Menopause-related decline in estrogen levels is accompanied by a change in adipose
tissue distribution from a gynoid to an android and an increased prevalence of obesity in …

One of the concepts explaining the coincidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is the
metaflammation theory. This chronic, low-grade inflammatory state originating from …

In recent years, there has been a large amount of evidence on the role of microRNA

Obesity and associated metabolic co-morbidities are a worldwide public health problem.
Negative health outcomes associated with obesity, however, do not arise from excessive …

Adipokines are essential mediators produced by adipose tissue and exert multiple biological
functions. In particular, adiponectin, leptin, resistin, IL-6, MCP-1 and PAI-1 play specific roles …

Adiposity and adipokines are implicated in the loss of skeletal muscle mass with age and in
several chronic disease states. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of human …

Liver diseases and in particular end stage liver diseases are frequently complicated by
muscle modifications that are linked to worse clinical outcome. In addition, recent studies …

known to increase the circulating concentration of cytokines. Exercise is also known to …

Women are generally less active than men; therefore, the search for an attractive form of
physical activity that benefits women's health is underway. This study aimed to investigate …
