The Relationship Between Psychosocial Factors and Adherence to Treatment in Men, Premenopausal and Menopausal Women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic disease that begins in adulthood, and is caused by multiple factors. The onset of menopause involves changes that predispose women to the development of T2DM, which can worsen if the adherence to treatment is inadequate due to psychosocial factors or medications. The present study aims to describe the psychosocial factors that may affect adherence to treatment among men and premenopausal and menopausal women with T2DM.

Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Cardiometabolic Risk.

Purpose Of Review: This report analyzes emerging evidence about the role of dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) as a cardiometabolic risk factor. Two important aspects are discussed: First, the modulation of AGE load by dietary AGEs; second, if the evidence of clinical and observational studies is enough to make dietary recommendations towards lowering AGE intake.

Recent Findings: Clinical studies in subjects with diabetes mellitus have shown that high intake of dietary AGEs increases inflammation markers, oxidative stress, and could impair endothelial function.

Effect of an advanced glycation end product-restricted diet and exercise on metabolic parameters in adult overweight men.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to review the effect of a low advanced glycation end product (AGEs) diet, exercise, and a combination of both on circulating AGE levels as well as on plasma lipids and anthropometric parameters.

Methods: Forty-three overweight or obese men (body mass index [BMI] >25 kg/m(2)), 30 to 55 y, participated in a 12-wk study and were randomly assigned to one of three groups: low AGE diet, exercise with habitual food intake, or exercise plus low AGE diet. Exercise was for 45 min at 65% to 75% of their maximum heart rate three times a week.

[Aerobic 12-week training reduces cardiovascular risk factors in overweight teenagers].

Background: Obesity and low cardiorespiratory fitness are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.

Aim: To examine changes in cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk factors after an exercise program without any dietary change in sedentary overweight teenagers.

Methods: Fifteen obese young males (15.

[Contributions of proteomics in the study of diabetes].

The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is growing rapidly due to aging, urbanization, changes in lifestyle, and increasing prevalence of obesity. In T2D, chronic hyperglycemia leads to macro and micro vascular complications, which currently are serious problem for health systems worldwide. The complexity of T2D and its complications requires study skills of high performance that provide important information in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease and biological pathways involved in development of T2D and its complications.

Knowledge, attitudes, and behavior concerning nutrition and physical activity in Mexican children.

Objective: To identify the stages of behavior change and the knowledge, attitudes, and habits concerning nutrition and physical activity in Mexican children.

Methods: A survey was applied to 48 children from 10 years old to obtain data. Stages of behavior change were classified according to the transtheoretical model.

[Acute responses on lipid profile by practicing cycling].

Background: it has been demonstrated an association between the increase in physical activity and improvements in the lipid profile.

Objective: to evaluate changes in the serum lipids caused by spinning practice.

Methods: nine men and twelve women were studied, they underwent to an initial evaluation that included a treadmill effort test, in order to establish the physical fitness level.
