Background/Objectives: The global prevalence of mental health disorders, particularly anxiety and depression, has increased significantly, with rates further elevated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Conventional pharmacological treatments, while effective, often lead to side effects that can impact patient adherence quality life. This driven interest in safer, natural adjunctive therapies. Crocus sativus L. (Iridaceae) (saffron) Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Lamiaceae) (scutellaria) have...
A saffron extract has been found to be effective in the context of depression and anxiety, but its effect on sleep quality not investigating yet using objective approaches. For this purpose, a randomized double-blind controlled study was conducted subjects presenting mild moderate disorder associated with anxiety. Sixty-six were supplemented placebo (maltodextrin) or (15.5 mg per day) for 6 weeks. Actigraphy used collect data related at baseline, middle end intervention. Sleep also assessed...
Background/objectives: Chronic stress is a pervasive issue affecting individuals worldwide, with profound implications for mental and physical well-being. Panax ginseng, widely used herbal supplement renowned its adaptogenic properties, hypothesized to alleviate some effects. This study aims evaluate the impact of hydroponically grown Red ginseng root powder high level rare ginsenosides supplementation on perceived levels, as well emotional cognitive abilities moderately stressed...
Abstract Background and Objectives Most research studies on the effects of repeated plasma donation are observational with different study limitations, resulting in high uncertainty link between health consequences. Here, we prospectively investigated safety intensive or less protocols. Materials Methods Sixty‐three male subjects participated this randomized controlled trial were divided into low‐frequency (LF, once/month, n = 16), high‐frequency (HF, three times/month, very (VHF, two...
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study was to compare the physiological adaptations males and females repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH). Methods Active completed 7 wk normoxia (RSN; F i O 2 = 0.209, males: n 11, females: 8) or RSH (F 0.146, 12, 10). Before (Pre-) after (Post-) training, a ability (RSA) test performed (10-s cycle sprints with 20-s recovery between sprints, until exhaustion), aerobic anaerobic qualities were evaluated normoxia. Results number during RSA increased HYP...
ABSTRACT Objectives To collect data on 1) haematological and biochemical markers, 2) physiological exercise-related parameters 3) adverse events to get a comprehensive picture of the safety intensive or less plasma donation protocols. Methods Sixty-three male subjects participated in this randomized controlled trial were divided into low-frequency (LF, 1x/month, n=16), high-frequency (HF, 3x/month, very (VHF, 2x/week, n=16) placebo (P, n=15) group. Biochemical, haematological, clinical,...
Malnutrition is a highly prevalent condition in older adults. It associated with low muscle mass and function increased occurrence of health problems. Maintaining an adequate nutritional status as well sufficient nutrient intake people therefore essential to address this public problem. For purpose, protein supplementation known prevent the loss during aging, consumption various pomegranate extracts induces numerous benefits, mainly through their antioxidant properties. However, our...
