Cardiorespiratory fitness level is inversely related to the incidence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). This study examined the effects of changes in cardiorespiratory fitness level on MetS status.Male and female participants in a health enhancement prog

— The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of altered calcium homeostasis in the development of irreversible membrane damage in the UVB-irradiated ocular lens. In particular, experiments were designed to determine whether restricting calc

In view of renewed interest in the lens epithelium as the initiation site for cataract development, it seemed timely to review recent studies which appear to establish UV damage in the lens epithelium as the cause of UV cataract. While UV photons can

Cultured rabbit lenses and cultured rabbit lens epithelial cells were irradiated with UV to correlate morphological changes in the epithelium with physiological changes in the whole lens during the development of UV-induced cataract. Two UV spectral

The present study focuses on three aspects of membrane damage to explain selenite-induced loss of ion homeostasis: membrane transport processes, i.e. cation pump; biosynthesis of membrane proteins and membrane permeability. Cation pump activity, asse

Cultured rabbit lenses were irradiated with UV (311 nm peak; 295-340 nm) for 30 to 60 min. The entire spectrum lies in the near-UV, the major component is UVB, with a minor portion (25%) of UVA, and is henceforth referred to as near-UV(B). Posterior

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a constellation of three or more clinical health abnormalities from a list of five and, therefore, can vary significantly in its profile. Successful intervention strategies for preventing or resolving individuals' MetS ma

Both in vivo and in vitro models were employed in the present study to assess the relative contribution of osmotic stress and increasing calcium levels to the development of sugar cataracts. In galactose cataract obtained from galactosemic weanling r

The purpose of this study was to investigate three possible causes of membrane damage following UV irradiation: photooxidation of membrane thiol (SH) groups, peroxidation of membrane lipids and inhibited synthesis of membrane proteins. Thiol loss was

There are two approaches to the question of whether solar radiation contributes to human cataract. The first, epidemiological studies, investigates correlations between man's environmental UV dose and cataract frequency. The second, animal models, in
