Purpose: Our primary purpose was to determine the effect of 12 months of creatine (Cr) supplementation during a supervised resistance training program on properties of bone in postmenopausal women.
Methods: Participants were randomized (double-blind) into two groups: resistance training (3 d·wk) and Cr supplementation (0.1 g·kg·d) or resistance training and placebo (Pl).
Article Synopsis
- BeneFlax is a standardized flaxseed lignan product known for its health benefits, but its safety in the general population needs to be established.
- A double-blind study with 94 healthy older adults (aged 49-87) showed that daily intake of BeneFlax (543 mg) over 6 months did not lead to hypoglycemia or hypotension.
- Results indicated that plasma glucose and blood pressure levels remained normal, suggesting that BeneFlax is safe for use without adverse effects in this age group.
The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived fat mass indices for predicting blood lipid profile in postmenopausal women. A secondary purpose was to determine whether waist circumference is comparable with DXA-derived measurements in predicting blood lipid profile. Subjects were 423 postmenopausal women (age 58.
