Objective: To evaluate the effect on anthropometric, metabolic and adipose tissue parameters of switching ART-controlled persons living with HIV (PLWH) from a protease inhibitor regimen to raltegravir/maraviroc. Design: Sub-study ANRS157 ROCnRAL study investigation subcutaneous abdominal (SCAT) biopsy at inclusion end. Methods: We performed lipoaspiration paired SCAT samples, histology fresh/fi...

This study was carried out to determine the relationship between anxiety levels of players playing in Men‘s Water Polo Turkish First Division (known as Super League) teams at different periods and their nutritional status, diet quality. The conducted among 60 who professionally play water polo sports clubs. In order time periods, Sports Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT-A) applied on two days. To ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes and adipocytes. We utilized adipose tissue as our primary source, since it is a rich source of MSCs as well as it can be harvested using a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue (VSAT, SCAT respectively) samples were cultured usi...

In response to lack of access to healthy foods, many low-income communities are instituting local healthy corner store programs. Some stores also participate in the United States Department of Agriculture's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This study used two assessment tools to compare the he...

Some of the most compelling examples of ecological responses to climate change are elevational range shifts of individual species, which have been observed throughout the world. A growing body of evidence, however, suggests substantial mediation of simple range shifts due to climate change by other limiting factors. Understanding limiting factors for a species within different contexts, therefo...

The aim of this study was to investigate the time-course of the expression of key lipolysis-regulating genes in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) during different phases of a 6-month dietary intervention. Fifteen obese women (BMI 34.7+/-1.0 kg.m(-2)) underwent a 6-month dietary intervention consisting of 1 month very low calorie diet (VLCD), followed by 2 months low calorie diet (LCD) and ...

The report describes discrepancies between current and historical carrying capacity for the SRKW, but fails to discuss options for increasing current carrying capacity. The report also appears to be overwhelmingly focused on broad demographic associations between annual SRKW population growth and fish abundance that occur over a relatively long time scale. Too little attention is paid to change...

Optimal collection and preservation protocols for fecal DNA genotyping are not firmly established. We evaluated 3 factors that influence microsatellite genotyping success of fecal DNA extracted from coyote (Canis latrans) scats: 1) age of scat, 2) preservative, and 3) diet content.We quantified genotyping success by comparing rates of allelic dropout, false alleles, and failed amplifications am...
