Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women, and women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) experience especially elevated risk. This study examined the association between testosterone and vascular function in 61 reproductive-aged females with CKD. Testosterone levels and measures of vascular function were assessed, including pulse wave velocity, aortic augmentation, flow-mediated dilation (FMD), and velocity time integral.

- Young women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a higher risk for cardiovascular mortality, and this study investigates the relationship between anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and vascular function specifically in this population.
- AMH levels were found to be inversely associated with age and positively correlated with vascular health indicators, such as brachial artery flow-mediated dilation and aortic augmentation index, in non-dialysis-dependent CKD participants.
- The findings suggest that AMH may serve as a significant marker for cardiovascular risk in young women with CKD, especially since no associations were found in those on dialysis, indicating the need for further research in this area.
Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly worldwide within the last decade. As obesity is recognised as a contributing factor when developing various health threatening chronic diseases, prevention initiatives focusing on weight loss are becoming more important. Because of the time spent at the workplace, workplaces can be optimal arenas for weight loss programs and these programs have been effective to decrease body weight.

Background: The effect of insulin on the endocrine pancreas has been the subject of extensive study, but quantitative morphometric investigations of the exocrine pancreas are scarce. This study was therefore undertaken to investigate the effect of acute and chronic insulin administration (two doses, 0.4 IU and 4 IU) on the morphology of rat pancreas acini.
