A recent study led by a team of international researchers revealed that the dangerous combination of weak muscles and abdominal fat can lead to a significant loss of gait speed in older people. Older people with abdominal fat, weak muscles have a risk of developing mobility problems, according to a recent study led by a team of international researchers. The findings of the study published in the journal ‘Age and Ageing’, was conducted by researchers at the Federal University of [...]

Sao Paulo [Brazil], September 1 (ANI): A new study has found that the dangerous combination of weak muscles and abdominal fat can lead to a significant loss of gait speed in older people. The findings of the study were published in the journal 'Age and Ageing'. The study was conducted by researchers at the Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar) in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, in partnership with colleagues at University College London (UCL) in the UK. A slower gait is a natural [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], August 25 (ANI): Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can increase the benefits of aerobic exercise and improve the gait of patients with Parkinson's disease immediately after a session. Step time variability decreases, reaction time shortens, and executive control of gait is enhanced. These were the main findings of a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled crossover study of 20 volunteers by researchers at Sao Paulo State University's Institute of [...]

Washington [US], July 23 (ANI): Remotely supervised workout sessions were found to be more effective than face-to-face exercise classes during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggested a new study. The findings of the study appeared in the journal 'Psychiatry Research'. Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo (USP) in Brazil investigated the effects of regular exercise on the physical and mental health of 344 volunteers during the pandemic. The study compared the effectiveness of three [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], May 26 (ANI): A research group at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP) has analyzed how Candida albicans fungi and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (/topic/bacteria) influence gene expression and tumour cell survival. An in vitro study conducted by researchers at UNESP in Araraquara, Brazil, shows how fungi and bacteria (/topic/bacteria) can activate genes (/topic/genes) associated with head and neck tumours, as the metabolism of biofilms (communities in which these [...]

Washington [US], May 13 (ANI): A new study has found that girls are more likely than boys to develop metabolic alterations associated with obesity, such as high blood pressure and excessive blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides (dyslipidemia). The study was conducted in Brazil on 92 adolescents. The findings of the study were published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition. The study was conducted with FAPESP's support by scientists affiliated with the University of Sao [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], May 8 (ANI): Brazilian research ers show that the inclusion of soybean and linseed oils in the diet of dairy cow s made the fatty acid content of their milk even health ier for human nutrition. It also increased the proportions of omega-6 and omega-3, which in the right balance play a key role in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the world's main public health problems. In Brazil, they are among the foremost causes of death. Each year [...]

Brasilia [Brazil], May 6 (ANI): A study led by researchers affiliated with the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) describe the impact of hypo protein emia (low level of protein in the blood) on the expression of microRNAs associated with kidney development in rat embryos. Besides being underweight, babies born to women whose diet lacked sufficient protein during pregnancy tend to have kidney problems resulting from alterations that occurred while their organs were forming during the embryonic [...]

A study conducted by an international team of researchers with FAPESP's support shows that infection by chikungunya virus can produce even more severe manifestations than the typical symptoms of the disease, such as acute fever, headache, rash, and intense joint and muscle pain. The analysis was performed by 38 researchers affiliated with the Federal University of Ceara (UFC), the University of Sao Paulo (USP), and the Ministry of Health in Brazil, and with Imperial College London and [...]
