Obesity and Bariatric Surgery in Canines | Chapter 7 | Medical Research and Its Applications Vol. 2

 Canine obesity is a common problem in some breeds. Traditional treatment method includes diet restriction, exercise and medication. Minimal invasive laparoscopic bariatric surgeries are trending in humans for the long-term management of obesity. Veterinarians are also turning towards these techniques in managing severely obese dogs. Bariatric surgical options are numerous and continue to expand with advancing technology due to the availability of less invasive procedures. Bariatric surgeries are done under general anaesthesia by using minimally invasive techniques. Dedicated trials and research on this horizon will surely enlighten the path to the adoption of these techniques in the veterinary field. This chapter includes various aspects of obesity development in canines and different bariatric procedures in detail.

Research on the Rise of Circulatory Endothelin (ET)- 1 and Endothelin Receptors (ETA, ETB) Expression in Kidney of Obese Wistar Rat| Chapter 3 | Recent Research Advances in Biology Vol. 2

 Context: Endothelin (ET)-1, a circulatory protein, and its receptors (ETA and ETB) have been reported to play a pivotal role in several diseases, including obesity, in different species. The research is intended to observe the extent of ET-1 circulatory and ETA/ETB expression in obese ventricles and kidneys compared to non-obese Wistar rats. Methods: obese groups at 14 and 34 weeks Wistar rats were compared at equivalent ages with non-obese controls. The ventricle and kidney circulatory ET-1, ETA and ETB concentrations were calculated by the Enzyme Associated Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique following the conclusion of the two groups at weeks 14 and 24.

Results: The amount of circulatory ET-1, kidney and LDL expression of ETA and ETB in obese rats was significantly higher than that of control rats (T-test, P<0.05) in the elderly, with no discrepancies between ETA and ETB in the ventricle. No variations in circulatory ET-1, ETA and ETB expression levels were observed between the obese and younger rat control groups (P>0.05). HDL levels for both groups were below normal value. Conclusion: Obesity in obese elderly rats contributes to kidney vessel dysregulation due to ET-1 and ETA/ETB operation.

Educational Interventions in the Management of Overweight and Obesity in Adolescents | Chapter 16 | Research Trends and Challenges in Medical Science Vol. 3

Introduction: Overweight and obesity is a serious global health problem in minors related to multiple chronic degenerative or fatal diseases. Aim: To analyze the results of available scientific studies of educational interventions in the management of overweight or obesity in adolescents. Methodology: Those studies found in a database between 2014-2019 that performed intervention or management of overweight or obesity in a population between 6 and 18 years of age were included. Results and Discussion: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria of which only three performed a probabilistic sampling being these more significant. Different types of interventions were identified from educational, cognitive-behavioural and physical activity promotion. The variables with the greatest significant difference were body composition and waist circumference, the Body Mass Index still has no significant difference. Conclusion: Educational interventions achieve an important role in the management of overweight or obesity having significant changes in the short, medium and long term.
