Article Synopsis
- CLOCK is a transcription factor that influences biological rhythms and has been linked to various factors such as sleep patterns and obesity, but research on its effect on adolescents' dietary habits is limited.
- A study involving 300 adolescents explored the relationship between specific CLOCK gene polymorphisms (rs3749474, rs4580704, and rs1801260) and their impacts on weight, dietary energy intake, and meal frequency.
- Results showed that certain gene variants were associated with increased risks of obesity, higher energy intake, snacking habits, and a correlation between breakfast frequency and BMI, indicating the potential influence of genetics on adolescent dietary behaviors and metabolism.
The Effect of Dietary Acid Load on Cardiometabolic Risk, Psychological Resilience and Sleep Quality in Adolescents with Obesity.
J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol
September 2024
Objective: Mild metabolic acidosis may adversely affect cardiovascular risk factors, and diet-dependent acid-base load may impair mental health and sleep quality. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary acid load on cardiometabolic risk factors, psychological resilience, and sleep quality in adolescents with obesity.
Methods: 205 adolescents with obesity (105 males, 100 females) aged 13-18 years participated in the study.
Introduction: The optimal dietary strategy to improve the metabolic and reproductive endocrine profile in adolescents with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is undefined. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the MEtabolic Syndrome REduction in NAvarra (RESMENA) diet versus a control diet based on American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for the treatment of PCOS in adolescents with PCOS.
Methods: A total of 40 adolescents diagnosed with PCOS between the ages of 13-18 years were randomized to either a RESMENA or control diet for 6 months.
Is blue light exposure a cause of precocious puberty in male rats?
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
July 2023
Purpose: Our study aimed to examine the effects of blue light exposure on prepubertal male rats' puberty and testis tissue.
Methods: Eighteen 21-day-old male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups consisting of six rats in each group: Control Group (CG), Blue Light-6 hours (BL-6), and Blue Light-12 hours (BL-12). CG rats were maintained with 12/12-hour light-dark cycles.
Effects of Blue Light on Puberty and Ovary in Female Rats.
J Clin Res Pediatr Endocrinol
November 2023
Objective: This study was designed to examine the effect of blue light exposure and exposure time on puberty in an animal model.
Methods: Eighteen 21-day-old female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three equal groups which were: control group (CG); blue light-6 hours (BL-6); and blue light-12 hours (BL-12). CG rats were maintained with 12/12-hour light-dark cycles.
