Anecdotal evidence supports the use of Bacrobial® skin cleanser for preventing muscle cramps; however, empirical evidence is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To examine whether Bacrobial® prevents muscle cramping in the triceps surae. DESIGN: Randomized, double-b... |
Effect of Cluster set Configurations on Power Clean Technique |
2013 |
2635 |
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of cluster set configurations on power clean technique. Ten male, recreational weightlifters performed three sets of six repetitions at 80% of one repetition max with 0 (P0), 20 (P20) or 40... |
Effect of inter-repetition rest on ratings of perceived exertion during multiple sets of the power clean |
2012 |

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of inter-repetition rest (IRR) on ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) in the power clean exercise in a multiple set protocol using peak power as an indication of fatigue. Ten resistance-trained mal... |
Evaluation of Rhodiola rosea supplementation on skeletal muscle damage and inflammation in runners following a competitive marathon |
2014 |
677827 |
Adaptogens modulate intracellular signaling and increase expression of heat shock protein 72 (HSP72). Rhodiola rosea (RR) is a medicinal plant with demonstrated adaptogenic properties. The purpose of this study was to measure the in?uence of RR suppl... |
Fibroblast growth factor 2-stimulated proliferation is lower in muscle precursor cells from old rats |
2009 |

Lower capillarization, VEGF protein, and VEGF mRNA response to acute exercise in the vastus lateralis muscle of aged vs. young women |
2005 |
1007 |
In humans, the majority of studies demonstrate an age-associated reduc- tion in the number of capillaries surrounding skeletal muscle fibers; however, recent reports in rats suggest that muscle capillarization is well maintained with advanced age. In... |
Lower capillary density but no difference in VEGF expression in obese vs.lean young skeletal muscle in humans |
2006 |

Obesity is associated with lower skeletal muscle capillarization and lower insulin sensitivity. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is important for the maintenance of the skeletal muscle capillaries. To investigate whether VEGF and VEGF recept... |
Lower skeletal muscle capillarization and VEGF expression in aged vs. young men |
2005 |

Recently, we observed that muscle capillarization, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein, and the VEGF mRNA response to acute exercise were lower in aged compared with young women. We hypothesized that similar age-related differ-ences in ... |
Muscle precursor cells isolated from aged rats exhibit an increased tumor necrosis factor-a response |
2009 |

Improving muscle precursor cell (MPC, muscle-specific stem cells) function during aging has been implicated as a key therapeutic target for improving age-related skeletal muscle loss. MPC dysfunction during aging can be attributed to both the aging M... |
Non-passaged muscle precursor cells from 32-month old rat skeletal muscle have delayed proliferation and differentiation |
2013 |

Objectives: The systemic environment and satellite cell dysfunction have been proposed as important contributors in the development of sarcopenia and impaired skeletal muscle regrowth with ageing. In the present study, we investigated effects of seru... |
Post-exercise skeletal muscle glycogen related to plasma cytokines and muscle IL-6 protein content, but not muscle cytokine mRNA expression |

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to correlate post-exercise muscle glycogen levels with changes in plasma cytokine, and muscle mRNA cytokine expression and protein content.Methods: Twenty-four male runners (age 36.5 ± 1.8 years, ... |
A randomized trial of fish oil omega-3 fatty acids on arterial health, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome in a young healthy population |
