Nascimento, H; Catarino, C; Mendonça, D; Oliveira, P; Alves, A; Medeiros, A; Rocha-Pereira, P; Rêgo, C; Mansilha, H; Aires, L.; Mota, J.Growth-curves are an important tool for evaluating the anthropometric development in pediatrics. The different growth-curves available are based in different populations, what leads to different cut-offs. Pediatric obesity tracks into adulthood and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The accurate assessment of a child nutritional status using growth-curves can indicate individuals that are either ...
Body Fat Percentage Is a Major Determinant of Total Bilirubin Independently of ...
Belo, L; Nascimento, H; Kohlova, M; Bronze-da-Rocha, E; Fernandes, J; Costa, E; Catarino, C; Aires, L; Mansilha, HF; Rocha-Pereira, P; Quintanilha, AOBJECTIVES: Bilirubin has potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The UGT1A1*28 polymorphism (TA repeats in the promoter region) is a major determinant of bilirubin levels and recent evidence suggests that raised adiposity may also be a contributing factor. We aimed to study the interaction between UGT1A1 polymorphism, hematological and anthropometric variables with total bilirubin levels in you...
