Aim: we investigated the effects of a 10 week training program (i.e., minute oscillatory stretching; MOS) on the mechanical responses and walking capability in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Alternatively, this information could be obtained by monitoring urinary excretion of conjugated metabolites of ovarian steroids such as pregnanediol 3-glucuronide (PDG) using immunoassay techniques that have methodological limitations. The aim of the present study was to develop a mass spectrometry (MS)-based method for the rapid and accurate measurement of urinary PDG levels in spot urine samples.

What Is Known Already: Obesity is an important issue in women with PCOS, in terms of frequency and pathophysiological implications. It has been hypothesized that obesity may be favoured by alterations in REE, but the studies have been limited and conflicting.
