Effect of adipose tissue on the sexual dimorphism in metabolic flexibility.

30 Oct 2009 Metabolic flexibility is the ability to transition between fat oxidation (fasting state) and glucose oxidation (fed state). We hypothesized that adipose tissue inflammation and lipid metabolism contribute to sexual dimorphism in metabolic ... Read more...

Spasticity and bone density after a spinal cord injury.

30 Oct 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive, cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between spasticity and bone mineral density in the lower extremities in individuals with a motor complete spinal cord injury. METHODS: Eighteen individuals, ... Read more...

Cardiometabolic risk of second-generation antipsychotic medications during first-time use in children and adolescents.

26 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Cardiometabolic effects of second-generation antipsychotic medications are concerning but have not been sufficiently studied in pediatric and adolescent patients naive to antipsychotic medication. OBJECTIVE: To study the association of ... Read more...
