Sleep differences in one-year-old children were related to obesity risks based on their parents' weight according to baseline longitudinal study data.

Aim: Parental obesity is the predominant risk factor for child obesity. We compared sleep in one-year-old children with different obesity risks, based on parental weight, and explored associations with weight, parental sleep and family factors.

Methods: Baseline data from 167 families participating in a longitudinal obesity prevention programme was used.

Internet-vs. group-delivered cognitive behavior therapy for insomnia: A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to compare guided Internet-delivered to group-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for insomnia. We conducted an 8-week randomized controlled non-inferiority trial with 6-months follow-up. Participants were forty-eight adults with insomnia, recruited via media.

Obesogenic dietary intake in families with 1-year-old infants at high and low obesity risk based on parental weight status: baseline data from a longitudinal intervention (Early STOPP).

Purpose: To compare dietary intake in 1-year-old infants and their parents between families with high and low obesity risk, and to explore associations between infant dietary intake and relative weight.

Methods: Baseline analyses of 1-year-old infants (n = 193) and their parents participating in a longitudinal obesity intervention (Early STOPP) were carried out. Dietary intake and diet quality indicators were compared between high- and low-risk families, where obesity risk was based on parental weight status.

Objectively measured physical activity in two-year-old children - levels, patterns and correlates.

Background: The aim was to describe levels, patterns and correlates of physical activity and sedentary behavior in a sample of Swedish children, two years of age, with normal weight, overweight and obese parents.

Methods: Data from 123 children, 37 with normal-weight parents and 86 with overweight/obese parents, enrolled in the Early Stockholm Obesity Prevention Project study was used. Children wore an Actigraph GT3X+ accelerometer for seven days.

Infant growth is associated with parental education but not with parental adiposity - Early Stockholm Obesity Prevention Project.

Aim: To explore the simultaneous impact of parental adiposity and education level on infant growth from birth to 12 months, adjusting for known early-life risk factors for subsequent childhood obesity.

Methods: Baseline data for 197 one-year-old children and their parents, participating in a longitudinal obesity intervention, were used. Obesity risk groups, high/low, were defined based on parental body mass index (n = 144/53) and parental education (n = 57/139).

An anaplerotic role for mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Previous studies of the mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase (mtCA) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii showed that expression of the two genes encoding this enzyme activity required photosynthetically active radiation and a low CO(2) concentration. These studies suggested that the mtCA was involved in the inorganic carbon-concentrating mechanism. We have now shown that the expression of the mtCA at low CO(2) concentrations decreases when the external NH(4)(+) concentration decreases, to the point of being undetectable when NH(4)(+) supply restricts the rate of photoautotrophic growth.

A photosystem II-associated carbonic anhydrase regulates the efficiency of photosynthetic oxygen evolution.

We show for the first time that Cah3, a carbonic anhydrase associated with the photosystem II (PSII) donor side in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, regulates the water oxidation reaction. The mutant cia3, lacking Cah3 activity, has an impaired water splitting capacity, as shown for intact cells, thylakoids and PSII particles. To compensate this impairment, the mutant overproduces PSII reaction centres (1.

Vascular permeability in acute triethyltin-induced brain edema studied with FITC-dextrans, sodium fluorescein and horseradish peroxidase as tracers.

In golden hamsters, a study was made on the vascular permeability changes which might take place during the formation of triethyltin (TET)-induced brain edema. For this purpose, the animals received a single intravenous (i.v.

Distribution of exudated FITC-dextrans in experimental vasogenic brain edema produced by a focal cryogenic injury.

Mice were subjected to cortical cryogenic brain injury, and FITC-dextrans (mol. wt. 20,000 or 150,000) were injected intravenously (i.

Measurement of edema in the nervous system. Use of Percoll density gradients for determination of specific gravity in cerebral cortex and white matter under normal conditions and in experimental cytotoxic brain edema.

A method is presented by which density measurements can be performed on samples from cerebral cortex and white matter of normal and intoxicated animals using nontoxic ingredients as an alternative to the bromobenzene-kerosene technique described by Nelson et al. (1971). A continuous density gradient is prepared in a calibrated glass cylinder by using a new product, Percoll, which consists of colloidal silica particles coated with polyvinyl pyrrolidone.
