Beneficial cardiovascular effects of bariatric surgical and dietary weight loss in obesity.

16 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: We hypothesized that, in obese persons without comorbidities, cardiovascular responses to excess weight are reversible during weight loss by either bariatric surgery or diet. BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with cardiac hypertrophy, ... Read more...

[Obesity in schoolchildren from Merida, Venezuela: association with cardiovascular risk factors]

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of obesity and associated cardiovascular risk factors in schoolchildren in our city, given the influence of these factors on the development of atherosclerosis. METHODS: We studied a representative sample of ... Read more...

Predicting abdominal adipose tissue among women with familial partial lipodystrophy.

30 May 2009 The objective of the study was to determine correlations between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of truncal adiposity (trunk fat percentage [TrF %(MRI)], visceral adipose tissue [VAT], and subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue [SAT]), ... Read more...
