Cardiovascular complications involving both microvascular and macrovascular tissues are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in obese patients. Clinical and epidemiological studies suggest that erectile dysfunction ...

The college-age population is not sufficiently physically active and physical activity declines markedly during the college years. Interventions in university and college settings are potential avenues for increasing ...

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific marker of systemic inflammation that has been associated with heart disease, obesity, and metabolic disorders in adults and children. Previous physical activity interventions have ...

Interactions between and within organ systems such as skeletal muscle (SkM) and adipose tissue (AT), via immune cell signaling factors (cytokines), may regulate the development of obesity. The increased expression and ...

Purpose: Previous studies examining the relationship between depression and physical activity have been epidemiological in nature and have measured physical activity subjectively. The purpose of the present study is to ...

Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is regulated through changes in cardiac output (Q) and total peripheral resistance (TPR), where Q = heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV). Healthy heart rhythms have inherent variability and a ...

Obese individuals exhibit skeletal muscle metabolic inflexibility by failing to increase fat oxidation and genes linked with mitochondrial biogenesis in response to a high-fat diet (HFD) and lipid incubation in cell culture. ...

Background: Sedentary behavior is a health risk factor independent of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Sedentary behavior takes place frequently in libraries. Few sedentary behavior interventions ...
