Physical activity, diet, and incident diabetes in relation to an ADRA2B polymorphism

Article Abstract:

The interactions of the leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), dietary changes, and weight loss components of the intervention with the 12Glu9 polymorphism of the ADRA2B gene in the development of type 2 diabetes were evaluated. Results revealed that increased LTPA decreased the risk of type 2 diabetes more in those with the 12Glu allele of the ADRA2B gene, whereas dietary changes might have mediated the greater risk reduction of the lifestyle intervention in 9Glu homozygotes.

Growth, dietary intake, and trace element status in pubescent athletes and schoolchildren

Article Abstract:

Food intake, trace element status, and growth have been studied in schoolchildren and pubescent athletes. Club-level sports training in puberty does not seem to affect maturation or nutritional status or growth.
