Variants within the FTO gene are important determinants of body mass index (BMI), but their role in determination of BMI changes after combined dietary/physical ac tivity intervention is unclear. We have analyzed 107 unrelated overweight non-diabetic Czech females (BMI over 27.5 kg/m2 , age 49.2±12.3 years). FTO variants rs17817449 (first intron) and rs17818902 (third intron) were genotyped. The life style mo dification program (10 weeks) consisted of an age- matched reduction of energy intake and exercise program (aerobic exercise 4 times a week, 60 min each). The mean BMI before intervention was 32.8±4.2 kg/m2 and the mean achieved weight loss was 4.8±3.5 kg (5.3±3.5 %, max. -15.5 kg, min. +2.0 kg, p<0. 01). No significant association between BMI decrease and FTO variants was found. Also waist-to-hip ratio, body composition (body fat, water, active tissue), lipid parameters (total, LDL and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) glucose and hsCRP change s were independent on FTO variants. FTO variants rs17817449 and rs17818902 are not associated with BMI changes after combined short time dietary/physical activity intervention in overweight females., D. Dlouhá ...

Odpúšťanie patrí medzi psychologické javy, ktorým dlhú dobu nebola venovaná primeraná pozornosť psychologických štúdií. Situácia sa mení s rozmachom aplikovanej pozitívnej psychológie a vzhľadom k tomu je tematika odpúšťania aktuálne vo svete predmetom interdisciplinárneho štúdia. Príspevok poukazuje na potenciál procesu odpustenia ako jednej z intervenčných techník v poradenstve a psychoterapii, ktorého cieľom je zlepšenie psychologického zdravia klienta. Odpustenie môže byť jednou z možností redukcie negatívneho afektívneho aspektu utrpenia psychického zranenia obete. Príspevok najprv poukazuje na podstatu odpustenia v poradenstve a psychoterapii, následne definuje odpustenie vzhľadom na fázy procesu odpustenia a popisuje proces odpustenia podľa R. D. Enrighta. Prezentuje modely procesu odpustenia v poradenstve a psychoterapii s ohľadom na zdravotný aspekt odpúšťania a neodpúšťania. V závere sú uvedené niektoré výsledky výskumov zaoberajúcich sa intervenč- nými programami modelu procesu odpustenia v rámci kvality života človeka, konkrétne jeho fyzického a duševného zdravia. Okrem toho sa príspevok pokúsil naznačiť silné a slabé stránky procesu odpustenia v poradenstve a psychoterapii na základe troch prístupov k odpusteniu v psychoterapii.
