A Multi-Component Day-Camp Weight-Loss Program Is Effective in Reducing BMI in Children after One Year: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-30)The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a one-year multi-component immersive day-camp weight-loss intervention for children with overweight and obesity. The study design was a parallel-group ... -
Branched-chain amino acid metabolism, insulin sensitivity and liver fat response to exercise training in sedentary dysglycaemic and normoglycaemic men
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aims/hypothesis: Obesity and insulin resistance may be associated with elevated plasma concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and impaired BCAA metabolism. However, it is unknown whether the insulin-sensitising ... -
Cystatin B, cathepsin L and D related to surrogate markers for cardiovascular disease in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Objective: This study investigated potential associations between novel biomarkers for cardiovascular disease and other surrogate markers for health. Methods: Community sample of 170 (92 boys and 78 girls) children aged ... -
Effect of energy restriction and physical exercise intervention on phenotypic flexibility as examined by transcriptomics analyses of mRNA from adipose tissue and whole body magnetic resonance imaging
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-07)Overweight and obesity lead to changes in adipose tissue such as inflammation and reduced insulin sensitivity. The aim of this study was to assess how altered energy balance by reduced food intake or enhanced physical ... -
Greater Reduction in Abdominal Than in Upper Arms Subcutaneous Fat in 10- to 12-Year-Old Tennis Players: A Volumetric MRI Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Little is known about the impact of long term participation in sports and subcutaneous fat volume in children. This study aimed at determining whether tennis participation is associated with lower subcutaneous ... -
Increased Plin2 expression in human skeletal muscle is associated with sarcopenia and muscle weakness
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-15)Human aging is associated with a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength and a concomitant fat accumulation in form of inter-muscular adipose tissue, causing skeletal muscle function decline and immobilization. Fat ... -
Interaction between plasma fetuin‐A and free fatty acids predicts changes in insulin sensitivity in response to long‐term exercise
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-03)The hepatokine fetuin‐A can together with free fatty acids (FFAs) enhance adipose tissue (AT) inflammation and insulin resistance via toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4). Although some of the health benefits of exercise can be ... -
Objectively Measured Time Spent Sedentary Is Associated With Insulin Resistance Independent of Overall and Central Body Fat in 9- to 10-Year-Old Portuguese Children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-12-10)OBJECTIVE—We examined the independent relationships between objectively measured physical activity and insulin resistance in Portuguese children. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—This is a school-based, cross-sectional study ... -
Regulation of angiopoietin-like protein 4 Production during and after exercise
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-19)Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) may regulate lipoprotein lipase-dependent plasma clearance of triacylglycerol from skeletal muscle during exercise. The aim of this study was to examine the importance of muscle in ...
