Abstract
BACKGROUND Restrictions implemented by governments during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected people's eating habits and physical activity. We investigated the effect of COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions on body mass index (BMI) and weight in a UK population, according to BMI class, sex, age and ethnicity. METHODS This retrospective observational cohort study used the Clinical Practice Research Datalink AURUM database. Baseline spanned from 22 March 2017-22 March 2020, and the follow-up lockdown period was from 23 March 2020 (start of the lockdown in the UK) to 13 March 2021. The descriptive analysis included individuals with ≥ 1 valid BMI/weight measurements during both the baseline and follow-up periods, while the model-based analysis comprised individuals with ≥ 1 valid measurement(s) during baseline. Results were stratified by baseline BMI category, sex, age and ethnicity. RESULTS In the descriptive analysis (n = 273,529), most individuals did not change BMI category post-lockdown (66.4-83.3%). A greater proportion of women (12.6%) than men (9.5%) moved up BMI categories post-lockdown. Compared with older groups, a higher proportion of individuals < 45 years old increased post-lockdown BMI category. The model-based analysis (n = 938,150) revealed consistent trends, where changes in body weight and BMI trajectories pre- and post-lockdown were observed for women and for individuals < 45 years. CONCLUSION During COVID-19 restrictions, women and young individuals were more likely than other groups to increase BMI category and weight post-lockdown.

Abstract
WHAT IS THIS SUMMARY ABOUT? This is a summary of a research survey called ACTION Teens. In our survey, 12,987 people from 10 countries answered questions about obesity. They were: 5275 teenagers with obesity, 5389 caregivers of teenagers with obesity, and 2323 doctors who provide medical care for teenagers with obesity. WHAT WERE THE MAIN RESULTS OF THE SURVEY? Most teenagers with obesity were worried about their weight and thought that losing weight was their responsibility. Many teenagers had already tried to lose weight. For teenagers, wanting to be more fit or in better shape was the top reason for wanting to lose weight. Some caregivers did not realize how worried their teenager was about their own weight. There were also some caregivers who were not aware of their teenager's recent attempts to lose weight. As a group, the doctors did not know the main reasons why teenagers want to lose weight. They also did not know the main reasons preventing teenagers from losing weight. WHAT DO THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY MEAN? Teenagers with obesity will be better supported and understood if there is better communication between teenagers, caregivers, and doctors. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05013359 (ClinicalTrials.gov).

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited evidence regarding the experiences, challenges, and needs of adolescents living with obesity (ALwO), their caregivers, and healthcare professionals (HCPs). OBJECTIVES The cross-sectional, survey-based global ACTION Teens study aimed to identify perceptions, attitudes, behaviours, and barriers to effective obesity care among ALwO, caregivers of ALwO, and HCPs. METHODS ALwO (aged 12 to <18 years; N = 5275), caregivers (N = 5389), and HCPs treating ALwO (N = 2323) from 10 countries completed an online survey (August-December 2021). RESULTS Most ALwO perceived their weight as above normal (76% vs. 66% of caregivers), were worried about its impact on their health (85% vs. 80% of caregivers), and recently made a weight loss attempt (58%). While 45% of caregivers believed ALwO would slim down with age, only 24% of HCPs agreed. Most commonly reported weight loss motivators for ALwO were wanting to be more fit/in better shape according to ALwO (40%) and caregivers (32%), and improved confidence/social life according to HCPs (69%). ALwO weight loss barriers included lack of hunger control (most commonly reported by ALwO/caregivers), lack of motivation, unhealthy eating habits (most commonly agreed by HCPs), and lack of exercise. CONCLUSIONS Misalignment between ALwO, caregivers, and HCPs-including caregivers' underestimation of the impact of obesity on ALwO and HCPs' misperception of key motivators/barriers for weight loss-suggests a need for improved communication and education.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with obesity (PwO) often struggle to achieve and maintain weight loss. This can perpetuate and/or be influenced by feelings of low motivation. This analysis from ACTION-IO data identified factors associated with PwO motivation to lose weight. METHODS PwO completed an online survey in 11 countries. Exploratory multinomial logistic regression analyses identified independent variables associated with self-report of feeling motivated versus not motivated to lose weight. RESULTS Data from 10,854 PwO were included (5,369 motivated; 3,312 neutral; 2,173 not motivated). Variables associated with feeling motivated versus not motivated included (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]): acknowledgement of healthcare professional (HCP) responsibility to contribute to weight loss (2.32 [1.86-2.88]), comfort in talking to their HCP about weight (1.46 [1.24-1.72), agreement that it is easy to lose weight (1.73 [1.30-2.31]), and a goal of reducing risks from excess weight (1.45 [1.22-1.73]). Conversely, if PwO considered obesity less important than other diseases they were less likely to report feeling motivated (0.49 [0.41-0.58]). PwO who reported being motivated to lose weight were more likely to exercise ≥5 times a week versus <1 time a week (2.77 [2.09-3.68]) than those who reported they were not motivated. CONCLUSIONS Positive interactions with HCPs, self-efficacy, setting goals and knowledge of the importance of weight management, in addition to regular exercising, may increase PwO motivation for weight loss. Appropriate HCP support may help PwO who are ready to engage in weight management. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03584191.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The care of people with obesity is often suboptimal due to both physician and patient perceptions about obesity itself and clinical barriers. Using data from the ACTION-IO study, we aimed to identify factors that might improve the quality of obesity care through adoption of the 3D approach (Discussion, Diagnosis and Direction [follow-up]) by healthcare professionals (HCPs). METHODS An online survey was completed by HCPs in 11 countries. Exploratory beta regression analyses identified independent variables associated with each component of the 3D approach. RESULTS Data from 2,331 HCPs were included in the statistical models. HCPs were significantly more likely to initiate weight discussions and inform patients of obesity diagnoses, respectively, if (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]): they recorded an obesity diagnosis in their patient's medical notes (1.59, [1.43-1.76] and 2.16 [1.94-2.40], respectively); and they were comfortable discussing weight with their patients (1.53 [1.39-1.69] and 1.15 [1.04-1.27]). HCPs who reported feeling motivated to help their patients lose weight were also more likely to initiate discussions (1.36 [1.21-1.53]) and schedule follow-up appointments (1.21 [1.06-1.38]). By contrast, HCPs who lacked advanced formal training in obesity management were less likely to inform patients of obesity diagnoses (0.83 [0.74-0.92]) or schedule follow-up appointments (0.69 [0.62-0.78]). CONCLUSION Specific actions that could improve obesity care through the 3D approach include: encouraging HCPs to record an obesity diagnosis; providing tools to help HCPs feel more comfortable initiating weight discussions; and provision of training in obesity management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the performance of IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (IgA anti-tTG), IgA anti-endomysial antibodies (IgA EMA), and IgA/IgG antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides (IgA/IgG anti-DGP) for the diagnosis of celiac disease. METHODS Descriptive study in patients with celiac disease. Anti-DGP (IgA/IgG), IgA EMA, IgA anti-tTG antibodies were measured and an intestinal biopsy was done. Sex: female (61 %). Median age: 78.4 months old. RESULTS A total of 136 children were included; 108 had high IgA anti-DGP titers; 124, increased IgG anti-DGP titers; 128, positive IgA EMA titers; and 130, increased IgA anti-tTG titers. High IgG anti-DGP titers were observed in 4/6 patients with negative IgA anti-tTG antibodies. The combination of IgG anti-DGP + IgA anti-tTG antibodies showed a positive correlation in 134 patients and the IgG anti-DGP + EMA combination was positive in 133 children. CONCLUSION IgA EMA, IgA anti-tTG, and IgG anti-DGP antibodies exhibited an adequate specificity and sensitivity. The IgG anti-DGP/anti-tTG combination showed a 98-99 % sensitivity and a 100 % specificity. The anti-tTG and IgG anti-DGP option yields excellent results, with a low cost and independence from the observer.

Abstract
AIMS Despite increased recognition as a chronic disease, obesity remains greatly underdiagnosed and undertreated. We aimed to identify international perceptions, attitudes, behaviours and barriers to effective obesity care in people with obesity (PwO) and healthcare professionals (HCPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS An online survey was conducted in 11 countries. Participants were adults with obesity and HCPs who were primarily concerned with direct patient care. RESULTS A total of 14 502 PwO and 2785 HCPs completed the survey. Most PwO (68%) and HCPs (88%) agreed that obesity is a disease. However, 81% of PwO assumed complete responsibility for their own weight loss and only 44% of HCPs agreed that genetics were a barrier. There was a median of three (mean, six) years between the time PwO began struggling with excess weight or obesity and when they first discussed their weight with an HCP. Many PwO were concerned about the impact of excess weight on health (46%) and were motivated to lose weight (48%). Most PwO (68%) would like their HCP to initiate a conversation about weight and only 3% were offended by such a conversation. Among HCPs, belief that patients have little interest in or motivation for weight management may constitute a barrier for weight management conversations. When discussed, HCPs typically recommended lifestyle changes; however, more referrals and follow-up appointments are required. CONCLUSIONS Our international dataset reveals a need to increase understanding of obesity and improve education concerning its physiological basis and clinical management. Realization that PwO are motivated to lose weight offers an opportunity for HCPs to initiate earlier weight management conversations.

Abstract
The endocrine disruptor di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is used in a variety of consumer products made with polyvinyl chloride and also in the manufacture of medical devices. DEHP disrupts reproductive tract development in an antiandrogenic manner and also may induce neurobehavioral changes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic postnatal exposure to DEHP (30 mg/kg body weight/day, orally from birth to day 60) on the neuroendocrine regulation of the gonadal axis and its impact on the anxiety-like behavior in adult male rats, as well as the probable participation of the GABAergic system in these effects. DEHP produced a significant increase in plasmatic luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone, as well as significant testosterone decrease, accompanied with a decrease in hypothalamic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) concentration. On the other hand, DEHP increased the anxiety-like behavior in the elevated plus maze test, evidenced by a significant decrease in the percentages of time spent in the open arms and the frequency in the open arm entries and a significant increase in the percentage of time spent in closed arms. Neuroendocrine and behavioral effects were reversed by GABA agonists, muscimol (2 mg/kg i.p. ) and baclofen (10 mg/kg i.p.). In conclusion, chronic DEHP postnatal exposure induced a disruption in the neuroendocrine regulation of the testicular axis in young adult male rats, and this effect was correlated with an anxiety-like behavior. Since GABA agonists reversed these effects, the results suggest that GABA could participate in the modulation of reproductive and behavioral DEHP effects.

Abstract
The research work studies the effect of providing a low dose of bisphenol A (BPA), on the reproductive axis of prepubertal female rats. Wistar mated rats were treated with either 0.1% ethanol or BPA in their drinking water until their offspring were weaned on the 21 day of birth. The estimated average dose of exposure to dams was approximately 3μg/kg/day. The pups were sacrificed at the 30th day of life. Body weight at the moment of the sacrifice was significantly higher in the group exposed to BPA; ovarian weight and its relative weight were not modified. LH and estradiol levels increased significantly, meanwhile FSH ones showed no significant changes. The number of primary, secondary and atretic follicles increased and antral ones was decreased. Our results demonstrated that early exposure to a low dose of BPA disrupts the normal function of the reproductive axis in prepubertal female rats.

Abstract
Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is the most widely used phthalate to convey flexibility and transparency to plastic products made of polyvinyl chloride. It has been recognized as endocrine disruptor and associated with reproductive toxic effects. We examined the effects of perinatal exposure to DEHP on anxiety-like behavior, using the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) test, in male and female rats at different stages of sexual development. Anxiety-like behavior was expressed as a) frequency of open arm entries over the total arm entries (% FEO); b) time spent in them compared with total time the animal stayed in the EPM (% TSO) and c) time spent in closed arms (TSC). Because DEHP has anti-androgenic action we also tested control and exposed immature male rats pretreated with testosterone. We found sex differences in behavior induced by DEHP; while male rats of 45 and 60 days of age showed a significant decrease in FEO and TSO percentages, as well as an increase in TSC, no changes were observed in anxiety-like behavior in perinatal DEHP exposed females at these ages of sexual maturation. In 60-day-old male rats, DEHP exposure produced a significant decrease in serum testosterone levels. Testosterone replacement was able to antagonize the adverse effects of DEHP exposure on LH, activating the negative feed-back mechanism of this steroid on reproductive axis, as well as increasing FEO and TSO percentages to similar values observed in the control group. These findings suggest that the anti-androgenic action of this chemical could be one possible mechanism underlie anxiogenic-like behavior produced by perinatal DEHP exposure in 60-day-old male rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment with Peg-interferon and ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) for HIV patients co-infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 has suboptimal rates of response. Viral kinetics has emerged as one of the best prognostic factors of treatment outcome. METHODS Twenty HIV/HCV genotype 1 co-infected patients in treatment with PEG-IFN/RBV, had blood drawn at baseline, 24 h, 4, 12, 24, 48, and 72 weeks. HCV-RNA levels were evaluated at each time point. ROC curves were used to evaluate the log10 HCV-RNA decay at 24 h that exhibits the best predictive value of achieving response. Genomic characterization of HCV NS5A at both interferon sensitivity-determining region (ISDR) and protein-kinase binding (PKRBD) domains were performed in order to evaluate its heterogeneity and association with 24 h HCV-RNA decay and SVR. RESULTS Non-responder patients exhibited a mean of 0.7 log10 (SD 0.74 log10) HCV-RNA decay at 24 h, whereas responder-patients presented 1.6 log10 (SD 0.28 log10), p = 0.04. A reduction in HCV viral load from baseline to 24 h of < 1.4 had a negative predictive value for achieving SVR of 100% and a positive predictive value of 50%. HCV genotype 1 isolates from patients with a decrease of HCV-RNA at 24 h > 1.4 log10, exhibited 3.1(SD 1.5) amino acids substitutions in ISDR and 4.8(SD 2.3) in PKRBD regions and 1.6(SD 0.7) and 2.4(SD 1.3), respectively, in those patients presenting lower reduction in HCV-RNA. CONCLUSIONS HIV/HCV genotype 1 co-infected patients with a decrease in HCV-VL at 24 h > 1.4 log10 are more likely to achieve SVR when treated with PEG-IFN/RBV than those with lower levels of HCV-RNA decay. Along with other host-related and viral-related prognostic factors in HIV/HCV co-infected patients, this very early time point of evaluation could be of relevance in the management of HCV-specific treatment.

Abstract
4-(Methylbenzylidene)-camphor (4-MBC), a UV-B ray filter, is an endocrine disruptors (ED). Our goal was to study the effect of 4-MBC on the neuroendocrine parameters that regulate reproduction in adult female and male rats that received this disrupter during prenatal development. The 4-MBC was administered (sc) to female rats (FO) since pregnancy onset, in doses of 100mg/kg every other day. The litters (F1) were sacrificed at 70 days to determine gonadotrophin serum levels and also GnRH and the amino acids glutamate, aspartate and GABA release from the hypothalamus. The male litter rats (F1) present at adult age a decrease in serum LH and FSH concentration and so also GnRH, excitatory amino acids and GABA hypothalamic secretion. The female litters (F1) rats present at adult age an increase in serum LH and FSH concentration, whereas hypothalamic GnRH release was not modified. In these animals a significant increase of hypothalamic aspartate release as well as GABA secretion decrease were observed. Glutamate secretion was not modified. All these changes were accompanied by an advance (3 days) on the vaginal opening in 4-MBC rats group. In conclusion, prenatal administration of 4-MBC disrupts the gonadal axis in a sexual dimorphic mode that could be connected with the physiological sexual differences in the development of gonadotrophin secretion hypothalamic control mechanisms.

Abstract
The aim of the present paper was to study the role of NO as a mediator of leptin action at the hypothalamic level during sexual maturation. First, we analyzed the effect of different leptin concentrations (10 (-13), 10 (-11) and 10 (-9) M) on Gn-RH release from anterior preoptic area and medio basal hypothalamus (APOA-MBH) of prepubertal (15 days old) and peripubertal (30 days old) female rats. Leptin 10 (-13) M was the most effective concentration in releasing Gn-RH in both groups of animals. Since glutamate (GLU) and GABA are involved in the hypothalamic control of Gn-RH neurons and also in the neuroendocrine mechanism of puberty, in a second serie of experiments, we evaluated the effect of a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), N-monomethyl-L-arginine (NMMA) on Gn-RH, GLU and GABA release in response to leptin. Co incubation of APOA-MBH with NMMA 0.5 mM, completely blocked Gn-RH and GLU release induced by leptin 10 (-13) M in prepubertal and peripubertal rats. NMMA also blocked the stimulation of GABA release in prepubertal rats, as well as the inhibition of GABA release induced by leptin in peripubertal rats. It can be proposed that the different effect of NO on GABA release, could be related to ontogenic changes, e.g, maturation of receptors and/or interneuronal connections during sexual development. Present results provide evidence that leptin acts at the hypothalamic level to stimulate NO release, which in turn modifies the release of amino acid neurotransmitters involved in Gn-RH control.

Abstract
This paper presents the physicochemical and nutrimental characterization of fresh nopal (Opuntia ficus indica, Redonda variety) and nopal powder produced at different stages of development. Nopal powder was obtained by dry vacuum technique using 10(2) Torr and low temperature (40 degrees C). The results showed that the nutrimental and mineral composition of nopal changes as a function of the maturation as follow: The ash content increases from 18.41 for nopalitos (60 g of weight) to 23.24% (nopal pads 200 g); calcium content increases from 1.52 to 3.72%, while phosphorous exhibits an opposite trend: 0.43 to 0.27%, respectively. Calcium oxalate was determined by X-ray diffraction and SEM microscopy and quantified by using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Calcium oxalate decreases from 7.95 to 3.47 mg/g and the Ca/P ratio varies from 3.6 to 11. The soluble fibre decreases from 25.22 to 14.91%, while insoluble fibre increases from 29.87 to 41.65%. These results suggest that nopal could be an important source of minerals within the diets of people in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Controversy exists regarding the optimal dose of radioiodine ((131)I) therapy in autoimmune hyperthyroidism (i.e., Graves' Disease). METHODS In order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high dose (131)I therapy in autoimmune hyperthyroidism, a retrospective review of patients who received (131)I therapy for Graves' disease from 1980 to 2000 in the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, Mexico City was carried out. RESULTS The study population consisted of 596 autoimmune hyperthyroid patients with a mean age of 35 years. The mean follow-up period was 10.31 +/- 2.37 years. Remission of hyperthyroidism occurred in 81.9%, persistent hyperthyroidism was recorded in 14.4% and recurrence in 3.7%. (131)I doses of 5-9 mCi (185-333 MBq) and > or =20 mCi (> or =740 MBq) were associated with remission rates of 65.5% and 87.7% respectively. Remission occurred earlier and more often with high doses of (131)I. The high-dose group (20-30 mCi [740-1110 MBq]) had the lowest rate of persistence (9.7, 27.5 and 34.3%, for 20-30 [740-1110 MBq], 10-14 [370-518 MBq] and 5-9 [185-333 MBq] mCi, respectively p <0.05) and hypothyroidism occurred earlier in this group (p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Remission of autoimmune hyperthyroidism is more likely with doses of 20-30 mCi (740-1110 MBq).

Abstract
Both increased lymphocyte renewal with subsequent exhaustion of the immune system and impaired T cell renewal have been put into view to account for CD4+ T cell depletion and development of AIDS in HIV-1- infected humans. Telomerase is an enzyme that is involved in mechanisms that control cell life span and replicative potential. The effect of HIV-1 on telomerase activity, certain regulators, and telomeric terminal restriction fragment length on lymphoid Jurkat cells was used in measuring the proliferative activity of T lymphoid cells before and after being infected. At the cellular level, the enzymatic activity remains almost stable but further analyses of fractionated cells revealed that telomerase activity in the nuclear compartment was diminished whereas in the cytoplasmic compartment it was relatively increased on HIV-1 infection. Two key components of telomerase regulation were further considered at the transcriptional level, that is, the mRNA levels of both human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)--including the relative amount of its alternative splicing variants--and hTR. They were unaffected on HIV-1 infection. Telomeric length was also conserved in infected cells. Overall, these findings demonstrate that HIV-1 infection of Jurkat cells down modulate telomerase activity in the nuclear compartment by affecting its cellular localization.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of treatment with leptin on gonadotrophin secretion and hypothalamic GnRH, excitatory and inhibitory amino acids release, in prepubertal (15 days old) and peripubertal (30 days old) male rats. Rats of both ages received a single (ip) injection of 30 microg/kg leptin 60 minutes previous to sacrifice. Serum LH was determined, and the hypothalamus dissected and incubated in Earle's medium. GnRH and amino acids release were determined in the media. LH and GnRH were measured by RIA. Amino acids were assessed by HPLC-UV detection. In the two prepubertal stages, (prepubertal and peripubertal, 15 and 30 days of age respectively) leptin increased plasmatic LH levels (p < 0.01) and hypothalamic GnRH release (p < 0.01). Glutamate (GLU) release showed an increment in leptin-treated rats (p < 0.01) at both ages, while only the 30 days old rats showed an increment of the aspartate (ASP) release. GABA secretion was not modified by leptin treatment. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that leptin stimulates the LH-GnRH axis during sexual development in male rats, increasing the secretion of both hormones. The hypothalamic excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter system appears to be involved in this change.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to analyse the effect of leptin treatment on the hypothalamic release of GnRH, GABA, and the excitatory amino acids (EAA), aspartate (ASP) and glutamate (GLU) involved in NMDA neurotransmission in prepubertal (15 day old) and peripubertal (30 day old) female rats. The animals were treated with a single dose of leptin (30 microg/kg i.p.) and sacrificed 60 min later. Hypothalamic samples were incubated in Earle's medium; GnRH was determined by RIA and GLU, ASP and GABA by HPLC by UV detection. The hypothalamic release of GnRH was increased by leptin at both ages, the release being significantly higher in peripubertal than in prepubertal rats. The levels of hypothalamic GABA release were different in the two groups; whereas in prepubertal rats the hypothalamic release of GABA increased with leptin administration, the neurotransmitter release decreased in the peripubertal group. On the other hand, the release of ASP was modified only in the peripubertal group, where leptin significantly increased its hypothalamic release. No modifications in leptin-induced hypothalamic release of GLU were observed at the two ages studied. In conclusion, the results showed that leptin increased GnRH release by the hypothalamus of prepubertal and peripubertal rats. In peripubertal rats this increase was accompanied by a significant decrease in the hypothalamic release of GABA as well as an enhanced release of ASP. These results and previous reports suggest that at this stage of sexual maturation, leptin exerts an stimulatory effect on GnRH by inducing release of excitatory amino acids (ASP) and reducing release of inhibitory amino acids (GABA) involved in GnRH control. In prepubertal rats the stimulating effect of the adipocyte hormone on GnRH appears to be related to its stimulative action on GABA which at this age increases GnRH release.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present paper was to determine the sensitivity of the GnRH-LH axis to leptin administration during sexual maturation in female rats. METHODS For this purpose the hypothalamic concentration of GnRH, the pituitary content and the plasmatic levels of LH were determined in prepubertal (15 days of age) and peripubertal female rats (30 days of age), treated with leptin at a dose of 30 microg/kg. i.p. in a single injection, 90 min before sacrifice. RESULTS The results indicate that leptin significantly increased the GnRH concentration at 15 days of age (p <0.01). At 30 days of age the hormone did not significantly modify the hypothalamic GnRH content. Leptin increased the pituitary LH levels, both in prepubertal and peripubertal rats. Nevertheless, while the increase at 15 days of age was around 180%, in peripubertal rats it was about 51,2 %. In spite that leptin significantly increased LH plasmatic levels at both ages (p < 0.01 ), in rats of 15 days of age leptin increased LH in about 244%, at 30 days of age this increase was only about 102%. CONCLUSION These results clearly demonstrated that leptin has stimulatory effect on gonadotrophin axis been higher in prepubertal than in peripubertal rats. On these basis, and on the results of previous papers, (in which it has been demonstrated that the hypothalamic control of gonadotrophins by neurotransmitters and neuromodulators also showed qualitative and quantitative changes during sexual maturation), it is proposed that these differences are connected with the maturation of the neuroendocrine mechanisms involved in the regulatory action of leptin on the gonadotrophins axis.

Abstract
An arterialized skin flap is defined as a flap harvested from the anterior and distal third of the forearm over a venous pathway. It is composed essentially of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and the subdermal plexus of the veins. The flap is perfused at the recipient side by a donor artery at one end and is connected to one or more regional veins at the opposite end. Since it depends on an atypical blood perfusion, leading to edema, epidermolysis, or even some degree of skin necrosis during the immediate postoperative procedure, this skin flap is considered to have a torpid evolution. This article includes some considerations regarding the enhancing of the arterialized skin flap survival, based on our clinical and laboratory experience after its transplantation. The design, construction of its arterial afferent phase, construction of its venous efferent phase, and monitoring are discussed.

Abstract
The authors present 20 microvascular flaps based on arteriovenous perfusion, harvested from the distal anterior forearm, and configured in three different designs. Indications were small palmar, dorsal, and commissural defects, when other conventional procedures were not available; problematic cases of open reduction internal fixation with skin defect; and when aggressive rehabilitation was needed. The follow-up varied between 6 and 28 months. Some degree of vascular congestion was observed in 100 percent of the flaps, and those changes were classified in a progressive form. Coverage was judged as stable, thin, and pliable in 75 percent of the cases in the series; aggressive rehabilitation was started promptly in all cases where this was possible. On average, an additional 2.4 hr were required for the original procedure. This flap demands little technical expertise for any microsurgical surgeon, and does not sacrifice any important donor vessel. The flap should not be followed-up by conventional monitoring methods instead, simple palpation of the pulse, Doppler auscultation, or PPG are required.
