Effect of Ravenala madagascariensis Sonnerat (Strelitziaceae) Administration During Pregnancy on Fetal Growth and Development
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of administering an ethanolic extract from the leaves of Ravenala madagascariensis Sonnerat (Strelitziaceae) on fetal growth and development during gestation in Wistar rats, through external, skeletal, and visceral morphological analyses. Pregnant rats were divided into two groups (n=10 per group): a control group (water) and a treatment group (dry ethanolic extract of R. madagascariensis, 4…
Influencia de variables genéticas y socio-ambientales en el exceso de peso en una muestra de la población de Puerto Madryn, Argentina
En Argentina, el exceso de peso aumentó continuamente desde el 2005 hasta el presente. Los factores con probada relación con el exceso de peso son socio-ambientales y genéticos. Entre estos últimos, el gen FTO es el más estudiado. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la relación entre dos marcadores del gen FTO (rs9939609 y rs11075997) y variables socio-ambientales con el estado nutricional en una muestra de 155 personas de Puerto Madryn, Chu…
Cambios de forma y tamaño en el cráneo humano
Evaluamos diferentes subregiones del cráneo para detectar si los cambios en la consistencia de los alimentos producen un efecto en la variación de tamaño y forma. Se analizaron tres transiciones económicas poblacionales y tres poblaciones no transicionales. Se digitalizaron noventa coordenadas de landmarks en 3D en una muestra de 459 cráneos y se analizaron mediante morfometría geométrica. Adicionalmente se estimo la fuerza de mordida para cada g…
Body shape
OBJECTIVES: The diagnosis and treatment of obesity are usually based on traditional anthropometric variables including weight, height, and several body perimeters. Here we present a three-dimensional (3D) image-based computational approach aimed to capture the distribution of abdominal adipose tissue as an aspect of shape rather than a relationship among classical anthropometric measures. METHODS: A morphometric approach based on landmarks and se…
Origen étnico y ancestría genética, ¿qué lugar tienen en la práctica médica en Argentina
La investigación biomédica está contemplando cada vez más la ancestría genética de las poblaciones, con vistas a potenciales aplicaciones en la prevención sanitaria y en el tratamiento de dolencias población- específicas. Los objetivos fueron indagar sobre la formación en genética, universitaria y posuniversitaria, de médicos/as del país, y relacionarlo con la manera de abordar conceptos de genética médica poblacional en la práctica clínica. Se e…
The first human settlement of the New World
Shifts in subsistence type and its impact on the human skull's morphological integration
OBJECTIVE: Here we evaluate morphological integration patterns and magnitudes in different skull regions to detect if shifts in morphological integration are correlated to the appearance of more processed (softer) diets. METHODS: To do so, three transitional populations were analyzed, including samples from groups that inhabited the same geographical region and for which the evidence shows that major changes occurred in their subsistence mode. Ni…
Bite force estimates and its relationship with characteristics of diet
La fuerza de mordida (FM) es un parámetro biomecánico que indica la cantidad de fuerza que se aplica durante la masticación de un determinado tipo de alimento. En este trabajo se compararon las FM de seis poblaciones de humanos modernos que difieren en las características de sus dietas. A partir de fotografías de la base del cráneo se digitalizaron puntos morfológicos que determinan la forma de los músculos masticadores y permiten las estimacione…
Evaluating microevolutionary models for the early settlement of the New World
Different scenarios attempting to describe the initial phases of the human dispersal from Asia into the New World have been proposed during the last two decades. However, some aspects concerning the population affinities among early and modern Asians and Native Americans remain controversial. Specifically, contradictory views based mainly on partial evidence such as skull morphology or molecular genetics have led to hypotheses such as the "Two Wa…
The influence of masticatory loading on craniofacial morphology
Masticatory loading is one of the main environmental stimuli that generate craniofacial variation among recent humans. Experimental studies on a wide variety of mammals, including those with retrognathic postcanine teeth, predict that responses to masticatory loading will be greater in the occlusal plane, the inferior rostrum, and regions associated with the attachments of the temporalis and masseter muscles. Here we test these experimentally‐der…
