Effects of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Mediterranean Diet in Overweight or Obese Postmenopausal Women With Breast Cancer Receiving Adjuvant Hormone Therapy: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Weight management is recommended in overweight or obese breast cancer patients, as they have an increased risk of cancer recurrence and poor prognosis. Furthermore, identifying the relationships between genetic factors and nutrition could help suggest possible individualized nutritional solutions in weight management. The objective of this pilot randomized controlled trial was to investigate the influence of two obesity-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms and the Mediterranean diet intervention on weight loss and modification of nutrient intake and metabolic parameters in overweight or obese, postmenopausal, breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant hormone therapy.

The multi-domain exercise intervention for memory and brain function in late middle-aged and older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease: A protocol for Western–Eastern Brain Fitness Integration Training trial

Aging is associated with cognitive decline, increased risk for dementia, and deterioration of brain function. Modifiable lifestyle factors (e.g., exercise, meditation, and social interaction) have been proposed to benefit memory and brain function. However, previous studies have focused on a single exercise modality or a single lifestyle factor.

Comparison of changes in miR-146a gene expression and serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP following interval or continuous aerobic training with calorie restriction in obese

Micro-RNAs (miRNA) are short RNA molecules that as significant regulators of physiological processes associated with obesity play important roles in body; this is while the combination of effect of interval and continuous aerobic training along with calorie restriction can affect the gene expression of miR-146a and some inflammatory factors like tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α), interleukin -6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of two types of exercise training along with intermittent calorie restriction (ICR) on miR-146a expression and TNF-α, IL-6 and CRP levels in obese women.

Effects of testosterone undecanoate on performance during multi-stressor military operations: A trial protocol for the Optimizing Performance for Soldiers II study

Thus, the OPS II study will address these limitations and test the hypothesis that a single dose of long-acting testosterone undecanoate (750 mg) will safely and steadily maintain normal testosterone concentrations and enhance military relevant measures of physical performance during, and in recovery from, a simulated, multi-stressor SUSOPS.
