The purposes of this study were: 1) investigate whether different markers of infl ammation (CRP and TNF-alpha) are correlated to cardiorespiratory fi tness in adolescents with obesity; 2) examine the association of these variables when adjusted by parameters of body composition. Were selected 57 individuals, 34 girls and 23 boys, with 16.4±1.56 years and body mass index 36.0±4.3 kg/m2. Anthropometric measurements (weight, height and abdominal circunference) and body composition (BMI, visceral fat, body fat) were assessment. Body composition was estimated by analyzer of tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance. Obesity was defi ned as BMI>95th percentile of the curve proposed by the Center for Diseases Control. Plasma TNF-alpha was measured by a quantitative two-site high-sensitivity enzyme immunoassay and CRP was measured by high-sensitivityimmunoturbidimetric assay. Graded maximal exercise testing was performed to obtain the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) and velocity associated with the VO2max (vVO2max). Signifi cant correlations of CRP with VO2max and vVO2max were found (r=-0.40 and r=-0,36, respectively). No correlations were observed between TNF-alpha and VO2max e vVO2max. CRP was associated to the VO2max and vVO2max independently of measurements of body composition. The CRP was independently and inversely associated with direct measurement of VO2max and the indirect variable of cardiorespiratory fitness vVO2max, in obese adolescents, even after adjustments in body composition, a potential confounding factor. No association was found between TNF-alpha and the parameters of cardiorespiratory fitness.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most frequent complications associated with excess adiposity. Its pathogenesis is complex and there are multiple factors that may contribute to it. AIM: To analyze whether cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), waist circumference (WC), and C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in children with obesity. METHODS: 79 overweight/obese children of both genders, 11–13 year-olds, with abnormal serum ALT from Porto public schools comprised the sample. Measurements included CRF (20-m Shuttle Run Test), WC (NHANES protocol), CRP and ALT (Cholestech LDX analyzer). Logistic regression adjusted for gender, maturation, and weight with ALT levels as dependent variable (risk vs. non risk), and WC (risk vs. non risk), CRP (risk vs. non risk), and CRF (fit vs. unfit) as independent variables. Level of significance was set at 95%. RESULTS: Logistic regression showed that obese fit children were less likely to have abnormal ALT values (OR=.031) CONCLUSION: In obese children, higher cardiovascular fitness appears to reduce the chance of decreased liver function.
