Differences in segmental fat accumulation patterns by sex and ethnicity: An international approach.

Excess fat on the body impacts obesity-related co-morbidity risk; however, the location of fat stores affects the severity of these risks. The purpose of this study was to examine segmental fat accumulation patterns by sex and ethnicity using international datasets. An amalgamated and cross-calibrated dataset of dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-measured variables compiled segmental mass for bone mineral content (BMC), lean mass (LM), and fat mass (FM) for each participant; percentage of segment fat (PSF) was calculated as PSF = (FM/(BMC + LM + FM)) × 100.

Comprehensive study of the rheological status and intensity of oxidative stress during the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus to prevent its complications.

Background: Prevention of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) requires a modifying effect on the pathological processes inducing the β-cell dysfunction.

Objectives: the comprehensive study of the violation of rheological parameters in patients with different stages of diabetes and identification of possible links between these alterations with the intensity of the oxidative stress in the patient's body.

Methods: 60 patients with IR, prediabetes, T2DM and healthy volunteers were included.

Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C Polymorphisms in Georgian Females with Hypothyroidism.

The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( gene polymorphisms in Georgian females with hypothyroidism. Thirty-four patients and 29 healthy individuals were recruited in this study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses were used for genotyping of polymorphisms.

[METABOLIC SECRETION IN REPRODUCTIVE AGE WOMEN WITH OBESITY].

For the last decade melatonin has attracted attention as a neuroregulator in pathogenesis of obesity and metabolic syndrome. The aim of our study is to evaluate the characteristics of metabolic secretion in obese women of reproductive age. The study was conducted on the total number of 120 women.

Melatonin Level Variations with Different Behavioural Risk Factors in Obese Female Patients.

Aim: The role of behavioural factors and sleep duration and quality is important in the pathogenesis of obesity. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of behavioural risk factors on melatonin secretion in women.

Subjects And Methods: In total, 120 female patients were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups according to the body mass index.
