Physical exercise is known to promote beneficial effects on overall health, counteracting risks related degenerative diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short non-coding RNAs affecting the expression of a cell’s transcriptome, can be modulated by different stimuli. Yet, molecular osteogenic differentiation triggered miRNAs upon physical are not completely understood. In this study, we recruited 20 male amateur runners participating in half marathon. Runners’ sera, collected before (PRE RUN) and...
Little is known about the relationship between hemoglobin concentrations, functional status and health related quality of life (HRQL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Our aim was to investigate prevalence anemia association with shortness breath, exercise capacity, muscle strength HRQL, COPD patients. A total 105 patients (77 males, 71.6 ± 9.2 years) were studied. Patients classified as anemic non using WHO criteria. We used Medical Research Council Dyspnoea scale (MRCs)...
Lack of physical exercise is considered an important risk factor for chronic diseases. On the contrary, reduces morbidity rates obesity, diabetes, bone disease, and hypertension. In order to gain novel molecular cellular clues, we analyzed effects on differentiation mesenchymal circulating progenitor cells (M-CPCs) obtained from runners. We also investigated autophagy telomerase-related gene expression evaluate involvement specific functions in process. performed analyses M-CPCs, by a...
Objective The aim was to evaluate the effect of a home‐based exercise program on functional capacity, health‐related quality life (HRQoL), and disability, in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods A 6‐month randomized controlled trial conducted SSc by comparing minimally supervised (exercise stationary cycle strengthening upper limbs; stretching hands) usual care. At baseline after 3 6 months, underwent: minutes walking test; hand mobility scleroderma maximal test an ergocycle;...
Background: The research was conducted in the frame of a population-based, case control study, called Genes Environment Interaction Respiratory Disease. Objective: To assess association between protein intake and physical performance general population sample. Design: Researchers investigated participants' dietary information their using 6-min walking test distance walked metres (6MWD) as main outcome measure. Information on collected validated European Investigation into Cancer Nutrition...
