Central obesity is detrimental to anti-inflammatory, phenotype, and exhaustion markers in mononuclear cells - A cross-sectional study.
Clin Nutr ESPEN
December 2023
Objective: To investigate the role of central obesity on immunometabolic response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from normal weight and overweight/obese young men.
Methods: Eighteen individuals were classified as normal weight (NW; n = 9 - age: 25 ± 5 and BMI: 21.4 ± 1.
Mild to moderate post-COVID-19 alters markers of lymphocyte activation, exhaustion, and immunometabolic responses that can be partially associated by physical activity level- an observational sub-analysis fit- COVID study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the relationship between physical activity and immune/metabolic responses in young adults recovering from mild-to-moderate COVID-19 infection.
- Researchers compared 20 post-COVID-19 patients with 20 healthy controls, evaluating factors like physical activity levels, body composition, and immune function.
- Results showed lower physical activity levels and altered immune markers in post-COVID-19 patients, including decreased pulmonary function and changes in serum cytokines and lymphocyte activation compared to controls.
Background: Alterations in bioimpedance parameters and postural control occur with aging and contribute to the increased risk of falls. The aim of this study was to evaluate the balance behavior in relation to bioimpedance and functionality.
Methods: We evaluated 21 elderly (men: 77.
