ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evalute the effects of supplementation of coconut oil associated with a physical exercise program on body composition and lipid profile in normolipid eutrophic women. The sample was composed of 20 women randomized divided into two groups, supplemented exercise group with 13 mL/day of coconut oil (GES, n= 10) and unsuppemented exercie group with coconut oil (GEU), n= 10). Perimeters measurements of central adiposity, fat (%), fat mass, lean mass, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) and triglycerides concentrations were evaluated in the beginning and in the final of 12 weeks of intervention. For intragroup and intergroup comparisons was used dependentes and independentes sample t-test. The results showed that 12 weeks of intervention modified the central adiposity in the GES group, decreased 2,6% the waist cincunference compared to GEU group (p<0.05). The fat (%), fat mass and lean mass did not change after 12 weeks of intervention between GES and GEU groups (p>0.05). In the comparation of lipid profile between groups, GES group decreased 3% the LDL-c while the GEU group increased 13.7% the total cholesterol and 14.2% the LDL-c concentration (p<0.05). In conclusion, coconut oil associated with a physical exercise program did not modify the body composition and attenuate the changes in the lipid profile in normolipid eutrophic women.


RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da suplementação de óleo de coco associado com um programa de exercícios físicos sobre a composição corporal e perfil lipídico em mulheres eutróficas normolipidicas. A amostra foi composta de 20 mulheres divididas aleatoriamente em 2 grupos, grupo exercício suplementado com 13 mL/dia de óleo de coco (GCO; n=10) e grupo exercício não suplementado com óleo de coco (GSO; n=10). Foram avaliados medidas perimétricas de adiposidade central, gordura (%), massa gorda, massa magra, níveis séricos de colesterol total, LDL-c, HDL-c e triglicérides no início e no final de 12 semanas de intervenção. Para as comparações intragrupos e entre os grupos foi utilizado o teste T para amostras dependentes e independentes. Os resultados mostraram que 12 semanas de intervenção modificou a adiposidade central no grupo GCO, diminuindo 2,6% a circunferência da cintura comparado ao grupo GSO (p<0,05). A gordura (%), massa gorda e massa magra não se modificaram após 12 semanas de intervenção nos grupos GCO e GSO (p<0,05). Na comparação do perfil lipídico entre os grupos, o grupo GCO diminui 3% o LDL-c enquanto que o grupo GSO aumentou 13,7% o colesterol total e 14,2% o LDL-c (p<0,05). Em conclusão, o óleo de coco associado com um programa de exercício físico aeróbico não modifica a composição corporal e atenua as alterações no perfil lipídico em mulheres eutróficas normolipidicas.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Low grade inflammation is a well-known characteristic in obese subjects. We investigated body weight changes and inflammatory markers after 12-week intervention trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six obese subjects were enrolled and 19 (13 men and 6 women) completed the study. Sibutramine is an FDA-approved drug for body weight control; therefore, we chose this drug as the standard treatment medication in this study. Patients were randomly allocated to receive an anti-inflammatory agent (Diacerein treatment group; n = 12) or placebo (n = 7) for 12 weeks. Anthropometry, body proportion by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and metabolic parameters at the beginning and end of study were measured and compared. RESULTS: The treatment group had a tendency towards more reduction in anthropometry as compared to the placebo group, in body weight reduction (- 7.0 kg vs. - 4.6 kg), body mass index (- 2.51 kg/m2 vs. - 1.59 kg/m2), and waist circumference (- 7.3 cm vs. - 4.4 cm). These reductions were not statistically significant. Changes in levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and adiponectin in the treatment group were more favorable than in the placebo group. CONCLUSION: This small pilot study showed no statistical difference for changes in anthropometry, and inflammatory markers between the two groups. Therefore, we could not find any additional effects of Diacerein on weight loss and inflammatory variables in this study.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and safety of testosterone replacement in males with late-onset hypogonadism compared to hypogonadal men without replacement, and controls, during six months. METHODS: We assessed, through ADAM, AMS, IIEF-5 and SF-36 questionnaires, and through clinical and laboratorial examinations, 62 patients divided into three groups: 17 hypogonadal males (HR) used intramuscular testosterone every three weeks; 14 hypogonadal males (HV) and 31 non-hypogonadal males (CV) used oral vitamins daily. RESULTS: When compared to others, HR group obtained libido improvement assessed by ADAM 1 (p = 0.004), and borderline sexual potency improvement assessed by IIEF-5 (p = 0.053), besides a decrease in waist circumference after eight weeks (p = 0.018). The remaining parameters did not differ between the groups. PSA and hematocrit remained stable in those using testosterone. CONCLUSION: Six months of testosterone replacement improved sexuality and body composition, with prostatic and hematological safety.


OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia e a segurança da reposição de testosterona em homens com hipogonadismo tardio comparados a hipogonádicos sem reposição e controles, durante seis meses. MÉTODOS: Mediante os questionários ADAM, AMS, IIEF-5 e SF-36, foram feitos exame clínico e laboratorial em 62 pacientes divididos em três grupos: 17 hipogonádicos (HR) usaram testosterona intramuscular a cada três semanas; 14 hipogonádicos (HV) e 31 não hipogonádicos (CV) usaram vitaminas via oral diariamente. RESULTADOS: Comparado aos demais, o grupo HR obteve melhora da libido avaliada pelo ADAM 1 (p = 0,004) e melhora limítrofe da potência sexual avaliada pelo IIEF-5 (p = 0.053), além de diminuição da cintura a partir da oitava semana (p = 0,018). Os demais parâmetros não foram diferentes entre os grupos. PSA e hematócrito se mantiveram estáveis nos que usaram testosterona. CONCLUSÃO: A reposição de testosterona durante seis meses melhorou a sexualidade e a composição corporal, com segurança prostática e hematológica.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with low serum testosterone levels. Conversely, low testosterone levels induce MS. These operational mechanisms reinforce one another and induce a vicious cycle. This is a report on a morbid obesity 42 year-old man with the MS and serum testosterone of 5.0 nmol/L (N: 12.0-33.0), who was resistant to treatment with diet and exercise. He was treated with testosterone undecanoate for 16 months. METHODS: Anthropological and laboratory variables were measured before and during testosterone administration. Also the Aging Male Symptom Scale (AMS), the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Beck's Depression Inventory were assessed. RESULTS: After 16 months, there was a weight loss of 50 kg and a decrease in waist circumference of 36.5 cm. Blood pressure normalized and laboratory variables returned to the normal range. The patient did not meet the criteria for the MS anymore. There were improvements on the AMS, the IIEF and Beck's Depression Inventory. CONCLUSIONS: Normalizing testosterone in men with morbid obesity in combination with diet and exercise, with the MS and low testosterone levels, may rescue them from the MS, improving their mood and their stamina to follow a diet and to exercise.


OBJETIVO: A síndrome metabólica (SM) está associada a baixos níveis séricos de testosterona. Inversamente, baixos níveis de testosterona induzem a SM. Esses mecanismos operacionais se reforçam mutuamente e levam a um círculo vicioso. Este é o relato de um homem de 42 anos, obesidade mórbida com SM e testosterona sérica de 5,0 nmol/L (N: 12,0-33,5), resistente ao tratamento com dieta e exercícios. Ele foi tratado com undecanoato de testosterona por 16 meses. MÉTODOS: Variáveis antropológicas e laboratoriais foram medidas antes e durante a administração de testosterona. Também foram avaliados a Escala de Envelhecimento Masculino (AMS), o Índice Internacional de Função Erétil (IIEF) e a Escala de Beck para Depressão. RESULTADOS: Após 16 meses, houve uma perda de peso de 50 kg e diminuição de 36,5 cm da circunferência abdominal. A pressão arterial foi normalizada e as variáveis laboratoriais também retornaram para os limites de normalidade. O paciente não preenchia mais os critérios para SM. Houve melhoras da AMS, do IIEF e da Escala de Beck para Depressão. CONCLUSÕES: A normalização da testosterona em homens com obesidade mórbida, combinada à dieta e a exercícios, com SM e baixos níveis de testosterona, pode livrá-los da SM, melhorando o humor e o vigor para seguir uma dieta e exercícios.
