“…Blood samples were collected for serum separation, for the determination of the activity of hepatic transaminases AST and ALT, glucose, triglyceride and total-cholesterol concentrations by spectrophotometry using commercial kits (Laborlab ® ) [23]. The liver was also excised for the determination of the total lipid concentration [23]. …”

BackgroundThis study aimed to analyze the effects of exercise at the aerobic/anaerobic transition on the markers of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin sensitivity and the blood chemistry of rats kept on a fructose-rich diet.MethodsWe separated 48 Wistar rats into two groups according to diet: a control group (balanced diet AIN-93 G) and a fructose-rich diet group (60% fructose). The animals were tested for maximal lactate-steady state (MLSS) in order to identify the aerobic/anaerobic metabolic transition during swimming exercises at 28 and 90 days of age. One third of the animals of each group were submitted to swimming training at an intensity equivalent to the individual MLSS for 1 hours/day, 5 days/week from 28 to 120 days (early protocol). Another third were submitted to the training from 90 to 120 days (late protocol), and the others remained sedentary. The main assays performed included an insulin tolerance test (ITT) and tests of serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST] activities, serum triglyceride concentrations [TG] and liver total lipid concentrations.ResultsThe fructose-fed rats showed decreased insulin sensitivity, and the late-exercise training protocol counteracted this alteration. There was no difference between the groups in levels of serum ALT, whereas AST and liver lipids increased in the fructose-fed sedentary group when compared with the other groups. Serum triglycerides concentrations were higher in the fructose-fed trained groups when compared with the corresponding control group.ConclusionsThe late-training protocol was effective in restoring insulin sensitivity to acceptable standards. Considering the markers here evaluated, both training protocols were successful in preventing the emergence of non-alcoholic fatty liver status disease.

Transverse testicular ectopia, an anomaly due to deviation in the testicular descent resulting in unilateral location of both testes as both the testis descends through single inguinal canal. Patient usually presents with inguinal hernia on one side and cryptorchidism on other side during early childhood. A case of one year old boy clinically presenting as right inguinal hernia with left sided cryptorchidism at tertiary level referral center is reported. Surgeon's role is pivotal as preoperative diagnosis and postoperative follow-up for malignancies in these cases are very crucial.
