      Maza Cave, María Pía de la; Hirsch Birn, Sandra; Jara, Natalia; Leiva Balich, Laura; Barrera Acevedo, Gladys; Claudio, Silva; Pañella, Loreto; Henríquez, Sandra; Bunout Barnett, Daniel (AULA MEDICA EDICIONES, 2015)
      Background/Aims: To measure skeletal muscle lipid infiltration, its association with insulin resistance (IR) lean mass and function, in Chilean men differing in age and body composition. Our hypothesis was that muscle lipid ...
    • Effect of calorie restriction on energy expenditure in overweight and obese adult women 
      Jiménez Jaime, Teresa; Leiva Balich, Laura; Barrera Acevedo, Gladys; Maza Cave, María Pía de la; Hirsch Birn, Sandra; Henríquez Parada, Sandra; Rodríguez Silva, Juan; Bunout Barnett, Daniel (Aula Médica Ediciones, 2015)
      Energy expenditure (EE) may decrease in subjects on hypocaloric diets, in amounts that exceed body mass loss, favoring weight regain. Objective: to verify if a short-term caloric restriction lowers Resting Energy ...
    • Factors related to total energy expenditure in older adults (Chile) 
      Pakozdi, Tamara; Leiva Balich, Laura; Bunout Barnett, Daniel; Barrera Acevedo, Gladys; Maza Cave, María Pía de la; Henríquez, Sandra; Hirsch Birn, Sandra (Aula Médica Ediciones, 2015)

    • Maximal expiratory pressure predicts mortality in patients hospitalized in medical and surgical wards 
      Canales González, Elena; Barrera Acevedo, Gladys; Hirsch Birn, Sandra; Maza Cave, María Pía de la; Bunout Barnett, Daniel (Arán Ediciones, 2018)
      Background: the prognostic value of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures on functional capacity and mortality of hospitalized patients are not well established. Aim: to evaluate the prognostic value of respiratory ...
    • Rectus femoris (RF) ultrasound for the assessment of muscle mass in older people 
      Berger, Juan; Bunout Barnett, Daniel; Barrera Acevedo, Gladys; Maza Cave, María Pía de la; Henríquez, Sandra; Leiva Balich, Laura; Hirsch Birn, Sandra (Elsevier, 2015)

    • Reduction of serum advanced glycation end-products with a low calorie Mediterranean diet 
      Rodríguez, Juan Manuel; Leiva Balich, Laura; Concha, M. J.; Mizón, C.; Bunout Barnett, Daniel; Barrera Acevedo, Gladys; Hirsch Birn, Sandra; Jiménez Jaime, Teresa; Henríquez, Sandra; Uribarri, Jaime; Maza Cave, María Pía de la (Aula Médica Ediciones, 2015)
      Dietary intake of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) increases circulating and tissue levels of these substances, contributing to a state of increased oxidative stress and inflammation. A low dietary AGE intervention ...
