The possible relationship between plasma androgenic activity and acne vulgaris was investigated. Plasma testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels were determined in healthy girls dur…
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of body weight, body composition, parental obesity, and metabolic variables on the development of obesity in a large cohort of 5-year-old Native American children with…
Sequence variations in a variety of pro- or anti-inflammatory cytokine genes have been found to influence successful aging and longevity. Because of the role played by the transforming growth factor b…
The principal objective of this study was to determine the effect of a short period of severe dietary zinc restriction on both prebreakfast and postbreakfast plasma zinc concentrations. After an overn…
Short-term salt loading and salt restriction in a group of normal pregnant women produced no changes in lying, sitting or standing blood pressures or heart rates. Home blood pressures showed no trend …
OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms of the Fok1 locus on bone mass accrual in Indian girls used to a low calcium intake.METHODS: An intervention trial …
Low birthweight is a risk factor for later adverse health. Here the impact of placentally mediated prenatal growth restriction followed by postnatal nutrient abundance on growth, glucose metabolism an…
BACKGROUND: A cross-sectional study in northern Taiwan was conducted to investigate the role of serum insulin level on the development of hyperglycemia, hypertension, obesity and hyperlipidemia.METHOD…
The purpose of this study was to document the temporal changes in vascular reactivity occurring simultaneously in central, peripheral and microvascular resistance arteries in the same cohort of women …
Within- and across-day stability of plasma-free homovanillic acid (pHVA) was assessed in children and adults with Tourette's syndrome. A diurnal fall in pHVA was observed in 13 of 15 subjects. There w…
The aim of the study was to investigate the association between duration of playing video games and bone mineral density (BMD) in Chinese adolescents. Three hundred eighty-four Chinese adolescents age…
OBJECTIVE: To study the relationships between physical activity and plasma leptin levels in children from a population-based study, taking into account puberty stages.DESIGN: Subjects were part of the…
To clarify the effects of lead on fetal premature rupture of the membranes (PROM), blood lead concentrations were measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry in 332 women, aged 16-35 y…
BACKGROUND: Several observational studies have recently suggested an inverse association of circulating levels of vitamin D with blood pressure. These findings have been based mainly on Caucasian popu…
The diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to a deficiency of the enzyme 17 alpha-hydroxylase was made in a genetic male and female sibling pair born of parents who were first cousins. The ge…
This longitudinal study evaluated the effects of a triathlon season on bone metabolism and hormonal status. Seven male competitive triathletes (mean age 19.3 years, range 18 - 20) with 5.0 +/- 0.3 yea…
Suitably controlled serosurveillance surveys are essential for evaluating human papillomavirus (HPV) immunization programs. A panel of plasma samples from 18-year-old females was assembled, the majori…
Umbilical cord blood or serum concentrations of mercury, lead, selenium and copper were measured with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry in a population of 300 infants born in Baltimore, Mar…
OBJECTIVE: The distribution of plasma total homocysteine concentrations in a population of South West of Iran Shiraz is described to test for differences in homocysteine concentrations among gender an…
PURPOSE: We investigated the energy system contributions and total energy expenditure during low intensity endurance exercise associated with blood flow restriction (LIE-BFR) and without blood flow re…
