AR CAG repeat length is not associated with serum gonadal steroids and lipid levels in healthy men
(2009)P>Cardiovascular risk factors seem to be affected by androgens, which exert their action through the androgen receptor (AR). Androgenic action correlates inversely with a polymorphic CAG repeat region in the AR gene encoding ... -
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 ... -
The dancer as a performing athlete - Physiological considerations
(2004)The physical demands placed on dancers from current choreography and performance schedules make their physiology and fitness just as important as skill development. However, even at the height of their professional careers, ... -
Dietary protein and energy supplies differentially affect resistance to parasites in lactating mammals
(2011)Periparturient relaxation of immunity (PPRI) to parasites in mammals results in higher worm burden and worm egg excretion and may have a nutritional basis. Nippostrongylus brasiliensis re-infected lactating rats fed low-crude ... -
The effect of chicory (Cichorium intybus) and sulla (Hedysarum coronarium) on larval development and mucosal cell responses of growing lambs challenged with Teladorsagia circumcincta
(2006)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of grazing different bioactive forages on acquired immunity against Teladorsagia circumcinta infection. The development of immunity was assessed by following the response ... -
Effect of diabetes mellitus on muscle size and strength in patients receiving dialysis therapy
(2006)Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a potential contributor to the muscle abnormalities and poor physical functioning of the dialysis population. Methods: Thirty-three dialysis patients without DM (non-DM group) were ... -
Effects of maternal protein nutrition and subsequent grazing on chicory (Cichorium intybus) on parasitism and performance of lambs
(2010)Forty-eight 4- to 5-yr-old Blackface x Bluefaced Leicester (Mule) ewes and their 24-d-old twin lambs were used to assess the effects of maternal protein nutrition and subsequent grazing on chicory (Cichorium intybus) on ... -
The effects of three months of aerobic and strength training on selected performance and fitness-related parameters in modern dance students
(2007)Koutedakis, Y., H. Hukam, G. Metsios, A. Nevill, G. Giakas, A. Jamurtas, and L. Myszkewycz. The effects of three months of aerobic and strength training on selected performance- and fitness-related parameters in modern ... -
An isoenergetic high-protein, moderate-fat diet does not compromise strength and fatigue during resistance exercise in women
(2008)Resistance exercise is recommended to individuals following high-protein diets in order to augment changes in body composition. However, alterations in macronutrient composition may compromise physical performance. The ... -
A model for predicting feed intake of growing animals during exposure to pathogens
(2006)A general model is proposed for predicting the effects of subdinical pathogen challenges of different doses and virulence on the relative feed intake (RFI) of animals. The RFI is defined as the feed intake (FI, kg/d) of ... -
Muscular Strength: Applications for Dancers
(2009)Muscle fibers can generally be divided into slow and fast twitch according to their contraction speed. Even though in individual normally has the same ratio of slow/fast muscle fibers throughout his or her body, the ... -
Protein synthesis in gilthead sea bream: response to partial fishmeal replacement
(2012)The present study aimed to measure tissue protein synthesis in sea bream fed isonitrogenous diets that contained 63, 55 and 50% fishmeal; in the latter two diets, 16 and 27% of the fishmeal protein was replaced with plant ... -
