Bovine milk proteins have emerged as a novel, dairy-based source of dietary antioxidants and component nutritional strategy to maintain muscle mass during ageing. The aim this study was characterise the in vitro antioxidant capacity (AOC) milk-based protein matrix (MPM) before after simulated gastrointestinal digestion (SGID) determine whether plasma AOC similarly modified vivo following acute ingestion MPM healthy 50–70 years old women. To achieve this, measured by oxygen radical absorbance...
Objective To determine whether 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associate with ALS in 3 different populations. We also assessed the contribution of genotype to angiogenin levels plasma and CSF. Methods Allelic association statistics were calculated for ANG gene 859 patients 1047 controls from Sweden, Ireland Poland. Plasma, serum CSF quantified stratified according genotypes across gene. The SNP variance circulating was estimated controls. Results All SNPs showed Irish group....
Gaelic Football and Hurling are two sporting codes within the Athletic Association. The purpose of this study was to report body composition phenotype inter-county athletic association players, comparing groups by code field position. 190 senior, male, outfield players (144 hurlers 46 footballers) were recruited. Stature mass measured, estimates three components composition, i.e. lean mass, fat bone mineral content obtained dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), normative data for athletes...
Swimming, running and cycling are among the most popular fastest growing sports in world. Inherent these is a desire to favorably alter body composition. Here we report ~5.4 kg ~5.3 fat tissue mass (FTM) loss two separate interventions (12-16 weeks), same athlete, separated by 5 years. Whole composition was assessed using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Dietary analysis for intervention 2 completed Mc Cance Widdowson's of foods. In 2010, male athlete (23 years, weight 85 kg, height 195 cm,...
Longitudinal change in body composition for elite-level inter-county hurlers was reported over a single season and four consecutive seasons. Body measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of 66 senior, male, outfield players obtained. Four successive measurements were taken: off-season (OFF1), pre-season (PRE), mid-season (MID) the following (OFF2). A subsample 11 at all time points 4 DXA-derived estimates fat lean mass normalised to stature analysis (kg∙m‒2); data are (mean [lower:...

This study investigated the plasma concentration of glucose, insulin and amino acids, key metabolic regulators recovery from exercise. In randomised order, seven active men (aged 26.2 (SD 6.1) years) undertook 90 3) min cycle exercise in heat followed by a metered replacement volume milk (0.1% Skimmed Milk, Glanbia Consumer foods Ireland Plc; trial M) or carbohydrate-electrolyte (Powerade, Coca Cola Ltd, London, UK; CE) solution, equivalent to 150% BM loss, consumed within 2–3 h(1).
