Our results suggest that regular resistance training initiated at the onset of diabetes can improve glucose tolerance and GLUT4 expression without changing muscle morphology in Zucker rats.

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) shares common risk factors with cardiovascular diseases. Effects of longitudinal trends in non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol on NAFLD development are not understood. This study aimed to assess the relationship between non-HDL cholesterol trajectories and the incidence of NAFLD and to identify genetic differences contributing to NAFLD development between non-HDL cholesterol trajectory groups. METHODS: We analyzed data from 220

OBJECTIVES: Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a noninvasive technique that provides reasonably accurate measurements of cardiac output, but the usefulness of ICG in patients undergoing open abdominal surgery has not been validated. METHODS: Cardiac output was measured while patients underwent open gastrectomy using an ICG monitor (niccomo™; ICG-CO); the results were compared with those measured using a FloTrac™/Vigileo™ monitor (Flo-CO), which measures cardiac output by analysing the arterial wave

Domestic digital signage industry has been growing in line with the Internet and intelligent devices like smart phones. However, policies for digital signage need to be supplemented because existing policies are only focused on regulations for outdoor advertisements. Moreover, while digital technologies have been developed, there are few contents technologies to support the digital technologies. In this context, this research aims to identify the problems in relation to the domestic digital sign

The purpose of this study was to regular physical activity on cardio-respirtory fitness and serum BDNF in adolescence. Subjects were regular physical activity group(age 12.80±1.86, n=15), control group(age 12.60±1.81, n=15). We tested maximal oxygen uptake using graded exercise test to investigate a correlation on body fat, BDNF and cardio-respirtory fitness. Results, there was statistically significant difference on body fat, BDNF and cardio-respirtory fitness between regular physical activity

연구배경: 연령증가에 따른 당불내성은 계속적으로 당뇨병 유병률을 증가시키지만, 그 기전은 확실히 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 연령증가에 따른 인슐린 분비능과 감수성을 평가하고, 비만이 당대사에 영향을 주는 요인들을 알아보고자 하였다.방법: 당뇨병 병력이 없는 530명의 한국인 성인 (남자 273명, 여자 257명, 24~75세)을 대상으로 경구 당부하검사를 시행 후 인슐린 분비능과 감수성의 지표로 insulinogenic index와 HOMA-IR를 계산하였다. 체질량지수 25이상인 비만군 (n = 212)은 체지방 분포를 알아보기 위해 컴퓨터 촬영을 시행하였다.결과: 연령 증가에 따라 공복혈당과 당부하 2시간 후 혈당이 증가하였고, insulinogenic index는 음의 상관관계를 보였지만 HOMA-IR은 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 체질량지수에 따라 insulinogenic index와 HOMA-IR은 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 체지방 변화 중 insulinogeni

To investigate the epidemiologic relatedness of Brucella abortus isolates from Chinese water deer (Hydropotes inermis) and goral (Naemorhedus goral raddeanus) in 2010-2011, 22l isolates from livestock (including domestic elk, Cervus canadensis) were analyzed using the multilocus variable-number tandem repeats analysis. In the clustering analysis, Korean B. abortus isolates were divided into 40 genotypes by 18 markers, and 2 B. abortus isolates from wildlife were clustered with those of domestic

Since 2011, South Korea has implemented biannual vaccinations against foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) and recently, lumpy skin disease (LSD), to mitigate the spread of transboundary animal diseases. However, due to past adverse reactions, potentially linked to acute phase responses from FMD vaccinations, there is hesitancy among Korean livestock farmers regarding new strategies for simultaneous vaccinations against both FMD and LSD. This study was conducted to assess possible adverse reactions to t

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical features and outcomes of ulcerative colitis (UC) according to the age of onset in Korea. Methods: A total of 1,141 patients who were diagnosed with UC between July 1987 and November 2013 at 11 tertiary hospitals were enrolled. The baseline disease characteristic and disease state at onset, treatment during the disease course were retrospectively reviewed among patients with young-onset (YO, < 20 years) and adult-onset (AO, ≥ 20 y
