Weight loss reduces C-reactive protein levels in obese postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and has been positively associated with body weight and body fatness. We examined the hypothesis that weight loss would reduce plasma CRP levels in obese postmenopausal women. METHODS AND RESULTS In a sample of 61 obese (body mass index, 35.6 +/- 5.0 kg/m(2)), postmenopausal women (a...
متن کاملModerate dietary weight loss reduces myocardial triglycerides in obese women
Methods Non diabetic overweight and obese women were submitted to a six months hypocaloric diet with either fat or carbohydrate restriction. Cardiac structure and function was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MTG content by proton spectroscopy (MRS) in 35 subjects at baseline and follow-up. Anthropometric and metabolic parameters as well as cardio-respiratory fitness were measured.
متن کاملHigh-Protein Intake during Weight Loss Therapy Eliminates the Weight-Loss-Induced Improvement in Insulin Action in Obese Postmenopausal Women.
High-protein (HP) intake during weight loss (WL) therapy is often recommended because it reduces the loss of lean tissue mass. However, HP intake could have adverse effects on metabolic function, because protein ingestion reduces postprandial insulin sensitivity. In this study, we compared the effects of ∼10% WL with a hypocaloric diet containing 0.8 g protein/kg/day and a hypocaloric diet cont...
متن کاملSerum levels of C-reactive protein are associated with obesity, weight gain, and hormone replacement therapy in healthy postmenopausal women.
The authors evaluated the cross-sectional and prospective associations between the serum concentration of C-reactive protein and measures of obesity and fat distribution, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use, and serum sex hormones in postmenopausal women from the Healthy Women Study (Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, 1998). The authors tested the hypothesis that C-reactive protein levels would ...
متن کاملCardiometabolic risk after weight loss and subsequent weight regain in overweight and obese postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Little is known about the effect of intentional weight loss and subsequent weight regain on cardiometabolic risk factors in older adults. The objective of this study was to determine how cardiometabolic risk factors change in the year following significant intentional weight loss in postmenopausal women, and if observed changes were affected by weight and fat regain. METHODS Eighty...
