A novel inflammatory biomarker, GlycA, associates with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis and cardio-metabolic risk in BMI-matched controls.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2016-04-12)BACKGROUND: RA and CVD both have inflammation as part of the underlying biology. Our objective was to explore the relationships of GlycA, a measure of glycosylated acute phase proteins, with inflammation and cardiometabolic ... -
A systematic review of reviews: exploring the relationship between obesity, weight loss and health-related quality of life.
(Clinical obesity, 2017-10)This is the first systematic review of reviews to assess the effect of obesity and weight loss on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We identified 12 meta-analyses/systematic reviews published between January 2001 and ... -
Adaptive intervention design in mobile health: Intervention design and development in the Cell Phone Intervention for You trial.
(Clin Trials, 2015-12)BACKGROUND/AIMS: The obesity epidemic has spread to young adults, and obesity is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The prominence and increasing functionality of mobile phones may provide an opportunity ... -

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 mandates that calorie labels be added ... -
Carbon Monoxide and Exercise Prevents Diet-Induced Obesity and Metabolic Dysregulation Without Affecting Bone.
(Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2020-05)<h4>Objective</h4>Carbon monoxide (CO) may counteract obesity and metabolic dysfunction in rodents consuming high-fat diets, but the skeletal effects are not understood. This study investigated whether low-dose inhaled CO ... -
Carnitine Acetyltransferase and Mitochondrial Acetyl-CoA Buffering in Exercise and Metabolic Disease
(2013)Acetyl-CoA holds a prominent position as the common metabolic intermediate of glucose, amino acid and fatty acid oxidation. Because acetyl-CoA fuels the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the primary source of reducing equivalents ... -
Comparison of a reduced carbohydrate and reduced fat diet for LDL, HDL, and VLDL subclasses during 9-months of weight maintenance subsequent to weight loss.
(Lipids Health Dis, 2010-06-01)OBJECTIVES: This study compared LDL, HDL, and VLDL subclasses in overweight or obese adults consuming either a reduced carbohydrate (RC) or reduced fat (RF) weight maintenance diet for 9 months following significant weight ... -
