Aerobic exercise decreases postprandial soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 concentrations in metabolic syndrome
(2014-05) Plaisance, Eric Paul; Taylor, James Kyle; Mahurin, A Jack; Mestek, Michael L.; Moncada Jiménez, José; Fisher, Gordon; Roy, Jane; Mahan, Luke; Grandjean, Peter Walter
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of a single session of aerobic exercise conducted before and after 6 wks of niacin on postprandial concentrations of soluble vascular adhesion molecules in men with metabolic syndrome. Methods: Twelve men (46 ± 2 yrs; BMI = 34.6 ± 0.8 kg·m2; % fat = 36 ± 2; VO2max = 27.5 ± 1.7 mL·min-1·kg-1; waist circumference = 109.5 ± 2.2 cm; HDL-C = 39 ± 8 mg·dL-1; triglycerides = 300 ± 44 mg·dL-1; HOMA score = 4.4 ± 0.8) completed each of four conditions prior to ingesting a HFM (1000 kcals, 100 g fat, 18g CHO, 3 g protein): No exercise Control; Exercise - treadmill walking (500 kcal energy expenditure at 65% VO2max) performed one hour prior to a HFM; Niacin - 6 weeks of niacin (1500 mg·d-1) and; Niacin + Exercise. Blood samples were obtained prior to and at two-hour intervals for eight hours following the HFM for each condition. Soluble vascular adhesion molecule 1 (sVCAM1) and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (sICAM1) concentrations were measured and total (AUCT) and incremental (AUCI) areas under the curve were calculated. Results: Exercise decreased sVCAM1 AUCI by 2-fold compared to Control (from 1256.5 ± 146.7 to 629.1 ± 98.4 ng·mL-1 × 8 hr; p< 0.05); whereas, niacin produced a 25% reduction that did not meet statistical significance. Combining exercise with niacin reduced sVCAM1 AUCI by a similar extent to exercise alone (559.0 ± 108.5 versus 629.1 ± 98.4 ng·mL-1 × 8 hr). Postprandial sICAM1 was not affected by any of the conditions or the HFM. Conclusions: Aerobic exercise reduces postprandial sVCAM1 concentrations with no further exercise-induced reductions observed after 6 weeks of niacin therapy. sICAM1 expression appears refractory to short-term niacin therapy and responses to single sessions of moderate-intensity exercise.
Body fat predicts forced vital capacity in college males
(2003) Moncada Jiménez, José
The study was designed to determine how body fat percentage (BF%), body fat distribution (BFD), and abdominal muscular endurance (AME) relate to pul-monary function (PF) as measured by the forced vital capacity (FVC), the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), the FEV1/FVC ratio, and the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) among college (M= 22.82,SD = 2.45 yr) males (N= 60). Multiple regression analyses were calculated. A ceiling effect for AME was found; hence, AME was not used as a predictor variable in the multiple regression analyses. The distribution of MIP values was leptokurtic; therefore, MIP was excluded from the analysis. Body weight (p =.00) and body height (p=.03) were positively related to FVC. BF% was inversely (p=.05) related to FVC but was unrelated to FEV1 or FEV1/FVC. The predictor variable BFD was unrelated to FVC, FEV 1, or FEV 1 /FVC. In conclusion, increased proportions of fat were inversely related to FVC in college males.

Introducción. El abordaje y prevención de las enfermedades cardiovasculares es un reto para la Enfermería y la construcción del conocimiento. En Chile, las enfermedades cardiovasculares es uno de los temas principales incluidos en los Objetivos Sanitarios 2011-2020. Objetivo. Identificar el perfil sociodemográfico y de salud de personas con hipertensión, dislipidemia y sobrepeso del Programa de Salud Cardiovascular (PSCV) de los seis Centros de Salud Municipalizados de Concepción, Chile, en el año 2013. Material y Método. Estudio descriptivo, participaron 109 personas, entre 35 y 64 años con tres factores de riesgo cardiovascular, ingresados al PSCV. Instrumentos y mediciones: Cuestionario de datos biosociodemográficos y de salud e Indicadores Físicos: Presión Arterial Sistólica y Diastólica, Circunferencia Abdominal; Índice de Masa Corporal, Colesterol Total, Col-HDL, Col-LDL, Triglicéridos, Col-Total/HDL y LDL/HDL. Resultados. 69,7% mujeres y 30,3% hombres, 63% entre los 55-64 años. La mayoría casados, 53,3% en condición laboral ocupada. Los medicamentos permanentes más utilizados son Atorvastatina, Losartán y Enalapril. Los encuestados consumen tres comidas al día, el 67% se autopercibe en peso normal, el 40% no realiza ninguna acción para mantener su peso. En los indicadores físicos, las mujeres destacan las cifras promedio: CT 190,2mg/dl, Col-LDL 114,7mg/dl, CA 94,5cm y Presión Arterial 131/90mmHg. En cuanto a los hombres, las cifras promedio muestran: CT 181,5mg/dl, Col-LDL 109,4mg/dl, CA 98,5cm y Presión Arterial 137/94mmHg. Conclusión. Los resultados permiten formular estrategias innovadoras de intervención de enfermería para reducir la prevalencia de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular en la población con hipertensión, sobrepeso y dislipidemia, adecuada al nivel educativo y al sexo.
