol (E2) has been previously reported to increase mitochondrial function and biogenesis in several cell lines, but neither the type of oestrogen receptor (ERα, ERβ and GPER) involved nor the mechanism whereby such effects are exerted have been fully described. Considering the anti-inflammatory activity of E2 as well as its effects in enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis, the aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of ERα, ERβ, and GPER signaling to the E2-mediated enhancement of adipocyte mitochondrial function in a pro-inflammatory situation. 3T3-L1 cells were treated for 24 h with ER agonists (PPT, DPN, and G1) and antagonists (MPP, PHTPP, and G15) in the presence or absence of interleukin 6 (IL6), as a pro-inflammatory stimulus. Inflammation, mitochondrial function and biogenesis markers were analyzed. To confirm the involvement of the PKA pathway, cells were treated with a GPER agonist, a PKA inhibitor, and IL6. Mitochondrial function markers were analyzed. Our results showed that activation of ERα and GPER, but not ERβ, was able to counteract the proinflammatory effects of IL6 treatment, as well as mitochondrial biogenesis and function indicators. Inhibition of PKA prevented the E2- and G1-associated increase in mitochondrial function markers. In conclusion E2 prevents IL6 induced inflammation in adipocytes and promotes mitochondrial function through the combined activation of both GPER and ERα. These findings expand our understanding of ER interactions under inflammatory conditions in female rodent white adipose tissue.

Abstract
The aim was to assess inflammatory markers among adults and adolescents in relation to the adherence to the Mediterranean diet. A random sample (219 males and 379 females) of the Balearic Islands population (12-65 years) was anthropometrically measured and provided a blood sample to determine biomarkers of inflammation. Dietary habits were assessed and the adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern calculated. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome increased with age in both sexes. The adherence to the Mediterranean diet in adolescent males was 51.3% and 45.7% in adults, whereas in females 53.1% and 44.3%, respectively. In males, higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with higher levels of adiponectin and lower levels of leptin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in adults, but not in young subjects. In females, higher adherence was associated with lower levels of leptin in the young group, PAI-1 in adults and hs-CRP in both groups. With increasing age in both sexes, metabolic syndrome increases, but the adherence to the Mediterranean diet decreases. Low adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP) is directly associated with a worse profile of plasmatic inflammation markers.

Abstract
The incidence of metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes and obesity continues to increase. In addition to the well-known contributors to these disorders, such as food intake and sedentary lifestyle, recent research in the exposure science discipline provides evidence that exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like bisphenol A and phthalates via multiple routes (e.g., food, drink, skin contact) also contribute to the increased risk of metabolic disorders. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can disrupt any aspect of hormone action. It is becoming increasingly clear that EDCs not only affect endocrine function but also adversely affect immune system function. In this review, we focus on human, animal, and in vitro studies that demonstrate EDC exposure induces dysfunction of the immune system, which, in turn, has detrimental effects on metabolic health. These findings highlight how the immune system is emerging as a novel player by which EDCs may mediate their effects on metabolic health. We also discuss studies highlighting mechanisms by which EDCs affect the immune system. Finally, we consider that a better understanding of the immunomodulatory roles of EDCs will provide clues to enhance metabolic function and contribute toward the long-term goal of reducing the burden of environmentally induced diabetes and obesity.

OBJECTIVE To assess fesoterodine treatment in elderly women with overactive bladder with and without hypertension. METHODS Data for 2527 elderly women with overactive bladder symptoms, including urgency urinary incontinence, were pooled from 10 double-blind, placebo-controlled fesoterodine studies. RESULTS A total of 1523 elderly women (60.3%) had a history of hypertension, and 1004 women (39.7%) had no hypertension history. Overactive bladder symptoms, mean bodyweight and mean body mass index at baseline were significantly higher in women with overactive bladder and hypertension versus those without hypertension (P < 0.05). Statistically significant improvements in overactive bladder symptoms at week 12 were observed for fesoterodine treatment versus placebo in women with hypertension and those without (P < 0.05). The diary-dry rate (no urgency urinary incontinence episodes), the proportion with less than eight micturitions/24 h, overactive bladder symptom bother and health-related quality of life were also statistically significantly improved by fesoterodine treatment in both populations. Incidence of treatment-related adverse events with fesoterodine was similar in women with hypertension (39.3%) and without hypertension (44.6%). Dry mouth and constipation were the most common treatment-related adverse events with fesoterodine in women with hypertension (26.2% and 5.2%, respectively) and without hypertension (30.5% and 8.0%). CONCLUSIONS A relationship among the severity of overactive bladder symptoms, hypertension and obesity in elderly women is suggested. Fesoterodine provides significantly greater improvements in overactive bladder symptoms and health-related quality of life versus placebo in women with or without hypertension. Hypertension does not appear to affect the efficacy and safety of fesoterodine in elderly women with overactive bladder symptoms, including urgency urinary incontinence.

Sex- and Dose-Specific Effects of Maternal Bisphenol A Exposure on Pancreatic Islets of First- and Second-Generation Adult Mice Offspring. ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVES 2017; 125:097022. [PMID: 29161229 PMCID: PMC5915189 DOI: 10.1289/ehp1674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 80] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2017] [Revised: 07/26/2017] [Accepted: 07/26/2017] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to the environmental endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) is ubiquitous and associated with the increased risk of diabetes and obesity. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We recently demonstrated that perinatal BPA exposure is associated with higher body fat, impaired glucose tolerance, and reduced insulin secretion in first- (F1) and second-generation (F2) C57BL/6J male mice offspring. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the multigenerational effects of maternal bisphenol A exposure on mouse pancreatic islets. METHODS Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these persistent changes were determined in F1 and F2 adult offspring of F0 mothers exposed to two relevant human exposure levels of BPA (10μg/kg/d-LowerB and 10mg/kg/d-UpperB). RESULTS Both doses of BPA significantly impaired insulin secretion in male but not female F1 and F2 offspring. Surprisingly, LowerB and UpperB induced islet inflammation in male F1 offspring that persisted into the next generation. We also observed dose-specific effects of BPA on islets in males. UpperB exposure impaired mitochondrial function, whereas LowerB exposure significantly reduced β-cell mass and increased β-cell death that persisted in the F2 generation. Transcriptome analyses supported these physiologic findings and there were significant dose-specific changes in the expression of genes regulating inflammation and mitochondrial function. Previously we observed increased expression of the critically important β-cell gene, Igf2 in whole F1 embryos. Surprisingly, increased Igf2 expression persisted in the islets of male F1 and F2 offspring and was associated with altered DNA methylation. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that maternal BPA exposure has dose- and sex-specific effects on pancreatic islets of adult F1 and F2 mice offspring. The transmission of these changes across multiple generations may involve either mitochondrial dysfunction and/or epigenetic modifications. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP1674.

Abstract
This study aims to determine the potency of CV 12 acupuncture as prevention of weight gain in ovariectomizedmice (OVX). Female mice strain BALB/c, 28 mice, 3-4 weeks, 25-35 grams were divided into four groups; namely K1 (n = 8, sham and vehiculum injection), K2 (n = 8, OVX and vehiculum injection), K3 (n = 7, OVX and injection of estrogen intraperitoneal 10 mg/kg/day) and K4 (n = 6, OVX and CV12 acupuncture with a frequency of 2 Hz in 10 mA of continuous spike current wave).Injection and acupuncture given every day for four weeks. Weight change in K1 (0.75 ± 2.8) grams, K2 (2.71 ± 2.4) grams, K3 (0.71 ± 0.95) g and K4 (0.93 ± 2.40) gram with a significant difference in the K2 and K4 (p = 0.011). a receptor expression in K1 (12.25 ± 2.96), K2 (5.43 ± 2.64), K3 (18.86 ± 1.57), K4 (17 ± 2.00) with a significant difference to the K2 K1, K3 and K4 with p<0.05. b receptor expression in K1 (11.38 ± 1.92), K2 (4 ± 1.41), K3 (16.86 ± 1.86), K4 (14.17 ± 5.24) with significantly different a receptor expression in visceral fat mass on the group K2 to K1, K3 and K4 with p<0.05. CV 12 acupuncture increases the expression of a and b estrogen receptor in visceral adipose tissue of OVX mice equivalently and able to prevent the increase of weight due to the estrogen withdrawal. This point could potentially be used as one of the management ofobesity prevention in menopause.

Dietary supplementation of grape seed and skin flour mitigates brain oxidative damage induced by a high-fat diet in rat: Gender dependency. Biomed Pharmacother 2017; 87:519-526.

Abstract
It is unknown whether gender has an impact on brain injury in obesity, and, if so, whether treatment with grape seed and skin flour could exert a protective effect. Both male and female rats were fed a standard diet (SD) or a high fat diet (HFD) during eight weeks and treated with high dosage grape seed and skin flour (GSSF). Fat-induced oxidative stress was evaluated into the brain with a special emphasis on transition metals determination. HFD induced male-cholesterol overload (+78.12%) and an oxidative stress status characterized by increased lipoperoxidation (+68.97%), carbonylation (+40.28%), decreased antioxidant enzyme activities as glutathione peroxidase (-61.07%) and manganese-superoxide dismutase (-35.47%) but not catalase. Additionally HFD depleted the brain from manganese (-71.31%) and dropped glutamine synthetase activity (-36.16%), without affecting copper nor iron nor their associated enzymes. HFD also altered intracellular mediators as superoxide anion (+36.12%), calcium (+44.41%) and also calpain (+76.54%) a calcium dependent protease. Importantly all these alterations were detected exclusively in male brain and were efficiently corrected upon GSSF treatment. In conclusion, GSSF has the potential to alleviate the deleterious lipotoxic effect of HFD treatment that occurred in male brain and perhaps in post-menauposal female brain.

Abstract
Obesity is a potent predictor of cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors, including hypertension. Systemic inflammation has been suggested by a number of studies to be an important link between excess adiposity and hypertension, yet the majority of the studies have been conducted exclusively in males. This is problematic since women represent ∼53% of hypertensive cases and are more likely than men to be obese. There is a growing body of literature supporting a central role for immune cell activation in numerous experimental models of hypertension, and both the sex of the subject and the sex of the T cell have been shown to impact blood pressure (BP) responses to hypertensive stimuli. Moreover, sex steroid hormones play an important role in energy homeostasis, as well as in the regulation of immune responses; estrogen, in particular, has a well-known impact on both cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to examine whether sex or sex hormones regulate the role of the immune system in the development of hypertension and related vascular dysfunction in response to metabolic changes and stimuli, including a high-fat diet.
