Effect of Intermittent Sitting time on Acute Postprandial Lipemia in Children
Conclusion When sitting was interrupted by short bouts of moderate intensity exercise there was a reduction in triglyceride concentrations in eight out of 12 participants. Possible reasons to account for the difference in response may include sexual maturation, gender differences, genetic conditions, or the rate of digestion and intestinal absorption.

Relationship of treatment satisfaction to health-related quality of life among Palestinian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Findings from a cross-sectional study
Conclusions Overall, these results indicate that elderly patients, being unemployed, and those with comorbid diseases, are independent risk factors for poor HRQoL. Furthermore, it emerges that HRQoL and treatment satisfaction are both probably influenced by socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. In fact, to improve diabetic patients' quality of life, elderly patients were recommended to receive more attention in their health and economic status.

Normal menstrual cycle steroid hormones variation does not affect the blood levels of total adiponectin and its multimer forms
The objective of the study was to assess if total adiponectin and its isoforms are affected by the changes of estradiol and progesterone during the normal menstrual cycle and the association of total adiponectin and its isoforms with the gonadal steroid levels. Materials/Methods Quantitative determination of plasma adiponectin and its multimers was conducted in the three phases of an ovulatory cycle in 13 premenopausal women, in the follicular phase of 10 more premenopausal women, in 20 postmenopausal women and in 21 men. Moreover, serum levels of FSH, LH, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone, sex hormone...

Relationship between high normal TSH levels and metabolic syndrome components in type 2 diabetic subjects with euthyroidism
Conclusion In type 2 diabetic subjects with biochemical euthyroidism we found significant association between high normal TSH levels and components of metabolic syndrome. High normal TSH levels were associated with more number of subjects with glycemic goal (HbA1c >7%). (Source: Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology)

Circulating levels of fibroblast growth factor-21 increase with age independently of body composition indices among healthy individuals
Conclusions Our findings in a healthy population display an age-related increase in serum FGF21, highlighting a potential age effect in response to metabolic demand over the lifecourse. FGF21 levels increase with age independently of body composition. At lower levels of FGF21, BMD, but not other body composition parameters, attenuates the association between FGF21 level and age, suggesting the metabolic demand of the skeleton may provide a link between FGF21 and energy metabolism.

Role of HbA1c in post-partum screening of women with gestational diabetes mellitus
Conclusion Proposed thresholds of HbA1c had low diagnostic sensitivity. Combined with a fasting glucose test, the performance was no better than with using a fasting glucose test alone. Combining a fasting glucose test with a lower HbA1c cut-point may be an alternative approach for selection of women for an OGTT. (Source: Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology)
