Motivations intake were also ascertained. A total 886 undergraduates aged 18−25 years from...

Exposure to mercury is known increase cardiovascular risk but the underlying mechanisms are not well explored. We analysed whether chronic exposure low doses affects endothelial modulation of coronary circulation.Left arteries and hearts from Wistar rats treated with either HgCl(2) (first dose 4.6 µg·kg(-1) , subsequent 0.07 day(-1) 30 days) or vehicle were used. Endothelial cells pig incubated also used.Mercury treatment increased 5-HT-induced vasoconstriction reduced acetylcholine-induced...

Low-grade chronic inflammation is associated with many diseases and pathological conditions. The aim of the present study was to determine effect regular caffeine intake, physical activity levels, sedentary behavior on inflammatory status in healthy participants. In total, 112 men 132 women aged 18 55 years belonging staff student population University Balearic Islands volunteered participate this descriptive cross-sectional study. Plasma concentrations pro-inflammatory anti-inflammatory...

The aim of the study was to determine influence exercise duration on changes in salivary stress markers response ultra-endurance exercises. developed 2 tests: Ultra-trail Serra de Tramuntana (UTST), a 104 km ultra-marathon competition (n = 64) and 25 Cabrera Open Water Race (COWR) 43). Participants COWR completed at constant pace 3 km/h (3K group) or 2.5 /h (2.5K group). Saliva samples were taken before after Salivary flow rate as well cortisol, testosterone, C-reactive protein (CRP),...

This study compared the response of interleukin (IL)-10, and also IL-6 IL-12 p40, to exercise caffeine supplementation between plasma blood mononuclear cells (BMNCs). Participants in (n = 28) were randomly allocated a double-blind fashion either 14) or placebo treatments. One hour before completing 15-km run competition, athletes took 6 mg/kg body mass placebo. Plasma BMNCs purified from samples taken after competition. Concentrations interleukins (IL-10, IL-6, p40), cyclic adenosine...

Mononuclear cell accumulation is of major importance in maintaining chronic inflammatory conditions. In an effort to model this phenomenon, 0.3 ml a 1% carrageenan solution was injected into the pleural cavity rats; at various times thereafter peripheral blood and exudate samples were collected. Seventy-two hours after injection, 82.3 +/- 3.7 x 10(6) cells (N = 6; mean S.E.) present cavity; over 80% these macrophages as determined by morphologic histochemical criteria. Animals treated with...

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the prevalence non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) consumption immediately before, during after three mountain ultra-endurance runs that differed in their course distance. This observational took place at Ultra Mallorca Serra de Tramuntana (Mallorca, Spain), an event with runners participating either a 112-km (Ultra, n = 58), 67-km (Trail, 118) or 44-km (Marathon, 62) run competition. Participants answered, within hour finishing...

Background An acute bout of exercise induces an inflammatory response characterized by increases in several cytokines. Caffeine ingestion could modify this response. The aim study was to determine the effects caffeine supplementation on plasma levels cytokines, mainly IL-10 and IL-6, exercise.Methods In a randomized, crossover, double-blinded design, thirteen healthy, well-trained recreational male athletes performed, two different occasions, treadmill test (60 min at 70% VO2max) after...

The aim of this study was to determine whether the highest vitamin C supplementation associated with complete bioavailability influences plasma and blood mononuclear cell IL-6 IL-10 response exercise. A double-blinded performed. After 15 days (500 mg · day−1, n = 16) or a placebo (n 15), participants in completed 15-km run competition. Blood samples were taken before after Oxidative stress markers, antioxidants, cortisol, determined serum. protein mRNA levels measured cells. Although higher...

Structure-activity analysis of 21 aporphine derivatives was performed by examining their affinities for cloned human α1A, α1B and α1D adrenoceptors (AR) using membranes prepared from rat-1 fibroblasts stably expressing each α1-AR subtype. All the compounds tested competed [125 I]-HEAT binding with steep monophasic curves. The most interesting compound 8-NH2-boldine, which retains selective affinity α 1A-AR (pKi = 6.37 ± 0.21) vs. 1B-AR 5.53 0.11) exhibited 1,2,9,10-tetraoxygenated...
