- 9From: Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: The current paper reviews the important issues and challenges facing children and adolescents with the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Studies suggest that the MetS and its risk components may be on the rise in...
- 10From: Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: Lifestyle modification has been widely acknowledged as the primary treatment for the metabolic syndrome (MetS). We examined the short-term effects of a non-dieting lifestyle intervention program, within the...
- 11From: Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. (Vol. 32, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAbstract: The concept of a metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of pre-clinical metabolic alterations commonly associated with obesity, is the object of much debate. Genetic studies have the potential to contribute to...
