Resumo Fundamentos: A importância da validação científica de técnicas coadjuvantes a diversos tratamentos de saúde é inquestionável. Desta forma, a influência da drenagem linfática manual (DLM) na natriurese e na lipólise sob interação de anticoncepcional oral precisa ser investigada. Objetivos: Avaliar o efeito agudo da DLM sobre a natriurese e lipólise de mulheres jovens usuárias ou não de anticoncepcional oral. Método: Participaram 29 mulheres não usuárias de anticoncepcional oral e 29 usuárias, autodeclaradas saudáveis, sedentárias e eutróficas. As análises foram realizadas em dois dias distintos, Controle (C), sem intervenção terapêutica e DLM. Nos dias C e DLM coletamos 4 amostras de urina com intervalos de 60 min. Seguimos o método de Leduc, abdomem e membros inferiores, durante 45 min. Analisamos o fluxo urinário e excreção urinária de sódio, glicerol e peptideo natriurético atrial. A normalidade dos dados foi analisada pelo teste Shapiro-Wilk. Os dados que não obedeceram à normalidade foram apresentados em mediana e intervalo interquartil (25%-75%), enquanto os que obedeceram foram apresentados em média ± erro padrão. O teste de Mann-Whitney foi usado para dados não pareados e Wilcoxon para dados pareados. Dados com normalidade foram avaliados pelo teste t-Student não pareado. O nível de significância estatística adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: O efeito agudo de uma sessão de DLM promove aumento da natriurese em mulheres não usuárias de anticoncepcional oral, por outro lado, em usuárias induz aumento na liberação de glicerol e de ANP. Conclusão: O uso de anticoncepcional oral interfere no efeito da DLM sobre a natriurese.

Abstract Background: The importance of scientific validation of supporting techniques to various treatments is unquestionable. In this context, the influence of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on natriuresis and lipolysis and its interaction with oral contraceptives still need to be investigated. Objectives: To evaluate the acute effect of MLD on natriuresis and lipolysis in young women using or not oral contraceptives. Methods: Twenty-nine non-users of oral contraceptives and 29 oral contraceptive users, self-reported healthy, sedentary, normal weight women were enrolled. Analyses were conducted on two different days - control (C), without therapeutic intervention and MLD day. Four urine samples were collected at 60-minute intervals. MLD was performed in lower limbs and abdomen for 45 min following the Leduc method. Urinary flow rate and urinary sodium, glycerol and atrial natriuretic peptide excretion were analyzed. Data normality was tested by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Data without normal distribution were expressed as median and interquartile range (25%-75%), while normally distributed data were expressed as mean ± standard error. Mann-Whitney test was used for unpaired data and Wilcoxon test for paired data. Data with normal distribution were evaluated by the unpaired t-Student test. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Results: One MLD session had an acute effect on both groups, increasing natriuresis in non-users of oral contraceptives and glycerol and atrial natriuretic peptide excretion in oral contraceptive users. Conclusion: Oral contraceptives influence the effect of MLD on natriuresis.

RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar a composição corporal e o perfil metabólico de indivíduos com diferentes concentrações de vitamina D sérica, da deficiência à normalidade. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 106 indivíduos adultos, de ambos os sexos, divididos em três grupos de acordo com as concentrações de vitamina D: deficiência: <20ng/mL; insuficiência: 20-29,9ng/mL e suficiência: 30-100ng/mL. A avaliação antropométrica incluiu peso, altura e circunferências. Massa gorda e massa magra foram avaliadas pelo teste de bioimpedância tetrapolar. Também foram realizadas avaliação clínica e bioquímica. A resistência à insulina foi calculada pelo índice Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin. Resultados: A análise apontou que as principais alterações dos indivíduos com deficiência de vitamina D foram valores elevados de triglicérides, lipoproteína de muito baixa densidade - colesterol, glicemia de jejum, insulina, hemoglobina glicada, índice de massa corporal, porcentagem de gordura corporal, porcentagem de massa magra, circunferência da cintura e Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin quando comparados ao grupo Suficiência vitamina D (p<0,05). Conclusão: Observou-se que na deficiência da vitamina D ocorrem importantes alterações tanto no metabolismo como na composição corporal, essas alterações podem contribuir para o surgimento de doenças como diabetes Mellitus e síndrome metabólica.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the body composition and metabolic profile in individuals in terms of different concentrations of serum vitamin D, ranging from deficiency to sufficiency. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 106 adults of both genders, who were divided into three groups according to vitamin D levels: deficiency: <20ng/mL; insufficiency: 20-29.9ng/mL; and sufficiency: 30-100ng/mL. Anthropometric evaluation included weight, height, and body circumferences. Fat mass and lean mass were assessed using the Tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance method. Clinical and biochemical evaluations were also carried out. Insulin resistance was estimated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin index. Results: The analysis showed that the main alterations in individuals in the vitamin D deficiency group were higher triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein - cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, insulin, glycated hemoglobin, body mass index, body fat percentage, lean mass percentage, waist circumference, and Homeostasis Model Assessment Insulin than those of the vitamin D sufficient group (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was found that vitamin D deficiency causes important body composition and metabolic changes, which may lead to diseases such as diabetes Mellitus and metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate for 12 months the changes of body weight using Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) and if these changes are related to inflammatory markers. Subjects and methods Twenty women of childbearing age who chose the DMPA, without previous use of this method, BMI < 30 kg/m2, and 17 women using IUD TCu 380A, participated in the study. At the baseline and after one year, changes in weight gain, body composition by the bioimpedance electric method, resting energy expenditure (REE) by the indirect calorimetry method, inflammatory markers and HOMA-IR were assessed. Results After 12 months of evaluation, we could observe a significant increase in the DMPA group in weight (3,01 kg) and BMI, while the IUD group’s only significant increase was observed in the BMI. Relative to REE there was an increase of basal metabolic rate (BMR) in both groups after one year. The sub-group DMPA that gained < 3 kg had increased significant weight, BMI and body surface (BS) with respiratory quotient (RQ) reduction, while the sub-group that gained ≥ 3 kg had a significant increase in weight, BMI, BS, fat-free mass, fat mass, BMR, Leptin, HOMA-IR and waist circumference, with RQ significantly reduced. Conclusion Our study found significant changes in weight, body composition and metabolic profile of the population studied in the first 12 months of contraceptive use. These changes mainly increased body weight, leptin levels and HOMA-IR which can contribute to the development of some chronic complications, including obesity, insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus.
