Highlight:Aerobic exercise was reduced body fat and increased free fatty acids.LICT and MICT decreased body fat and increased free fatty acids. Abstract:Overweight is fat imbalances can affect the health. It is one of the problems in many countries, especially Indonesia recorded an increase case in 2007 (8.8%) to 2013 (13.5%). Overweight categorized by 25-30 kg/m2 body mass index in units (Organization 2018). Figures overweight can be pressed to provide some treatments, such as aerobics sports activities. This study aimed to determine the effect of Continuous Low Intensity Training (LICT) and Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) to decrease body fat content (FM) and increase in free fatty acids (FFA) in overweight women. 18 female subjects completed the study 4X/week exercise LICT or MICT for 5 weeks. LICT and MICT performed for 30 minutes with an additional 5 minutes warm-up and 5 minutes of cooling down with LICT intensity of 60%-70% and MICT 70%-80% of maximum HR where both types of exercise using ergo cycle while measurement FM and FFA were measured before and after practice. LICT occurred decreasing in body fat and increasing in free fatty acids that significant pre and post LICT (p < 0.05). MICT occurred decreasing in body fat and increasing in free fatty acids that significant pre and post MICT (p<0.05). In the second comparison group (LICT and MICT) were decline against body fat and an increased in free fatty acids between workouts Low-Intensity Continuous Training (LICT) greater tendency than Moderate-Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) with delta FM (p = 0.120) and delta FFA (p=0.131) in which the value is >0.05. LICT and MICT was increase while body fat was decreased. The results of a comparison test occur list downward trend in body fat while in free fatty acids was increased.
Cases of overweight and obesity in the world increased continuously. In 2016, obesity increased by 3% in men and 6% in women compared to 1975. Overweight cases also increased by 20% in men and 23% in women compared to 1975. Overweight and obesity have been linked to an increase in adipose tissue in the body. Increased adipose tissue associated with inflammation, which one of its characteristics is an increase levels of C - Reactive Protein (CRP). This article aim is to describe the mechanism of physical exercise to diminish CRP level in overweight and obesity. Adipose tissue produces and releases various pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1 and CRP. One of the prevention and treatment of inflammatory for overweight and obesity cases is to do physical exercise. In cases of overweight and obesity, the physical exercise aims to increase energy expenditure. Physical exercise decreases the volume and amount of adipose and pre-adipose tissue as well as the number of endothelial cells and macrophages in adipose that contain pro-inflammation such as IL-1, TNF-α, CRP, serum amyloid protein (SAA), and cytokines. Physical exercise rises anti-inflammatory properties such as IL-10, IL-1ra which play a role in inhibiting the transduction of IL-1β signals and inhibiting TNF-α synthesis. Physical exercise also amplifies antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and GPX. The antioxidants play a role in fighting free radicals to reduce inflammation.
Preeclampsia is the worldwide leading cause of fetomaternal morbidity and mortality which involves the placental dysfunction. A poor placentation and formed of non-dilated spiral artery caused utero-placental circulation insufficiency, resulted in inadequate supply of nutrients and oxygen to support normal aerobic growth of the fetus. Apium graveolens or celery has been widely known as antioxidant, antiinflammation and antihypertensive with flavonoid-apigenin as main active compound. Apigenin can inhibit TNF-α, HIF-1α and nitric oxide blocking as major pathophysiological pathway of preeclampsia. This study was aimed to find how the Apium graveolens can improve intrauterine growth and its correlation with suppression of anti-angiogenic factor sFlt-1 in anti-Qa2 preeclampsia animal model. Twenty female BALB/c Mus musculus were divided into 4 groups: control, anti-Qa2 and anti-Qa2 with 500 and 1000 mg/kgBW celery herbs extract. The fetal weights and lengths, placental weights and serum sFlt-1 levels were measured and analyzed with One Way ANOVA and further tested with Least Significance Difference in 95% confidence interval. The result showed a difference between control and treatments group (p≤0.05) with 1000 mg/kgBW significantly increase intrauterine growth and decrease sFlt-1, then there is a negative correlation between intrauterine weight and serum sFlt-1. This study suggests that celery herbs extract (CHE) has an apigenin-flavonoid compound which can prevent intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) via suppression of antiangiogenic factor production in preeclampsia mice model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
