    Abstract Participants from across the age span participate in water fitness sessions. This challenges instructors to create proper exercise prescriptions. The aim of this study was to understand the effect of age on force production and symmetry during water exercises. Twenty-six women were categorized into two groups: (i) young adult ( n = 13; 23.61 ± 1.15 years) and (ii) older ( n = 13; 67.38 ± 3.48 years). Women performed a horizontal upper limbs adduction during an incremental protocol comprising four music cadences increased every 30 s (105, 120, 135, and 150 b∙min −1 ). A differential pressure system composed of two sensors was used to measure the in-water force and to estimate the symmetry index. Young adults showed higher in-water forces (43–67 N) when compared with their older counterparts (31–55 N). No differences were observed between groups for the symmetry index. The cadences of 105–120 and 120–135 lead to different in-water force of the dominant limb in both groups, while the force of the non-dominant limb showed mix-findings. In conclusion, water fitness instructors should be aware that the same music cadence may trigger different kinetic behaviors in different ages, but without impairing symmetry when exercising at 120–135 b∙min −1 .

    Abstract Background: A fall in blood pressure (BP) following a meal is well known and is usually a transient phenomenon, due to appropriate cardiovascular adjustments. Older individuals and those with high BP experience a greater postprandial fall that can manifest as postprandial hypotension (PPH). Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is positively associated with BP, and is known to increase after meal ingestion. We explored whether fasting FGF21 or its postprandial change would be associated with meal induced BP change, after accounting for several covariates.
    Methods: Eighty-three Western Australian adults were studied. Supine resting BP was recorded and an oral glucose test was administered. Serial measurements of systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) were then made in duplicate every 30 min up to 120 min. Fasting and 120 min blood samples were analysed for FGF21 and clinical chemistry. Multiple linear regression analyses of the incremental area under curve of postprandial SBP and DBP was conducted on 12 known determinants.
    Results: The final parsimonious model based on backward regression of postprandial SBP included fasting SBP, gender, fasting insulin and fasting FGF21 (β = -0.009 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.017, -0.002, P = 0.015)). For postprandial DBP these included fasting DBP, gender, fasting glucose, fasting insulin and fasting FGF21 (β = -0.005; 95% CI: 0.010, -0.001, P = 0.021).
    Conclusions: A higher fasting FGF21, independent of glucose and insulin, was associated with a greater postprandial decline in SBP and in DBP.

    Abstract Many personal care products integrate UV-filters, such as 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC), a compound frequently detected in aquatic habitats, including coastal areas. However, the potential effects of 4-MBC to saltwater species have been poorly studied. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to study the effects of 4-MBC exposure on Solea senegalensis during metamorphosis, a sensitive life stage of this flatfish. To achieve this, fish were exposed to 4-MBC (0.2-2.0 mg L

    Abstract Background and aims: We determined whether individual components of metabolic syndrome (MetS) mediated the direct association of vitamin D status (25OHD) on resting energy expenditure (REE).
    Methods: Multiple linear regression determined predictors of REE from data on 180 men and women from two ethnic groups. We then modelled a mediation pathway through components of MetS on the direct association between 25OHD and REE. The mediation modelling used the PROCESS SPSS Macro (version 4.0) based on 5000 bootstrapped samples, with the adjustment for different sets of covariates.
    Results: REE was significantly predicted by age, fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM), ethnicity, inverse ln insulin, 25OHD, triglycerides (TG), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and, to some extent, by time of REE measurements (p < 0.094). Adjustment for all these covariates, resulted in a negative indirect mediation effect of TG [β coefficient (bootstrapped SE): 0.95 (0.519); bootstrapped 95% CI: 2.172, -0.165; p < 0.05] and a concurrent negative mediation of SBP [β coefficient (bootstrapped SE): 0.72(0.484); bootstrapped 95% CI: 1.851, -0.011; p < 0.05]. There remained a positive direct pathway from 25OHD to REE [β coefficient (S.E): 4.715 (2.129); p = 0.028], however the total effect of 25OHD was dampened [β coefficient (S.E): 3.04 (2.126); p = 0.154].
    Conclusions: Independent of insulin sensitivity, a negative mediation by TG and SBP dampened the overall effect of 25OHD on REE.

    Abstract Background: The role of vitamin D in human energy expenditure requires confirmation. We explored whether insulin sensitivity (IS)/insulin resistance (IR) mediated the association of vitamin D status (25OHD) on resting energy expenditure (REE).
    Methods: REE, body composition (by DEXA) and clinical biochemistry of 155 Australian men and women were collated. A hypothesized mediation pathway through IS/IR on the direct association between 25OHD and REE was modeled, using three surrogate indices of IS/IR: McAuley's insulin sensitivity index (McA), Quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) and triglyceride to glucose ratio (TYG). The modeling was performed on PROCESS SPSS Macro (version 4.0) based on 5000 bootstrapped samples, with and without the adjustment for covariates.
    Results: Unadjusted models indicated a sizeable negative mediation by all IS/IR indices but no significant direct effect of 25OHD on REE. On adjustment for covariates, a negative indirect mediation effect of McA [β coefficient (SE) -2.1(0.821); bootstrapped 95% CI:-3.934, -0.703; p < 0.05] and a similar negative mediation of TYG [-1.935 (0.780); bootstrapped 95% CI: (-3.679, -0.622; p < 0.05] was observed. These models also showed a positive direct effect of 25OHD on REE. In contrast, QUICKI made a smaller contribution to the total effect though in the same direction as the other two measures [-0.783 (0.534); bootstrapped 95% CI: (-1.939, 0.134; P > 0.05].
    Conclusions: A sizeable, partial, negative mediation of IS/IR on the direct relationship between 25OHD and REE, dampened the total effect of vitamin D on REE. Validation of the proposed causal framework would clarify vitamin D's role in human energy metabolism.
