Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how various factors like sex, vaccine type, body fat percentage, and stress affect immune responses (measured by Ig-G anti-RBD) to COVID-19 in 108 young participants, mostly females with an average age of 21.4.
- - Results showed that body fat percentage impacts immune response differently in males and females: increased body fat decreased Ig-G levels in males, while it increased levels in females, regardless of the vaccine used.
- - These findings suggest the importance of considering sex and body composition in understanding vaccine efficacy and could guide educational and health policies to reduce health disparities related to COVID-19.
Aim: The TGF-β gene participates in the development of chronic kidney disease. We investigated whether the 869 T > C, 915 G > C and -800 G > A polymorphisms of TGF-β1 are associated with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods: Polymorphisms were genotyped in 439 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, 233 with diabetic nephropathy (DN+) and 206 without (DN-).
