- Exercise Mitigates Bone Loss in Women With Severe Obesity After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: A Randomized Controlled Trial(2019) MURAI, Igor H.; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; DANTAS, Wagner S.; GIL, Saulo; MEREGE-FILHO, Carlos; CLEVA, Roberto de; SA-PINTO, Ana L. De; LIMA, Fernanda; SANTO, Marco A.; BENATTI, Fabiana B.; KIRWAN, John P.; PEREIRA, Rosa M.; GUALANO, BrunoContext: Bone loss after bariatric surgery potentially could be mitigated by exercise. Objective: To investigate the role of exercise training (ET) in attenuating bariatric surgery-induced bone loss. Design: Randomized, controlled trial. Setting: Referral center for bariatric surgery. Patients: Seventy women with severe obesity, aged 25 to 55 years, who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Intervention: Supervised, 6-month, ET program after RYGB vs. standard of care (RYGB only). Outcomes: Areal bone mineral density (aBMD) was the primary outcome. Bone microarchitecture, bone turnover, and biochemical markers were secondary outcomes. Results: Surgery significantly decreased femoral neck, total hip, distal radius, and whole body aBMD (P < 0.001); and increased bone turnover markers, including collagen type I C-telopeptide (CTX), procollagen type I N-propeptide (P1NP), sclerostin, and osteopontin (P < 0.05). Compared with RYGB only, exercise mitigated the percent loss of aBMD at femoral neck [estimated mean difference (EMD), -2.91%; P = 0.007;], total hip (EMD, -2.26%; P = 0.009), distal radius (EMD, -1.87%; P = 0.038), and cortical volumetric bone mineral density at distal radius (EMD, -2.09%; P = 0.024). Exercise also attenuated CTX (EMD, -0.20 ng/mL; P = 0.002), P1 NP (EMD, -17.59 ng/mL; P = 0.024), and sclerostin levels (EMD, -610 pg/mL; P = 0.046) in comparison with RYGB. Exercise did not affect biochemical markers (e.g., 25(OH)D, calcium, intact PTH, phosphorus, and magnesium). Conclusion: Exercise mitigated bariatric surgery-induced bone loss, possibly through mechanisms involving suppression in bone turnover and sclerostin. Exercise should be incorporated in postsurgery care to preserve bone mass.
- Quality of life, fatigue, sleep quality, and mental health in systemic lupus erythematosus patients with a high cardiovascular risk profile(2023) MAZZOLANI, Bruna Caruso; SMAIRA, Fabiana Infante; SIECZKOWSKA, Sofia; ROMERO, Marina; RIBEIRO, Thaina Toledo; AMARANTE, Milla Cordeiro; PASOTO, Sandra; PINTO, Ana Lucia de Sa; LIMA, Fernanda Rodrigues; BENATTI, Fabiana Braga; BONFA, Eloisa; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, BrunoSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients report worse health-related quality of life (HRQL), fatigue, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality, when compared to the general population and other chronic diseases. Furthermore, cardiometabolic diseases are highly prevalent in SLE and are also associated with these parameters. Thus, it is plausible to suggest that SLE patients with a high cardiovascular risk may report worse results for these parameters. The aim of the study is to describe HRQL, fatigue, anxiety and depression symptoms, and sleep quality in a sample of SLE patients with a high cardiovascular risk profile (i.e., BMI between 25 and 40 kg/m2 and/or dyslipidemia, hypertension, or diabetes). This was a cross-sectional study where patients were assessed for (i) demographic, anthropometric, and disease-related parameters, (ii) HRQL, (iii) fatigue, (iv) anxiety and depression symptoms, and (v) sleep quality. One-hundred patients completed the study; however, only 87 patients were assessed for sleep quality data. Patients averaged 41.7 & PLUSMN; 9 years, and most patients were classified as overweight/obese (87%). SF-36 scores for physical and mental components summary were 51.3 & PLUSMN; 9.6 and 54.2 & PLUSMN; 15.6, respectively, with ""bodily pain"" and ""role emotional"" presenting the lower scores. The total SLEQOL score was 105.1 & PLUSMN; 42.0, with lower scores reported for ""self-image"" and ""mood."" Fatigue score was 30.8 & PLUSMN; 8.9, and 78% and 93% reported severe symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. The average sleep effectiveness was 82.9 & PLUSMN; 6.6%. Sleep latency, total time in bed (TTiB), and total sleep time (TST) were 8.4 & PLUSMN; 8.9, 495.8 & PLUSMN; 79.7, and 409.7 & PLUSMN; 69.9 min, respectively. Patients reported an average of 17.8 & PLUSMN; 6.2 WE, with 4.5 & PLUSMN; 1.5 min duration and a WASO of 77.7 & PLUSMN; 36.6 min. Despite similar HRQL, fatigue, and sleep quality parameters to those reported by other SLE populations, SLE patients with a high cardiovascular risk had a higher prevalence of depression and anxiety. Understanding SLE patients' quality of life and psychological symptoms is of utmost importance to improve disease management. The findings of this study highlight the need for more intensive and global care regarding mental health when considering a high cardiovascular risk in SLE.
- Acute cardiometabolic effects of brief active breaks in sitting for patients with rheumatoid arthritis(2021) PINTO, Ana J.; MEIRELES, Kamila; PECANHA, Tiago; MAZZOLANI, Bruna C.; I, Fabiana Smaira; REZENDE, Diego; BENATTI, Fabiana B.; RIBEIRO, Ana C. M.; PINTO, Ana L. S.; LIMA, Fernanda R.; SHINJO, Samuel K.; DANTAS, Wagner S.; MELLETT, Natalie A.; MEIKLE, Peter J.; OWEN, Neville; DUNSTAN, David W.; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, BrunoExercise is a treatment in rheumatoid arthritis, but participation in moderate-to-vigorous exercise is challenging for some patients. Light-intensity breaks in sitting could be a promising alternative. We compared the acute effects of active breaks in sitting with those of moderate-to-vigorous exercise on cardiometabolic risk markers in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In a crossover fashion, 15 women with rheumatoid arthritis underwent three 8-h experimental conditions: prolonged sitting (SIT), 30-min bout of moderate-to-vigorous exercise followed by prolonged sitting (EX), and 3-min bouts of light-intensity walking every 30 min of sitting (BR). Postprandial glucose, insulin, c-peptide, triglycerides, cytokines, lipid classes/subclasses (lipidomics), and blood pressure responses were assessed. Muscle biopsies were collected following each session to assess targeted proteins/genes. Glucose [-28% in area under the curve (AUC), P = 0.036], insulin (-28% in AUC, P = 0.016), and c-peptide (-27% in AUC, P = 0.006) postprandial responses were attenuated in BR versus SIT, whereas only c-peptide was lower in EX versus SIT (-20% in AUC, P = 0.002). IL-1 beta decreased during BR, but increased during EX and SIT (P = 0.027 and P = 0.085, respectively). IL-1ra was increased during EX versus BR (P = 0.002). TNF-alpha concentrations decreased during BR versus EX (P = 0.022). EX, but not BR, reduced systolic blood pressure (P = 0.013). Lipidomic analysis showed that 7 of 36 lipid classes/subclasses were significantly different between conditions, with greater changes being observed in EX. No differences were observed for protein/gene expression. Brief active breaks in sitting can offset markers of cardiometabolic disturbance, which may be particularly useful for patients who may find it difficult to adhere to exercise. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Exercise is a treatment in rheumatoid arthritis but is challenging for some patients. Light-intensity breaks in sitting could be a promising alternative. Our findings show beneficial, but differential, cardiometabolic effects of active breaks in sitting and exercise in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Breaks in sitting mainly improved glycemic and inflammatory markers, whereas exercise improved lipidomic and hypotensive responses. Breaks in sitting show promise in offsetting aspects of cardiometabolic disturbance associated with prolonged sitting in rheumatoid arthritis.
- The effects of exercise on lipid profile in systemic lupus erythematosus and healthy individuals: a randomized trial(2015) BENATTI, Fabiana Braga; MIOSSI, Renata; PASSARELI, Marisa; NAKANDAKARE, Edna R.; PERANDINI, Luiz; LIMA, Fernanda Rodrigues; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; BORBA, Eduardo; BONFA, Eloisa; GUALANO, Bruno; PINTO, Ana Lucia de SaThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of an exercise training program on lipid profile and composition of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and healthy controls. A 12-week, randomized trial was conducted. Thirty-three physically inactive SLE patients were randomly assigned into two groups: trained (SLE-TR, n = 17) and non-trained (SLE-NT, n = 16). A gender-, BMI-, and age-matched healthy control groups (C-TR, n = 11) also underwent the exercise program. Subjects were assessed at baseline (Pre) and 12 weeks after the 3-month exercise training program (Post) for lipid profile (HDL, low-density lipoprotein, very low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol and triglycerides levels) and composition of the HDL subfractions HDL2 and HDL3. SLE patients showed significantly lower contents of Apo A-I, phospholipid, and triglyceride in the HDL3 subfraction (p < 0.05, between-group comparisons) than healthy controls at baseline. The exercise training program did not affect any of the parameters in the SLE-TR group (p > 0.05, within-group comparisons), although there was a trend toward decreased circulating Apo B levels (p = 0.06, ES = -0.3, within-group comparison). In contrast, the same exercise training program was effective in increasing contents of cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid in the HDL2 subfraction in the C-TR group (p = 0.036, ES = 2.06; p = 0.038, ES = 1.77; and p = 0.0021, ES = 2.37, respectively, within-group comparisons), whereas no changes were observed in the composition of the HDL3 subfraction. This study showed that SLE patients have a less effective response to a 12-week exercise training program than healthy individuals, with regard to lipid profile and chemical composition of HDL subfractions. These results reinforce the need for further studies to define the optimal training protocol to improve lipid profile and particularly the HDL composition in these patients (registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01515163).
- Poor agreement of objectively measured and self-reported physical activity in juvenile dermatomyositis and juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus(2016) PINTO, Ana Jessica; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; BENATTI, Fabiana Braga; PINTO, Ana Lcia de Sa; SALLUM, Adriana Maluf Elias; SILVA, Clovis Arthur; GUALANO, BrunoTo examine the agreement and association between objectively measured and indirectly assessed physical activity levels in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) patients. The sample consisted of 19 JDM patients (age 8 to 22 years) and 20 JSLE patients (age 9 to 18 years). Physical activity level was objectively measured using ActigraphA (R) accelerometers and indirectly assessed by the short-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Spearman's correlation coefficients were calculated to test possible associations between physical activity levels across the two instruments. The Bland-Altman technique was used to calculate bias and limits of agreement. Correlations between objectively measured and indirectly assessed physical activity levels in JDM and JSLE were weak, varying from R = 0.03 to R = 0.33 (all p > 0.05). Total physical activity was correlated between accelerometer and IPAQ in JSLE (R = 0.51, p = 0.021). Bland-Altman analyses suggested that IPAQ tended to highly underestimate sedentary time and light physical activity in JDM (mean bias 105.7 and 199.8 min, respectively) and JSLE (mean bias 36.4 and 127.8 min, respectively). Mean biases of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were also highly variable, ranging from -42.9 to 54.9 min and -59.4 to 89.8 min for JDM and JSLE, respectively. IPAQ was shown to not be valid to assess physical activity levels in patients with JDM and JSLE when compared against accelerometry. While the validation of reliable self-reported instruments that measure physical activity in pediatric rheumatic patients remains necessary, the use of validated tools that objectively measure physical activity is recommended in both clinical and research settings.
article 14 Citação(ões) na Scopus Effects of acute aerobic exercise on leukocyte inflammatory gene expression in systemic lupus erythematosus(2016) PERANDINI, L. A.; SALES-DE-OLIVEIRA, D.; ALMEIDA, D. C.; AZEVEDO, H.; MOREIRA-FILHO, C. A.; CENEDEZE, M. A.; BENATTI, F. B.; LIMA, F. R.; BORBA, E.; BONFA, E.; SA-PINTO, A. L.; ROSCHEL, H.; CAMARA, N. O.; GUALANO, B.Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a persistent systemic inflammation. Exercise-induced inflammatory response in SLE remains to be fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of acute exercise on leukocyte gene expression in active (SLEACTIVE) and inactive SLE (SLEINACTIVE) patients and healthy controls (HC). Methods: All subjects (n = 4 per group) performed a 30-min single bout of acute aerobic exercise (similar to 70% of VO2 peak) on a treadmill, and blood samples were collected for RNA extraction from circulating leukocyte at baseline, at the end of exercise, and after three hours of recovery. The expression of a panel of immune-related genes was evaluated by a quantitative PCR array assay. Moreover, network-based analyses were performed to interpret transcriptional changes occurring after the exercise challenge. Results: In all groups, a single bout of acute exercise led to the down-regulation of the gene expression of innate and adaptive immunity at the end of exercise (e.g., TLR3, IFNG, GATA3, FOXP3, STAT4) with a subsequent up-regulation occurring upon recovery. Exercise regulated the expression of inflammatory genes in the blood leukocytes of the SLE patients and HC, although the SLE groups exhibited fewer modulated genes and less densely connected networks (number of nodes: 29, 40 and 58; number of edges: 29, 60 and 195; network density: 0.07, 0.08 and 0.12, for SLEACTIVE, SLEINACTIVE and HC, respectively). Conclusion: The leukocytes from the SLE patients, irrespective of disease activity, showed a down-regulated inflammatory gene expression immediately after acute aerobic exercise, followed by an up-regulation at recovery. Furthermore, less organized gene networks were observed in the SLE patients, suggesting that they may be deficient in triggering a normal exercise-induced immune transcriptional response.- Effects of long-term low-dose dietary creatine supplementation in older women(2015) LOBO, Daniel Medeiros; TRITTO, Aline Cristina; SILVA, Luana Rodrigues da; OLIVEIRA, Paloma Borges de; BENATTI, Fabiana Braga; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; NIESS, Barbara; GUALANO, Bruno; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria RodriguesObjective: We aimed to investigate the effects of a one-year low-dose creatine supplementation trial on bone health, lean mass, and muscle function in older postmenopausal women. Methods: A double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo controlled trial was conducted between November 2011 and November 2013 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Postmenopausal osteopenic women were randomly allocated (1:1) into creatine (n = 56; 1 g/d) or placebo group (n = 53; dextrose at same dose). At baseline and after one year of intervention, we assessed parameters of bone health, body composition, and muscle function. Blood parameters were also assessed before and after the intervention and adverse events were recorded throughout the trial. Possible differences in dietary intake were assessed by three 24-h dietary recalls. Results: Bone mineral density at lumbar spine, femoral neck, total femur, and whole body did not differ within- or between-groups. No significant changes in body weight, BMI, absolute and relative body fat, and body lean mass were observed. Muscle function, as assessed by timed-up-and-go and timed-stands tests, were not significantly changed within- or between-groups. Safety laboratory parameters remained unaltered. Conclusion: A one-year low-dose creatine supplementation (I g/d) was free of adverse effects, but did not affect bone health parameters, lean mass, or muscle function in older women. Further studies with longer follow-up periods and higher doses of creatine supplementation are warranted. (Registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT01472393).
- Increased Insulin Resistance and Glucagon Levels in Mild/Inactive Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients Despite Normal Glucose Tolerance(2018) MIYAKE, Cintia N. H.; GUALANO, Bruno; DANTAS, Wagner S.; PEREIRA, Renato T.; NEVES, William; ZAMBELLI, Vanessa O.; SHINJO, Samuel K.; PEREIRA, Rosa M.; SILVA, Elizabeth R.; SA-PINTO, Ana Lucia; BORBA, Eduardo; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; BONFA, Eloisa; BENATTI, Fabiana B.ObjectiveTo assess insulin sensitivity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in response to a meal tolerance test (MTT). MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, 33 adult females with mild/inactive SLE (SLE group) and 16 age- and body mass index-matched female healthy controls (CTRL group) underwent an MTT and were assessed for insulin sensitivity and beta cell function. Skeletal muscle protein expressions of total and membrane insulin-dependent glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) were also evaluated (SLE group: n = 10, CTRL group: n = 5); muscle biopsies were performed after MTT. Further measurements included inflammatory cytokines, adipocytokines, physical activity level, body composition, and food intake. ResultsSLE and CTRL groups showed similar fasting glucose, glucose response, and skeletal muscle GLUT-4 translocation after MTT. However, the SLE group demonstrated higher fasting insulin levels (P = 0.01; effect size [ES] 1.2), homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (IR) (P = 0.03; ES 1.1), insulin-to-glucose ratio response to MTT (P = 0.02; ES 1.2), fasting glucagon levels (P = 0.002; ES 2.7), glucagon response to MTT (P = 0.0001; ES 2.6), and a tendency toward lower Matsuda index of whole-body insulin sensitivity (P = 0.06; ES -0.5) when compared with the CTRL group. Fasting proinsulin-to-insulin ratio and proinsulin-to-insulin ratio response to MTT were similar between groups (P > 0.05), while the SLE group showed a higher insulinogenic index when compared with the CTRL group (P = 0.02; ES = 0.9). ConclusionWe have identified that SLE patients had a bi-hormone metabolic abnormality characterized by increased IR and hyperglucagonemia despite normal glucose tolerance and preserved beta cell function and skeletal muscle GLUT-4 translocation. Strategies capable of ameliorating insulin sensitivity to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease in SLE may require more than targeting IR alone.
- A randomized controlled trial to reduce sedentary time in rheumatoid arthritis: protocol and rationale of the Take a STAND for Health study(2020) PINTO, Ana Jessica; PECANHA, Tiago; MEIRELES, Kamila; BENATTI, Fabiana Braga; BONFIGLIOLI, Karina; PINTO, Ana Lucia de Sa; LIMA, Fernanda Rodrigues; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria Rodrigues; IRIGOYEN, Maria Claudia Costa; TURNER, James Edward; KIRWAN, John P.; OWEN, Neville; DUNSTAN, David W.; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, BrunoBackground Patients with rheumatoid arthritis spend most of their daily hours in sedentary behavior (sitting), a predisposing factor to poor health-related outcomes and all-cause mortality. Interventions focused on reducing sedentary time could be of novel therapeutic relevance. However, studies addressing this topic remain scarce. We aim to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of a newly developed intervention focused on reducing sedentary time, and potential clinical, physiological, metabolic and molecular effects in rheumatoid arthritis. Methods The Take a STAND for Health study is a 4-month, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial, in which postmenopausal patients with rheumatoid arthritis will set individually tailored, progressive goals to replace their sedentary time with standing and light-intensity activities. Patients will be recruited from the Clinical Hospital (School of Medicine, University of Sao Paulo) and will be assessed at baseline and after a 4-month follow up. Outcomes will include objectively measured sedentary behavior (primary outcome) and physical activity levels, clinical parameters, anthropometric parameters and body composition; aerobic fitness, muscle function, blood pressure, cardiovascular autonomic function, vascular function and structure, health-related quality of life, and food intake. Blood and muscle samples will be collected for assessing potential mechanisms, through targeted and non-targeted approaches. Discussion Findings will be of scientific and clinical relevance with the potential to inform new prescriptions focused on reducing sedentary behavior, a modifiable risk factor that thus far has been overlooked in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
