Acute resistance exercise results in catecholaminergic rather than hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis stimulation during exercise in young men
(2010)Exercise is a paradigm of a stress situation. The adaptive response to stressors comprises the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and components of the autonomic sympathetic system. An aseptic ... -
Aging is not a barrier to muscle and redox adaptations: Applying the repeated eccentric exercise model
(2013)Despite the progress of analytic techniques and the refinement of study designs, striking disagreement exists among studies regarding the influence of exercise on muscle function and redox homeostasis in the elderly. The ... -
Anti-inflammatory effects of a special carbohydrate-whey protein cake after exhaustive cycling in humans
(2013)Intense exercise induces increased levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a special cake (consisting of carbohydrate to whey protein 3.5:1) ... -
The Antioxidant Effects of a Polyphenol-Rich Grape Pomace Extract In Vitro Do Not Correspond In Vivo Using Exercise as an Oxidant Stimulus
(2012)Fruits, such as grapes, are essential food of the Mediterranean diet. Grape extracts have potent antioxidant and chemopreventive properties in vitro. Numerous studies have examined the effects of plant extract administration ... -
Antioxidant effects of whey protein on muscle C2C12 cells
(2014)In the present study, the in vitro scavenging activity of sheep whey protein against free radicals, as well as its reducing power were determined and compared with that of beef protein, soy protein and cow whey protein. ... -
Application of a new oxidation-reduction potential assessment method in strenuous exercise-induced oxidative stress
(2015)Objectives: The aim of the study was to test a novel method for assessing oxidative stress, the RedoxSYS (TM) diagnostic system, a holistic, fast, minimally invasive, and requiring small sample volume method, that measures ... -
Association between habitual physical activity and brown adipose tissue activity in individuals undergoing PET-CT scan
(2015)ObjectiveAugmented brown adipose tissue (BAT) mass and activity lead to higher basic metabolic rate which is beneficial against obesity. Our aim was to investigate whether habitual (i.e. usual weekly participation) physical ... -
Blood as a reactive species generator and redox status regulator during exercise
(2009)The exact origin of reactive species and oxidative damage detected in blood is largely unknown. Blood interacts with all organs and tissues and, consequently, with many possible sources of reactive species. In addition, a ... -
BLOOD OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS AFTER ULTRAMARATHON SWIMMING
(2011)Kabasakalis, A, Kyparos, A, Tsalis, G, Loupos, D, Pavlidou, A, and Kouretas, D. Blood oxidative stress markers after ultramarathon swimming. J Strength Cond Res 25(3): 805-811, 2011-Data on redox balance in response to ... -
Blood velocity pulse quantification in the human conjunctival pre-capillary arterioles
(2010)Axial red blood cell velocity pulse was quantified throughout its period by high speed video microcinematography in the human eye. In 30 conjunctival precapillary arterioles (6 to 12 mu m in diameter) from 15 healthy humans, ... -
Can the use of creatine supplementation attenuate muscle loss in cachexia and wasting?
(2009)Purpose of review Weight loss and low BMI due to an underlying illness have been associated with increased mortality, reduced functional capacity, and diminished quality of life. There is a need for well tolerated, long-term ... -
Cell-free plasma DNA as a novel marker of aseptic inflammation severity related to exercise overtraining
(2006)Background: Circulating free plasma DNA is implicated in conditions associated with tissue injury, including exercise-induced inflammation, and thus is a potential marker for athletic overtraining. Methods: We measured ... -
Dose-related effects of prolonged NaHCO3 ingestion during high-intensity exercise
(2006)Purpose: Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) ingestion may prevent exercise-induced perturbations in acid-base balance, thus resulting in performance enhancement. This study aimed to determine whether different levels of NaHCO3 ... -
Eccentric exercise affects the upper limbs more than the lower limbs in position sense and reaction angle
(2010)In this study, we investigated the effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and reaction angle of the elbow and knee flexors. Twelve males underwent two eccentric exercise sessions involving a randomized crossover ... -
Effect of a special carbohydrate-protein bar and tomato juice supplementation on oxidative stress markers and vascular endothelial dynamics in ultra-marathon runners
(2014)It is well established that exercise induces excessive production of reactive species leading to oxidative stress, which has been implicated in oxidative damage of macromolecules, immune dysfunction, muscle damage and ... -
Effect of a special carbohydrate-protein cake on oxidative stress markers after exhaustive cycling in humans
(2012)Exercise has been associated with oxidative stress that is correlated with muscle fatigue and reduced exercise performance. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a special cake (consisting of carbohydrate to ... -
The effect of eccentric exercise on position sense and joint reaction angle of the lower limbs
(2007)Impaired position sense and impaired joint reaction angle of the lower limbs after muscle-damaging activities is a serious functional limitation that may lead to an increased risk of injury, particularly in older populations. ... -
The Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Muscle Function and Proprioception of Individuals Being Overweight and Underweight
(2013)Paschalis, V, Nikolaidis, MG, Theodorou, AA, Deli, CK, Raso, V, Jamurtas, AZ, Giakas, G, and Koutedakis, Y. The effects of eccentric exercise on muscle function and proprioception of individuals being overweight and ... -
Effects of leptin on the expression of fatty acid-binding proteins in human placental cell cultures
(2012)The present study aimed to evaluate the protein expression of the transmembrane translocase FAT/CD36 and cytoplasmic H-FABP and L-FABP in human trophoblast tissue and evaluate the effects of exogenous leptin upon differential ... -
Effects of polyphenolic grape extract on the oxidative status of muscle and endothelial cells
