Exercise Training Combined with Calanus Oil Supplementation Improves the Central Cardiodynamic Function in Older Women.

The aim of this study was to investigate the possible beneficial effects of exercise training (ET) with omega-3/Calanus oil supplementation on cardiorespiratory and adiposity parameters in elderly women. Fifty-five women (BMI: 19-37 kg/m, 62-80 years old) were recruited and randomly assigned to the 4 month intervention with ET and omega-3 supplementation (Calanus oil, ET-Calanus) or ET and the placebo (sunflower oil; ET-Placebo). The body composition was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and cardiorespiratory parameters were measured using spiroergometry and PhysioFlow hemodynamic testing.

Effect of Calanus Oil Supplementation and 16 Week Exercise Program on Selected Fitness Parameters in Older Women.

We investigated changes in functional fitness after an exercise program in combination with Calanus oil supplementation, a novel source of bioactive lipids rich in wax esters with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA). Fifty-five healthy sedentary women aged 65-80 (mean age 70.9 ± 3.

Exercise training induces insulin-sensitizing PAHSAs in adipose tissue of elderly women.

Adverse effects of aging can be delayed with life-style interventions. We examined how exercise training (ET) alone or combined with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) affects serum and adipose tissue (AT) lipidome in older women. Fifty-five sedentary older women were included in the physical activity program and given either sunflower (Placebo) or wax esters-rich (Calanus) oil capsules for 4 months.

Positive effect of long-term tailored physical activity therapy on diabetes mellitus management in an obese type 2 diabetic patient.

The case history of a 44-year-old, severely obese Caucasian man with serious decompensation of diabetes and subsequent withdrawal of high-dose insulin is reported. Insulin was withdrawn after 5 years of continuous therapy and the patient was treated for 6 months with diet, individualized physical therapy and oral antidiabetic drugs from the group of insulin sensitizers. Six months later, oral antidiabetics were discontinued for low blood glucose levels, and the treatment was limited to therapeutic life style changes.
