glucose tolerance and its correlation with different cardio-metabolic parameters. Material …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is altered in obese subjects, but whether this is true also in
underweight (UW) subjects is still under debate. We investigated the HRV profile in a …

Objectives: Obesity and stress are independently associated with decrements in
neuromuscular functions. The present study examined the interplay of obesity and stress on …
