The influence of human gut microbiota on health and disease is now commonly appreciated. Therefore, it not surprising that microbiome research has found interest in the sports community, hoping to improve optimize performance. Comparative studies new species or pathways were more enriched elites than sedentary controls. In addition, sport-specific performance-level-specific features have been identified. However, results remain inconclusive indicate need for further assessment. this...
Abstract Collagen alpha-1(V) chain, encoded by the COL5A1 gene, plays a crucial role in abundant fibrillar collagens supporting many tissues body containing type I collagen and appears to regulate association between heterotypic fibers composed of both V occurring among others muscles, tendons ligaments. Taking this fact into consideration we decided examine rs12722 rs13946 polymorphisms, individually as inferred haplotypes, with anterior cruciate ligament rupture risk (ACLR) professional...
Obesity has been recognized as a worldwide growing problem, producing many pathologies including the promotion of "proinflammatory state." The etiology human obesity is still only partially understood; however, genetic background proved. Its nature complex, and currently, it appears that combined effects interactions among multiple genes should receive more attention. Due to fact promotes proinflammatory conditions, in this study, we investigated polymorphism IL-1 family healthy people with...
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine with both pro- and anti-inflammatory actions, but also considered as "metabolic hormone" involved in immune responses, affecting glucose, protein lipid metabolism. It has been proposed to be related obesity, various results have presented. Thus, this study, the very homogenous population of young, male military professionals, living same conditions involving high physical activity, selected avoid influence environmental factors. The subjects were divided...
Research into sports participation has increasingly pointed to inherent biological mechanisms as influential factors alongside psychosocial and environmental elements. The dopaminergic D2 receptor is a strong candidate gene for physical activity behaviour, given its role in locomotor control reward mechanisms. Hence, this study aimed analyse the association of DRD2 Tag1B rs1079597 polymorphism with personality traits elite athletes. group consisted 395 volunteers. Of these, 163 were...

Three DNA polymorphisms previously identified as markers for handgrip strength are associated with in weightlifters muscle fiber hypertrophy. J...
Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) is one of the essential mediating factors exercise-induced neuroplasticity, but underlying molecular mechanisms neuroplasticity are still largely unknown. Personality dimensions differentiate individuals and depend on genes environmental factors. The openness to experience, emotional stability, extraversion conscientiousness have been reported be positively related performance; considering agreeableness, a negative relation with sports performance was...
The aim of the present study was to analyse VEGFA rs699947, rs1570360, and rs2010963 polymorphisms with susceptibility anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) in a Polish population. included 412 physically active Caucasian participants. group consisted 222 individuals surgically diagnosed primary ACLR qualified for reconstruction (ACLR group). control 190 apparently healthy participants without any history (CON Three within (rs699947, rs2010963) gene were chosen investigation due their...
Human adipocytes release multiple adipokines into the bloodstream during physical activity. This affects many organs and might contribute to induction of inflammation. In this study, we aimed assess changes in circulating adipokine levels induced by intense aerobic anaerobic exercise individuals with different adipose tissue content. quasi-experimental 48 male volunteers (aged 21.78 ± 1.98 years) were assigned groups depending on their body fat content (BF): LBF, low (<8% BF, n = 16); MBF,...
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACLIs) are one of the most common knee in sports. Although numerous factors have been related to risk ACLIs, it is still unclear why some individuals more susceptible than others due intricate etiology ACLIs. Several genetic identified as contributing This systematic review summarizes current evidence regarding causes ACLIs based on available literature. Five electronic databases were searched from 2017 2022. All titles, abstracts, and full texts reviewed...

Presently, a growing popularity of electronic cigarettes may be observed. Used as means obtaining nicotine they allow to substitute traditional cigarettes. The origins substance use disorders are conditioned by dopaminergic signaling which influences motivational processes being elementary factors conditioning the process learning and exhibiting goal-directed behaviors. study concentrated on analysis three polymorphisms located in dopamine receptor 2 (DRD2) gene—rs1076560, rs1799732...
This study aimed to investigate the ACTN3 R577X, ACE I/D, CKM rs8111989, and TRHR rs7832552 genotypes in climbers controls three ethnicities. The consisted of 258 (Japanese, n = 100; Polish, 128; Russian, 30) 1151 (Japanese: 332, Polish: 635, Russian: 184). Genotyping results were analyzed using TaqMan approach Japanese Polish subjects HumanOmni1-Quad Bead Chips Russian subjects. There no significant differences R577X I/D polymorphism distribution between any ethnic cohort or model....
Personality traits and temperament may affect sports performance. Previous studies suggest that dopamine play an important role in behavior regulation physical exercise The aim of this study is to determine associations between D4 receptor gene (DRD4 Ex3) polymorphisms personality (such as neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeability conscientiousness) elite combat athletes. A total 302 physically active, unrelated, self-reported Caucasian participants were recruited for study....
Development of an addiction is conditioned by many factors. The dopaminergic system has been shown to be the key element in this process. In paper, we analyzed influence dopamine receptor 2 polymorphism rs1076560 two groups-polysubstance-dependent male patients (n = 299) and controls matched for age 301). both groups, applied same questionnaires testing-Mini-international neuropsychiatric interview, NEO Five-Factor Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. real-time PCR method was used...
Background: Sequence variants within the matrix metalloproteinases genes remain plausible biological candidates for further investigation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture risk. The aim present study was to establish whether MMP1 (rs1799750, ->G), MMP10 (rs486055, C > T) and MMP12 (rs2276109, T C) were associated with non-contact ACL in a Polish cohort.

In the mammalian genome, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism involving transfer of a methyl group onto C5 position cytosine to form 5-methylcytosine. regulates gene expression by recruiting proteins involved in repression or inhibiting binding transcription factors (TFs) DNA. As there are still many questions concerning role creating personality, we concentrated on searching for such associations. The research was 100 sports male subjects (mean age = 22.88, SD 6.35), whereas control...

Abstract Personality traits, especially in sport are modulatory factors of athletes’ behavior – his/ her conscientiousness, the will to achieve an aim, perseverance and motivation activity. Not only biological predispositions related anatomical or biochemical traits success, but they also largely determined by personality that result from genetic factors. In our research we joined tests athlete’s correlation with genotypes dopamine transporter (DAT1) gene polymorphism. The selection this...
