In conclusion, the novel finding of the present study is the association of the mutant type group G1359A and A1359A with a better lipid profile (triglycerides and HDL cholesterol) than the wild-type group. The frequencies of this polymorphism are different among Health Areas of Castilla y Leon (Spain).
Este trabajo parte de la reflexión teórica sobre la necesidad de un cambio en el sistema educativo que apueste por la inclusión, en el que se contemple la igualdad y desigualdad, las tecnologías y el factor relacional, y que ponga en funcionamiento metodologías que permitan dar respuesta a las diferentes necesidades de una población heterogénea. Desde este planteamiento, se formulan unos objetivos dirigidos a conseguir un modelo inclusivo que contemple los valores, las tecnologías y las relaciones interpersonales y se define una metodología teórica, actitudinal y experimental. Para ello, se realiza un proyecto educativo experimental en Educación Primaria que aborda el uso de las tecnologías de la información y los valores sociales. Tomando como eje vertebrador la música, se diseñan todas las actividades con la finalidad de mejorar el clima del aula y centro, así como el respeto y valoración de la diversidad asociada a nacionalidades, minorías, diversidad funcional… entre el alumnado. La evaluación del proyecto ofrece resultados cualitativos y cuantitativos satisfactorios, tanto en la adquisición de contenidos teóricos como en los procedimientos, valores y normas sociales, lo que permite concluir sobre la necesidad de establecer un modelo de Educación inclusiva donde tenga cabida todo el alumnado.
Background: A transition of guanin to alanin at codon 54 of the fatty acid-binding protein 2 gene (FABP2) results in an amino acid substitution (Ala54 to Thr54). This polymorphism was associated with some cardiovascular risk factors. Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of the Thr54 polymorphism in the FABP2 gene on obesity anthropometric parameters and cardiovascular risk factors in the fasted state in obese subjects and the allelic distribution of this polymorphism in a geographic area of Spain. Design: A population of 264 obese subjects was analyzed in a cross-sectional study from all health centers of Castilla y Leon (Spain). A nutritional and biochemical evaluation was performed. The statistical analysis was performed for the combined Ala54/Thr54 and Thr54/Thr54 genotype as a dominant model. Results: The mean age was 41.1 ± 13.1 years and the mean BMI 36.5 ± 5.9, with 94 males (35.6%) and 170 females (74.4%). One hundred and fifty-three subjects (58%) had the genotype Ala54/Ala54 (wild-type group) and 111 (42%) participants had the genotype Ala54/Thr54 (n = 92, 34.8%) or Thr54/Thr54 (n = 19, 7.2%) (mutant-type group). The health area of Valladolid had a lower frequency of wild-type genotype and Ala54 allelic frequency than all the other health areas of Castilla y Leon. C-reactive protein was higher in the mutant-type than the wild-type group (3.4 ± 5.6 vs. 7.9 ± 10.4 mg/dl; p < 0.05). Conclusion: The finding of this study is the association of the Thr54/Ala54 and Thr54/Thr54 FABP2 phenotypes with higher levels of C-reactive protein without relation to insulin resistance. Frequencies of this polymorphism are different among health areas of Castilla y Leon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
