Peptide F [preproenkephalin (107–140)] has been shown to have stress-induced opiate-like activities with both analgesic and immune modulation characteristics. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was determine the effects Vicopofen (hydrocodone bitartrate 7.5 mg ibuprofen 200mg), (200mg) placebo on proenkephalin following muscle damage induced via repeated eccentric actions (120% Concentric 1 RM). METHODS: Thirty-six healthy men (22.7 ± 0.9 yrs, 78.2 2.5 kg, 178.5 6.8 cm) underwent baseline...
Abstract Objective To compare the effects of isocaloric, energy-restricted very low-carbohydrate ketogenic (VLCK) and low-fat (LF) diets on weight loss, body composition, trunk fat mass, resting energy expenditure (REE) in overweight/obese men women. Design Randomized, balanced, two diet period clinical intervention study. Subjects were prescribed (-500 kcal/day) diets: a VLCK with goal to decrease carbohydrate levels below 10% induce ketosis LF similar national recommendations...
AbstractObjective: Very low-carbohydrate diets are widely used for weight loss yet few controlled studies have determined how these impact cardiovascular risk factors compared to more traditional low-fat diets. The primary purpose of this study was compare a very and diet on fasting blood lipids, LDL subclasses, postprandial lipemia, insulin resistance in overweight obese women.Methods: Thirteen normolipidemic, moderately (body fat >30%) women were prescribed two hypocaloric (−500 kcal/day)...
In recent years, it has become apparent that low-grade vascular inflammation plays a key role in all stages of the pathogenesis atherosclerosis. Weight loss been shown to improve blood inflammatory markers; however, is unknown if weight-loss diets varying macronutrient composition differentially affect responses. The primary purpose present study was compare very-low-carbohydrate diet and low-fat on biomarkers overweight men. randomized cross-over design, 15 men (body fat, >25%; body...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects a progressive resistance training program on myosin heavy chain isoform expression, fiber type, and capillarization in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease. Patients were randomized either group (n = 11, mean ± SD, 70 6 years, 4 men, 7 women) or control 9, 66 5 women). sessions completed 3 times/week, using 2 sets various exercises, each performed for 8–15 repetitions. Muscle biopsies obtained before after 24 weeks...
We investigated the guinea pig, Cavia porcellus, as a model for Alzheimer's disease (AD), both in terms of conservation genes involved AD and regulatory responses these to known risk factor - high cholesterol intake. Unlike rats mice, pigs possess an Aβ peptide sequence identical human Aβ. Consistent with commonality between cardiovascular factors humans, we saw that diet leads up-regulation BACE1 (β-secretase) transcription down-regulation ADAM10 (α-secretase) which should increase release...

Sports Exerc., Vol. 33, No. 12, 2001, pp. 2016–2021. Purpose There have been conflicting reports of muscle type changes disease (PAD). The purpose this study was to examine the myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression as well histochemical gastrocnemius symptomatic PAD. Methods Needle biopsy specimens were obtained from...
To investigate the effects of short-term, reduced-volume sprint interval training (SIT) compared to traditional exercise recommendations (TER) in sedentary obese men.Sixteen subjects [37.8 ± 5.8 years; body mass index (BMI) 32.8 4.7 kg/m(2)] were randomly allocated 2 weeks either SIT (6 sessions 8-12 × 10 s sprints) or TER [10 30 min at 65% peak oxygen consumption (VO(2peak))] cycle exercise. Fasting plasma glucose, insulin, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), homeostasis model assessment...
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects vitamin E (VE) supplementation (1200 IU/day) on recovery responses repeated bouts resistance exercise. Non-resistance trained men were assigned supplement with VE (n = 9) or placebo (PL; n for 3 weeks and then perform exercise sessions separated by days (EX-1, EX-2, EX-3). Performance assessed at EX-1, EX-3. Fasting morning blood samples perceived muscle soreness obtained before EX-1 10 consecutive days. Muscle peaked after gradually...
Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence resistance training on circulating concentrations growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) in response acute heavy exercise. Methods: Using a cross-sectional experimental design, group resistance-trained men (RT, N = 9, 7.9 ± 1.3 yr experience) and untrained (UT, 10) performed an exercise protocol (AHREP) consisting 6 sets 10 repetition maximum parallel squats. Blood samples were obtained 72 h before exercise, immediately...
The object of this study was to examine changes in muscular strength, power, and resting hormonal concentrations during 6 weeks detraining (DTR) recreationally strength-trained men. Each subject randomly assigned either a DTR (n = 9) or resistance training (RT; n 7) group after being matched for body size, experience. Muscular strength power testing, anthropometry, blood sampling were performed before the experimental period (T1), 3 (T2), 6-week (T3). One-repetition maximum (1RM) shoulder...
