POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WHO RECEIVED HORMONE THERAPY (HT)

POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN WHO RECEIVED HORMONE THERAPY (HT) and calcium and vitamin D (CaD) supplementation were significantly less likely to suffer hip fractures compared to women who received only HT. (Menopause [published online June 2013])

LOW LEVELS OF SERUM VITAMIN D

LOW LEVELS OF SERUM VITAMIN D were associated with high levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV), and vice versa, among patients with chronic hepatitis B infection; the study also found a seasonal inverse association. (Hepatology [published online May 2013])

WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAMS WITH VERY LOW CALORIE DIETS (VLCD)

WEIGHT-LOSS PROGRAMS WITH VERY LOW CALORIE DIETS (VLCD) of 500 kcal per day carried a 3- fold greater risk of symptomatic gallstones than programs with low calorie diets (LCD) of 1200 –1500 kcal per day, a study in Sweden reported. (Int J Obes [published online June 2013])

GROWTH HORMONE (GH) AND INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I (IGF-I)

GROWTH HORMONE (GH) AND INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR I (IGF-I) activity in the pituitarygonadalaxis in males was positively associated with serum estradiol, and high GH activity was associated with reduced levels of the Sertoli cell marker Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH). (Andrology [July 2013] 1:595)

TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (TRT)

TESTOSTERONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY (TRT) was shown to increase the number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), indicating that TRT may help to lower the risk of endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular events among hypogonadal men. (Andrology [July 2013] 1:563)

A COMPARISON OF LEAN INDIVIDUALS

A COMPARISON OF LEAN INDIVIDUALS to insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant obese subjects showed little difference across subjects in uptake of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) from abdominal subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT), suggesting that visceral WAT contributes more to the phenotype of metabolic syndrome.(Am J Physiol [June 2013] 304:E1175)

POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN DEMONSTRATED LOWER LEVELS

POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN DEMONSTRATED LOWER LEVELS of lean body mass (LBM) compared with premenopausal women, and had correspondingly reduced whole body fat oxidation during exericise. (Am J Physiol [June 2013] 304:E1227)

HIGH DOSES OF CORTICOSTEROIDS

HIGH DOSES OF CORTICOSTEROIDS led to an increased risk of diabetes-related hospitalizations among patients with diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), but lower doses showed no impact on risk. (Diabetes Care [published online June 2013])
