Background/Aims: This study aimed to identify a possible association among high birth weight with overweight/obesity, high arterial blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance in children and adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 719 children and adolescents (6–12 years) stratified according to birth weight (low birth weight [LBW] <2,500 g, adequate birth weight [ABW] 2,500–3,999 g, and high birth weight [HBW] ≥4,000 g). Data collected were anthropometric data, arterial blood pressure levels, lipid profile, and insulin resistance (fasting glucose and insulin, used to calculate homeostatic model assessment-IR). Results: The mean age of schoolchildren was 9.5 ± 2.0 years and 371 (51.6%) were male. LBW and HBW were observed in 79 of 719 (10.9%) and 40 of 719 (55.6%) children/adolescents, respectively. There was no increased risk of overweight (OR 0.9; 95% CI 0.4–2.1; p = 0.964) and obesity (OR 1.4; 95% CI 0.6–3.5; p = 0.588) in HBW group compared to LBW and ABW groups. HBW was not associated with high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance. The LBW group was independently associated with higher values of systolic (OR 1.07; 95% CI 1.05–1.10; p < 0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (OR 1.04; 95% CI 1.00–1.07; p = 0.044). Conclusion: There was no association between HBW with overweight/obesity and classic cardiovascular risk factors in this group of children/adolescents. Only LBW was related to higher blood pressure levels.

The article analyses the time-dependent adaptation of arterial blood pressure with reference to load value, age and gender. Three male and female groups of different age were investigated applying load from 50 W to 150 W. Veloergometer “Kettler” and computerized “Siemens” and SpaceLabs Medical” data recording systems were used during investigation. Variations in arterial blood pressure having established load within changing time period were recorded. It was discovered that along with changes in load from 50 W to 150 W, arterial blood pressure in male groups of different age increased approximately 1,2 times and adaptation time prolonged 2,9 times. In female groups of different age, arterial blood pressure increased approximately 1,3 times and adaptation time prolonged 2,6 times. It was acknowledged that the longer was adaptation time and the larger was an increase in arterial blood pressure, the more complicated was adaptation to the load.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is associated with serotonin (5-HT) neuron abnormalities. There is evidence of autonomic dysfunction during sleep in infants eventually succumbing to SIDS, as well as cardiovascular collapse before death. Neonatal rodents deficient in central 5-HT display hypotension and bradycardia. We hypothesized that central 5-HT reduces cardiac vagal tone and increases sympathetic vascular tone and, given the firing pattern of 5-HT neurons, that these effects are greater in quiet sleep (QS) than in active sleep (AS). We tested these hypotheses using 2-wk-old male and female rat pups lacking tryptophan hydroxylase-2 ( TPH2−/−) and wild-type (WT) littermates. Arterial blood pressure (ABP) and heart rate (HR) were measured over 3 h during periods of QS and AS. We also gave atropine or atenolol (each 1 mg/kg iv), or phentolamine (5, 50, and 500 μg/kg iv) to separate groups to assess the effects 5-HT deficiency on autonomic tone to the heart or sympathetic vascular tone, respectively. Compared with WT, male and female TPH2−/− pups had reduced ABP in QS but not in AS. Atropine induced a greater HR increase in female TPH2−/− than in female WT pups, an effect absent in male TPH2−/− pups. Both genotypes experienced the same atenolol-induced drop in HR. In males only, phentolamine induced a smaller decrease in the ABP of TPH2−/− pups compared with WT. These data suggest that central 5-HT maintains ABP in QS, and HR in both states. In males, central 5-HT facilitates sympathetic vascular tone, and in females it reduces cardiac vagal drive.
