Strategies to enhance weight loss with a high fat-to-lean ratio in overweight/obese older adults are important since lean could exacerbate sarcopenia. We examined how dietary protein distribution affected muscle synthesis during energy balance (EB), restriction (ER), and plus resistance training (ER + RT). A 4-wk ER diet was provided men (66 ± 4 yr, 31 5 kg/m 2 ) who were randomized either balanced (BAL: 25% daily protein/meal × 4) or skewed (SKEW: 7:17:72:4% protein/meal; n = 10/group)...
Key points Strategies to enhance the loss of fat while preserving muscle mass during energy restriction are great importance prevent sarcopenia in overweight older adults. We show for first time that integrated rate synthesis numerous individual contractile, cytosolic and mitochondrial skeletal proteins was increased by resistance training (RT) unaffected dietary protein intake pattern free‐living, obese men. observed a correlation between synthetic rates muscle‐derived obtained serum...
Leucine-enriched protein (LEU-PRO) and long-chain (LC) n-3 (ω-3) PUFAs have each been proposed to improve muscle mass function in older adults, whereas their combination may be more effective than either alone.The impact of LEU-PRO supplementation alone combined with LC on appendicular lean mass, strength, physical performance myofibrillar synthesis (MyoPS) was investigated adults at risk sarcopenia.This 24-wk, 3-arm parallel, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted 107...
Observations of neutral winds from visible trails gun-launched vehicles and radio soundings the ionospheric sporadic E layers are described compared. It is shown that wind structure accounts for many features layer variation on two nights observation, through vertical ion convergence mechanism most recently by MacLeod [1966]. Except some transient disagreements, found to accompany height certain levels zero velocity induced wind. The peak electron number density diminishes when leads...
Sarcopenic obesity is characterised by the double burden of diminished skeletal muscle mass and presence excess adiposity. From a mechanistic perspective, both sarcopenia are associated with sub-acute, chronic pro-inflammatory states that impede metabolic processes, disrupting adipose functionality, which may potentiate disease. Recent evidence suggests there an important cross-talk between metabolism inflammation, has shifted focus upon metabolic-inflammation as key emerging biological...
To study stress resistance mechanisms in Campylobacter spp.Campylobacter strains were grown to the appropriate phase Brucella broth. The cells diluted into either cell-free spent medium (obtained by filtration of a culture) or freshly prepared and pH reduced 4.5, lethal value. At suitable time intervals survivors enumerated on blood free selective agar base. from mid-exponential stationary had protective effect acid thermal jejuni CI 120, natural isolate. extracellular compound was not...
Lloyd and Brown have shown that constant horizontal vertical side forces moments applied to a spinning projectile can result in dynamic instability. This instability arises from the nonlinear terms fixedplane coordinate system spin appear equations of motion. By use fixed-plane (rather than Brown's nonrolling system) simpler relations be developed, full effects gravity, drag roll damping obtained, limitation large gyroscopic stability factors removed. Very simple bounds are given for finned...
Abstract Population ageing is a global phenomenon. It regarded as major cause of upward pressure on healthcare costs. One the greatest threats to healthy, independent sarcopenia, progressive loss skeletal muscle mass and function with age. Physical inactivity poor nutrition represent crucial imminently modifiable risk factors for sarcopenia. Resistance exercise training most effective method improving in older adults. Evidence indicates that resistance training‐induced improvements mass,...
The inductive electric field produced by a time‐dependent magnetotail current system is investigated using simple model. model used in these calculations ‘theta’ representation consisting of flat sheet flowing westward to represent the neutral and return currents eastward on boundary tail. Assuming realistic parameters for dimensions strength linear variation during times magnetic activity, it found that predominantly east‐west direction, fairly uniform over large range antisolar directions....
