Cardiopulmonary fitness but not muscular fitness associated with visceral adipose tissue mass

ByThe Short Paper

Article

They took 99 overweight/obese participants were assessed for cardio and muscular fitness.  Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue were measured with a CT scan and measured cardio and muscular fitness. They found that cardio fitness and not muscular fitness was associated with visceral adipose tissue decreased. However, age, cardio fitness, and muscular fitness were associated with decreased subcutaneous tissue. Cardio and muscular fitness are both associated with reduced subcutaneous adipose tissue.

TL;DR Visceral adipose tissue was more positively affected more by cardio versus weight lifting, but subcutaneous adipose tissue was affected by muscular and cardio fitness

Simple Summary – MicroRNAs signatures, bioinformatics analysis of miRNAs, miRNA mimics and antagonists, and miRNA therapeutics in osteosarcoma

ByThe Short Paper

Link to the article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7302353/ MicroRNA can have suppressive effects on certain biochemical pathways involved in cancer specifically osteosarcoma in regards to this paper. Using bioinformatics techniques, they were able to hone into specific miRNA that can suppress osteosarcoma. TL;DR Increases in certain molecular mechanisms can help suppress bone cancer (osteosarcoma)
