Male Wistar rats (21±1 days old) (n=34) were assigned at weaning to one of three diet groups for 8 weeks: those fed a control diet (C; n=10), a sunflower oil (SFO; n=12) diet or a SFO diet which was repeatedly heated (SFOx; n=12); both mixed with a commercial rat chow at weight ratio of 13% (w/w). Zoometrics, food intake, serum fatty acids composition and lipid profile, total skeleton bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and femur biomechanical competence were assessed. Animals fed SFOx diet had altered body growth and showed both increased serum total cholesterol (T-chol) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-chol). SFOx rats also showed marked differences in BMC, their femur and tibiae had the lowest structural and geometrical properties, but material properties were uncha...

The health of these patients' mouths may have significant effects on their overall health and evolution of their disease. Here we address periodontal disease (PD) and dental caries (DC), since these are two of the most common chronic diseases affecting OB and DM patients. OB plays a plausible role in the development of PD. Both overall OB and central adiposity are associated with increased hazards of gingivitis and its progression to PD. The inflammatory changes of PD might not be limited to the oral cavity, these may also trigger systemic consequences. Patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1DM, T2DM) present an increased prevalence of gingivitis and PD. In diabetics PD develops at a younger age than in the healthy population, it also worsens with the prolongation of DM. The progression to PD has been correlated with the metabolic control of the disease as it...

Diseño descriptivo, observacional, prospectivo, transversal, de correlación y de comparación a muestras independientes. Se consideró dislipidemia cuando: colesterol total (CT)≥200 mg/dl o HDL-C≤40 mg/dl o TG≥110 mg/dl o LDL-C≥130 mg/dl. Como FR de dislipidemia se evaluó la circunferencia de cintura (CC)≥P90 (percentilo 90) según Freedman y col., bajo peso al...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether CI and arterial stiffness (AS) occur in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients with SPD. A crosssectional case-control study included hospitalized patients with CVD. Demographic characteristics, CVD and atherogenic risk factors were recorded. SPD was diagnosed by clinical and radiographic dental examinations. Dental clinical attachment level (CAL) and CAL % were recorded. A Mini-Mental State Examination test (MMSE) assessed cognition, a MMSE score of < 27 was set as the cut-off point of CI; a score ≥ 27 was considered as no CI. Patients were categorized into: MMSE< 27 in the three models. The risk of having MMSE < 27 increased an average of 2.404-fold for each 1-unit increase in PWV. SPD and AS had significant and independent associations on the risk for development CI. M...
