Improvements on Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Factors in Obese Adolescents: A Randomized Exercise Intervention Study.

Background: It is unclear how different exercise intensities affect cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in obese adolescents. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of high-intensity (HIT) vs. low-intensity (LIT) aerobic training on CVD risk factors in obese adolescents.

Arsenic tolerance of cyanobacterial strains with potential use in biotechnology.

The arsenic content of various water bodies in Argentina is higher than the acceptable levels for human and animal uses. Cyanobacteria are widely distributed in aquatic environments and can bioaccumulate arsenic (As). This study presents the response of indigenous cyanobacteria to As(III) and As(V), including the species Tolypothrix tenuis, Nostoc muscorum and Nostoc minutum, previously used with biotechnological purposes.

Relationship between lipid and hematological profiles with adiposity in obese adolescents.

Background: An excess of weight including obesity have reached epidemic rates in all age groups, both in developed and developing countries. It is notable that overweight children and adolescents have a higher likelihood of becoming obese adults and to present health-related problems early in life.

Objectives: [corrected] To verify associations of the lipid and hematological profiles with adiposity in obese adolescents beginning multidisciplinary weight loss therapy.

Acute effects of aerobic exercise on mood and hunger feelings in male obese adolescents: a crossover study.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the acute effects of exercise intensity on anxiety, mood states and hunger in obese adolescents.

Methods: Subjects were eight male obese adolescents (age 15.44 ± 2.

Molecular characterization and susceptibility testing of Helicobacter pylori strains isolated in western Argentina.

Objective: To characterize Helicobacter pylori isolates from western Argentina using virulence markers and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in order to assess the association between virulent genotypes, antimicrobial resistance, and disease. DNA fingerprinting was also evaluated for the segregation of virulent or resistant strain clusters.

Methods: Genotyping of 299 H.

Growth of Helicobacter pylori in medium supplemented with cyanobacterial extract.

Solid and liquid media supplemented only with a cyanobacterial extract (CE) and free of fetal calf serum (FCS), blood, and its derivatives support the growth of Helicobacter pylori. A total of 11 strains of H. pylori isolated from gastric biopsy samples were successfully subcultured in Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with 0.
