“…The autonomic nervous system is involved in the control of eating behavior through influences exerted on the production and loss of heat [1,61]. Thus, the control of body temperature is strictly associated with the control of body weight; this is in accord with the "thermoregulatory hypothesis" of food intake [62].…”

This review of our literature describes the effects of many neuroleptic drugs on the sympathetic and hyperthermic reactions due to orexin A, a neuropeptide affecting body temperature and food intake by an increase in sympathetic activity. Haloperidol reduces, while clozapine and olanzapine block the hyperthermia induced by orexin A. Risperidone enhances the elevation of body temperature due to orexin A. Quetiapine delays these hyperthermic effects. The implications on human therapeutic strategies are discussed, including the involvement of orexinergic pathway in the induction of obesity, induced by these neuroleptic substances. We summarize our published data in a unique report so to emphasize the influences of these neuroleptic drugs on the control of body temperature, exerted by orexinergic system. This large vision could be also useful to address therapeutic choices.Patients with serious mental illness are at higher risk of developing metabolic abnormalities (e.g., weight gain, increased blood pressure, and glucose or lipid levels) in comparison to general population. Since the risk increases following initiation of narcoleptic therapy, it must assess carefully risks and benefits when choosing a particular antipsychotic drug.

“…This target value of five portions should consider the age of the child, that is, the appropriate amount of fruits and vegetables depends on the energy needs, where for example, a young child should eat more than 200 g per day [31]. The fact that 44% of children who are overweight, and 63% of those who are obese are perceived as normal by their parents shows that the root of the failure was insufficient awareness of the problem within the family, resulting in insufficient collaboration in the program to re-educate their children toward a healthier lifestyle [26,[32][33][34][35]. We therefore stress that activating direct intervention plans with families is a basic condition to reduce the high incidence of obesity and related diseases.…”

“…Indeed, the Greek wrestlers and the Roman gladiators attempted to improve their own performance by taking mixtures of various types of plants or by eating sheep's testicles [5,6]. Moreover, it is a complex phenomenon analysing the vast variety of substances, supplied through both legal and illegal trading routes and the extensive connections between the people involved in the network [7][8][9].…”

Aim: Doping affects the sport. Its explosive spread has triggered the response of sports' and government's institutions. The aims of this study were to know the spread of doping in Italy, what were the most used substances and/or method and in which sports it was more common. Moreover, what instruments were used to contrast it. Methods:We have analysed the doping's spread in Italy since 2003. The data come from the databases of government and sports Italians institutions. We have compared those data and focused our attention on substances and/or methods discovered in athletes. Furthermore, data's combination showed the reason of drug addiction. Results:In Italy, only 3% of checked athletes are doped, many of them are men and young athletes dope less than the older ones. Doped athletes play mainly cycling, athletics, swimming and football. The prominent peak of them is in the Central and Southern Italy in 2008 and 2010. Moreover, the analysis of data relating to galenic preparations declared during the year 2012, shows that 75% of the prescribed substances are diuretics and masking agents, anabolic steroids and stimulant. Regarding the substances, cannabinoids and stimulants have recorded the highest consumption. Conclusion:The data show only the tip of the iceberg due to doping's secrecy. Every substance that give pleasant sensations or help the subject in his activity will bring him to repeat the consumption. Frequently, new substances and methods are discovered. For this reason, to contrast this phenomenon, there are legislation instruments together with various funded projects.
