Breast Cancer (Auckl). 2011 Mar 1;5:27-35. Plasma Leptin, hTERT Gene Expression, and Anthropometric Measures in Obese and Non-Obese Women with Breast Cancer. Rahmati-Yamchi M, Zarghami N, Rahbani M, Montazeri A. Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran. Abstract INTRODUCTION: Expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) occurs in most cancers but its relation with obesity is unclear. This study explores the association between leptin levels and anthropometric indices with hTERT mRNA levels in breast cancer patients of different obesity grades.
patients participated. Expression of tissues hTERT mRNA was carried out by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Leptin concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay. RESULTS: Twelve pa ents (18.46%) were hTERT nega ve and 53(81.54%) were positive. hTERT mRNA levels were associated with BMI but not with waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.219, P = 0.22) and waist to hip ra o (WHR) (r = 0.212, P = 0.237). Lep n level and hTERT mRNA levels (r = 0.484, P = 0.008) were correlated as well as BMI and hTERT expression.
and hTERT expression. These findings may clarify the role of leptin in breast carcinogenesis, and hence obesity could be responsible for increased incidences in breast cancer as well as its progression via enhanced production of leptin.

B Soudmand Abstract INTRODUCTION: Improvement of abdominal obesity indices in middle- aged obese women by of exercise training has significant importance. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of rhythmic Endurance training on abdominal obesity indices (waist to hip ratio, waist circumference, waist to high ratio, body fat %) in working women.
clinical trial conducted on, middle-aged women, aged >35 years, with abdominal obesity, regular menstrual cycle, without regular exercising, registered nurses & midwives, medicine, rehabilitation, para clinic, health sciences university and all administrative departments of the Iran university of Medical Sciences. Volunteer par cipants (n=31) were randomly separated into cases (n=17) and controls (n=14). The case group has Endurance training for 8 weeks. At the beginning and the end of the study, in addi on to comple on of ques onnaires, anthropometrical data, VO2 Max determined by tape, calipers and a chronometer. RESULTS: The results obtained showed that Endurance training had no significant effect on waist-to-hip ratio in the cases, but significant positive changes on waist circumference, waist-to-high ratio and body fat percentage were seen. CONCLUSION: Decrease in waist to hip ratio was not significant after Endurance training, probably due to short dura on of exercise (8 weeks) and also may be related to lack of diet control.

Department of Pediatrics, Namazee Hospital, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran. Abstract OBJECTIVES: Resistin is a member of cysteine-rich molecules. Several studies have been carried out to determine the biological effect of resistin, nevertheless a significant number are animal studies. All the studies performed regarding the relationship between serum resistin and obesity were merely accomplished in women. To the best of our knowledge, there is no survey on the correlation of the serum resistin level and obesity in male children. The aim of the present study is to assess serum concentration of resistin in obese male children. METHODS: Between June 2009 and January 2010, we enrolled 42 randomly selected obese male students (body mass index (BMI) >95th percen le, age 15.7 ± 1.5). Thirty-eight healthy age-matched male students with normal BMI (<85th percen le) were selected as a control group for the purpose of comparison of the serum resistin levels.
No significant difference was found between resis n levels of the 2 groups (obese: 9.21 ± 5.6 ng/mL versus normal: 9.83 ± 4.3 ng/mL; P = .582). There was no significant correlation between serum resistin level and BMI. Assessing the resistin level in male subjects was the distinct feature of our study. The outstanding finding of this research is that there is no correlation between serum resistin level and obesity.
obesity in male children and resistin level. Consequently, metabolic abnormalities of insulin resistance seen in obese male patients are not related to resistin. 93

The intervention and control groups were identical in terms of age and sex. Height, weight, mid-arm muscle circumference, waist circumference, and percent body fat measures were performed on the intervention group before and six months after the surgery. The same measurements were also performed on the control group at zero time and six months later. Ultimately, the results were examined and compared.
intervention group showed a significant change after six months, with P values of 0.002 and 0.024 respec vely. There were no significant correlations for other variables. 94
CONCLUSION: Based on the findings of this study, children who had undergone adenotonsillectomy for various indications showed a gradual postoperative increase in their BMI and percent body fat.

Predictors Of Serum Levels Of High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein And Systolic Blood Pressure In Overweight And Obese Nondiabetic Women In Tehran: A Cross-Sectional Study. Neyestani TR, Salekzamani S, Kalayi A, Alavi-Majd H, Houshiarrad A, Nikooyeh B, Shariatzadeh N. National Research Institute and Faculty of Nutrition and Food Technology, Shaheed Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. t.neyestani@nnftri.ac.ir Abstract OBJECTIVE: Extra fat mass is usually accompanied by metabolic as well as clinical derangements, including systemic inflammation and high blood pressure. This study aimed to evaluate the associations among anthropometric indicators, blood levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), lipid profile, blood glucose, insulin resistance, and blood pressure and determine the actual predictors of hsCRP and blood pressure in overweight/obese nondiabetic women in Tehran.
(BMI) of ≥25 kg/m² were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. Dietary intake and anthropometric as well as laboratory evaluations, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), lipid profile, serum insulin, and hsCRP, were performed for all the subjects. Pearson (r) and Spearman (r(s)) correlation coefficients and multivariate linear regression analysis were used to establish a model to predict hsCRP and systolic blood pressure (SBP) variations. RESULTS: Although serum hsCRP directly correlated with levels of FPG, triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol, BMI, and waist circumference (WC), its strongest association was found with percent of body fat mass (FM) (r(s) = 0.326, p < 0.001). Also, SBP directly correlated with FPG, TG, and FM, but it was more strongly correlated with BMI (r = 0.343, p < 0.001) and WC (r(s) = 0.350, p < 0.001). No associa on was found between 95

Childhood obesity is a major public health problem globally because of changes in lifestyles. We assessed the prevalence of overweight/obesity and associated factors in urban schoolchildren in Babol in a cross-sectional study of 1000 schoolchildren aged 7-12 years. Weight and height were measured and data on sports activities and leisure time physical activities were collected by questionnaire. Overweight/obesity were assessed by comparing body mass index (BMI) values to the BMI index for age and sex percentiles set by CDC, Atlanta. The prevalence of obesity and overweight was 5-8% and 12.3% respec vely. The prevalence was significantly lower in girls compared with boys (age-adjusted OR = 0.69, 95% Cl: 0.50-0.96) and higher among private-school educated children compared with public- school educated students (age adjusted OR = 2.17, 95% Cl: 1.47-3.18). For each additional score of leisure time physical activity, the age-adjusted OR decreased significantly.

Esteghamati A, Alamdari A, Zandieh A, Elahi S, Khalilzadeh O, Nakhjavani M, Meysamie A. Endocrinology and Metabolism Research Center, Vali-Asr Hospital, School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. esteghamati@tums.ac.ir Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of serum visfa n, adiponec n and lep n with 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the context of the role of obesity or insulin resistance, which is not well understood. METHODS: A total of 76 newly-diagnosed T2DM pa ents and 76 healthy control subjects, matched for age, body mass index (BMI) and sex ratio, were enrolled. Anthropometric parameters, glycemic and lipid profile, insulin resistance (measured by homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index [HOMA-IR]), leptin, adiponectin, and visfatin were assessed. RESULTS: On the contrary to adiponectin, serum leptin and visfatin levels were higher in T2DM pa ents compared with controls (10.07 ± 4.5, 15.87 ± 16.4, and 5.49 ± 2.4 vs. 12.22 ± 4.9 μg/ml, 8.5 ± 7.8 ng/ml and 3.58 ± 2.2 ng/ml, respec vely, P<0.01). Waist circumference and BMI were correlated with leptin and adiponectin but not with visfatin. Leptin, adiponectin and visfatin all were associated with T2DM following adjus ng for obesity measures. After controlling for HOMA-IR, visfatin remained as an independent predictor of T2DM (odds ra o=1.32, P<0.05). In a mul ple regression analysis to determine visfatin only triglycerides and fasting glucose remained in the model (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Eleva on of visfa n in T2DM is independent of obesity and insulin resistance and is mainly determined by fasting glucose and triglycerides.

azadbakht@hlth.mui.ac.ir Abstract OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between diet and disease, consideration of whole-diet indices may be more informative than single- nutrient intake. The present study was conducted to report the relationship among dietary diversity score (DDS), obesity and abdominal adiposity among female university students.
18-28 years was selected randomly from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Usual dietary intake was assessed using a validated semi- quantitative FFQ. DDS was calculated according to the scoring of the five food groups based on the US Department of Agriculture Food Guide Pyramid. This is a score of diet variety, and shows the diversity of the consumed diet. Participants were categorised on the basis of quartile cut- off points of DDS. Potential confounders such as age, total energy intake and physical activity were considered in all the analyses.
kg/m2 and 85·5 (sd 14) cm, respec vely. The probability of obesity decreased with quar les of DDS (OR among quar les: 1.00, 0.41, 0.31 and 0.21, P = 0.03; this was the same for abdominal adiposity: 1.00, 0.55, 0.36 and 0.21, P = 0.02). Those in the lowest quar le of the DDS had the highest risk for being overweight. CONCLUSIONS: There were inverse associations among DDS, obesity and abdominal adiposity among the female students of Isfahan University. Further prospective investigations are needed to confirm this finding.
