Book excerpt: Interest in the relationships between body structure and function in physical activity has persisted for centuries. Body Composition: Health and Performance in Exercise and Sport advances understanding beyond simple descriptions of body physique and composition of athletes and fills gaps in our understanding of the important role of muscle, fat, and bone in facilitating physical performance and health in sports and physically demanding occupations. lt addresses basic, practical, and applied topics in body composition, performance, and health with comprehensive reviews organized in four logical parts: Body Composition Assessment; Physical Activity and Body Composition; Body Composition in Sports and Occupations; and Moderating Factors. This book integrates state-of-the-art knowledge by international experts in the field and produces an evidence-based practical guide for a balanced understanding of the role and use of body composition assessment in physical performance and health for youth and adults. It also provides a needed link between the practice of body composition assessment and its application by members of public health advisory committees that develop national guidelines for diet, physical activity, and health. This book is suitable for students and professionals in sports nutrition, exercise science, kinesiology, and athletic training. Sport administrators and policy-makers for international and national sport federations and organizations, and national intercollegiate and scholastic federations, would also benefit from this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in a revised and expanded second edition, this unique text presents topics related to insulin resistance in youth and its consequences across the lifespan. In the first section of the book examining epidemiology, the contributors review controversies over the definition of insulin resistance in children and what is known about how insulin resistance in youth differs from adults, the measurement of insulin resistance in youth in the research and clinical settings, and current knowledge regarding the epidemiology of insulin resistance in the pediatric population. The second section of the book explores pathophysiology, including current knowledge of the molecular, metabolic, and physiologic mechanisms of insulin resistance, the unique pathophysiology of pregnancy and puberty, the contributions of the prenatal and early childhood environment to the development of insulin resistance, and adipose and biochemical mediators. This section concludes with discussion of the relationship between insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease and liver disorders. A third section, new to this second edition, explores insulin resistance in unique models: intrauterine growth restriction and girls with polycystic ovary syndrome and metabolic syndrome. The final section of the book explores the concepts of treatment through medications directed at insulin sensitivity, as well as exercise, weight loss medications and consequences of bariatric surgery. Insulin Resistance: Childhood Precursors of Adult Disease, Second Edition provides up-to-date reviews of all of these areas, providing the reader with a current perspective on issues in insulin resistance in youth, an emerging risk factor for disease across the lifespan, that will spur continued interest in the topic on the part of clinicians and researchers, perhaps promoting new points of view and creative approaches to this daunting challenge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Ectopic lipid deposition in the liver may be an important factor in adverse metabolic health and development of T2D. Although obesity is a major risk factor for ectopic lipid deposition, not all overweight or obese individuals have ectopic fat. Aim: To determine whether there is a risk phenotype that is associated with ectopic fat deposition in the liver, in normal weight and overweight Caucasian women who were enrolled in a clinical study conducted as part of the Peak Nutrition for Metabolic Health (PANaMAH) National Science Challenge program in New Zealand. Methods: A total of 94 Caucasian women completed: anthropometric measurements including body weight, height, waist circumference, and hip circumference; information on alcohol consumption; blood pressure recordings; blood sample collection; and (n=93) dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) body composition assessment. A sub-cohort of women (n=34) underwent liver magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) scans to determine liver fat percentage and (n=32) completed physical fitness testing by the YMCA Cycle Ergometer test, to estimate VO2max. Results: In women who completed a MRS scan, liver fat was strongly correlated with higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p 0.0001) and serum triglycerides (p= 0.0034). Older age (p= 0.0152), higher visceral fat percentage (p= 0.0184), and higher abdominal fat percentage (p= 0.0491) were also strongly associated with liver fat percentage. Women with greater liver fat (5.56%) were older (55.8 years, p= 0.0298) bigger (BMI 31.2 kg/m2, p= 0.0003), more dysglycaecmic (HbA1c 35.7 mmol/mol, p= 0.0483; FPG 5.5 mmol/L, p= 0.0065), and had higher waist circumference (101.2 cm, p= 0.0009), blood pressure (SBP 132.6 mmHg, p= 0.008; diastolic blood pressure 67.8 mmHg, p= 0.0095), ALP (117.9 U/L, p= 0.0016), serum triglycerides (1.3 mmol/L, p= 0.0153), and body fat stores (total body fat 46.5%, p= 0.001; abdominal fat 53.7% of abdominal tissue; p= 0.0008; visceral fat 39.4% of abdominal fat, p= 0.0001), compared to women with low liver fat (5.56%). Conclusion: The risk phenotype associated with ectopic lipid deposition in the liver in normal weight and overweight Caucasian women includes: higher systolic blood pressure, serum triglycerides, older age, visceral fat percentage, and abdominal fat percentage. BMI, HbA1c, FPG, waist circumference and ALP were also significantly higher in women with greater liver fat (5.56%),therefore are also important in the risk phenotype. While cardiorespiratory fitness was not directly associated with liver fat, the strong association of high cardiorespiratory fitness with other risk factors of adverse metabolic risk, emphasise it may play a role in the risk phenotype for ectopic lipid deposition in the liver.

This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to aid the selection of the most appropriate methods for use in early phase (1 and 2) clinical studies of new drugs for diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and related cardiometabolic disorders. Clinical research methods to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of new diabetes drugs, e.g. the euglycemic clamp technique, have become well-established in proof-of-mechanism studies. However, selection of the most appropriate techniques is by no means straightforward. Moreover, the application of such methods must conform to the regulatory requirements for new drugs. This book discusses the need for new pharmacotherapies for diabetes, obesity and NAFLD and the molecular targets of drugs currently in development. Emerging technologies including functional imaging, circulating biomarkers and omics are considered together with practical and ethical issues pertaining to early phase clinical trials in subjects with cardiometabolic disorders. Translational Research Methods in Diabetes, Obesity, and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease is of interest to biomedical scientists, pharmacologists, academics involved in metabolic research and clinicians practicing in these specialties.
