| Ajuga Turkestanica as a Countermeasure Against Sarcopenia and Dynapenia |
2012 |
8151 |
The effects of phytoecdysteroid supplementation on 20-month old male mouse skeletal muscle was tested. Three treatment groups were employed for the 28-day supplementation protocol: control (CT; vehicle only of 100% non-denatured ethanol), Ajuga turk... |
| High Intensity Interval Training Induces a Modest Inflammatory Response in Active, Young Males |
2013 |
7092 |
The purposes of this study were to determine the extent to which an acute session of high intensity interval training (HIIT) increases systemic inflammatory cytokines and chemokines and if two weeks of HIIT training alters the systemic inflammatory r... |
| Effect Of Phytoecdysteroid Supplementation On Myostatin Mrna Expression In Aged Murine Skeletal Muscle Tissue |
2016 |
424 |
Sarcopenia, the age related loss of skeletal muscle mass, is associated with the onset of frailty, increased injury met with decreased independence, decreased quality of life, and increased medical costs. While precipitated from multiple factors, one... |
| Mechanical Efficiency Is Lower After Cycling Compared To After Running In Trained Triathletes |
2016 |
1252 |
Triathlon involves swimming, cycling, and running. PURPOSE: To examine whether a 40-km cycling bout alters running economy (RE) and mechanical efficiency of running (ME) in trained triathletes. METHODS: Eight competitive triathletes (7 M, 1 F; 21.0±1... |
| Effect Of Ursolic Acid Consumption From Apple Wax On Cytokine Levels In The Blood And Handgrip Strength |
2017 |
1955 |
The wax of apples contains ursolic acid, a triterpenoid that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and increase muscle hypertrophy. Study participants consumed either a whole apple, peeled apple, or no apple, each weekday for three week... |
| Experimental Macrophage Polarization: A Two-Pronged Approach To Evaluate Modulation Of Macrophage Function |
2019 |
622 |
This study aimed to create an in vitro procedure for testing macrophage function following human-subject serum incubation. The study involved three optimizations: 1. THP-1 monocyte (THP-1) differentiation to monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) with P... |
| Stuart Little No More: Effects Of High Resistance Wheel Running On Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy And Strength In C57BL/6 Mice |
2022 |
257 |
Skeletal muscle comprises approximately 40% of body mass in adult humans; thus, maintaining skeletal muscle mass throughout the lifespan is critical to maintain normal function and health. To study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of maintaining... |
| Exercise-Induced Myokine Response Following 75-km Cycling |
2016 |
1844 |
Abstract Myokine is a term referring to a variety of cytokines or chemokines that are produced and released by myocytes in response to skeletal muscle contractions. The myokine response to prolonged exercise is not well known. Therefore, the purpose ... |
| Functional Exercise Training With The TRX Suspension Trainer in a Dysfunctional, Elderly Population |
2014 |
16546 |
Research has shown that resistance exercise training can slow, stop, and possibly reverse the process of sarcopenia. Functional training has been shown to be effective in improving ability to complete activities of daily living in an elderly populati... |
| Influence Of 20-Hydroxyecdysone On Skeletal Muscle Inflammation Following Eccentric Damage |
2018 |
606 |
Inflammation plays an important role in the skeletal muscle repair process after damage. In addition to exerting anabolic/growth effects on skeletal muscle, phytoecdysteroids, like 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), have been reported to possess anti-inflamma... |
| Pea Protein Vs. Whey Protein: Effects Of Different Protein Sources On Measures Of Oxidative Stress Following Eccentric Exercise |
2019 |
1491 |
Oxidative stress, an increase in free radicals which can cause damage to macromolecules, has been understudied in regard to resistance exercise, and more specifically eccentric exercise. The purpose of this study was to examine markers of oxidative s... |
| Effect Of Apple Peel Extract Supplementation In Skeletal Muscle Of Aged Mice |
2020 |
349 |
Apple peels contain naturally occurring bioactive compounds called triterpenoids that process properties that can enhance muscle mass and function. Triterpenoids exhibit a wide range of biological functions including antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti... |
