Exercise training for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease: What to pursue and how to do it
Exercise training for patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease: What to pursue and how to do it
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus suffer from dysregulation of a plethora of cardiovascular and metabolic functions, including dysglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, arterial hypertension, obesity and a reduced cardiorespiratory fitness. Exercise training has the potential to improve many of these functions, such as insulin sensitivity, lipid profile, vascular reactivity and cardiorespiratory fitness, particularly in type 2 diabetes...

Is there a causal relationship between obesity and puberty?
Is there a causal relationship between obesity and puberty?
The onset of puberty in adolescents and whether it is related to obesity is an ongoing topic for debate. Epidemiological cross-sectional and longitudinal studies show a shift towards earlier onset of puberty in girls who are obese; however, the situation is less clear in boys. Boys who are overweight seem to mature earlier, and boys who are obese mature later, than... Read more Read more
