Adiposity and cardiac autonomic function in children with a family history of obesity.

Purpose: Data on associations between adiposity and heart rate variability (HRV) in prepubertal children are limited. We examined the associations between adiposity indices and HRV, independent of lifestyle behaviors, comparing multiple indicators of adiposity, and explored differences between boys and girls.

Methods: Data stem from 469 participants of the QUALITY cohort (630 children aged 8-10 years with a parental history of obesity).

Comparison of two carbohydrate intake strategies to improve glucose control during exercise in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes.

Background And Aims: During aerobic physical activity (PA), hypoglycemia is common in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Few studies have compared the effectiveness of different carbohydrate (CHO) intake strategies to prevent PA-induced hypoglycemia. Our objective was to compare the efficacy of two CHO intake strategies, same total amount but different CHO intake timing, to maintain glucose levels in the target range (4.

Diet-induced obesity in young mice: Consequences on the pancreatic intrinsic nervous system control of insulin secretion.

Introduction: Obesity has become a pandaemic even in children. We aimed to investigate the impact of obesity in youth on later pancreatic intrinsic nervous system (PINS) phenotype and control of insulin secretion.

Methods: Young mice (5-week-old, T0 group) were fed either a normal diet (ND group) or a Western diet (WD group) for 12 weeks.

Blood Pressure, Heart Rate Variability, and Adiposity in Caribbean Pre-pubertal Children.

Childhood obesity prevalence has increased over the last 30 years. The Heart Rate Variability (HRV) studies performed in adults suggest a possible relation between abnormal autonomic regulation and hypertension in the situation of overweight or obesity. The aims of this study were to explore the early relationships between adiposity and blood pressure and HRV in pre-pubertal children.
