Acute exercise markedly increases blood oxidative stress in boys and girls
(2007)This study investigated the effect of an acute swimming protocol on selected blood redox status indices in trained children. Eleven boys and 11 girls (aged 9-11 y) swam 12 bouts of 50 m at a pace corresponding to 70%-75% ... -
Adipocytokine Levels in Children: Effects of Fatness and Training
(2012)To investigate the effects of obesity and exercise training on plasma adipocytokines a sample of 42 children (lean = 24, %BF = 17.8 +/- 7.5%; obese = 18; %BF = 29.1 +/- 9.3%; mean age = 12.4 +/- 1.9 yrs), were divided into ... -
Aging impairs heat loss, but when does it matter?
(2015)Aging is associated with an attenuated physiological ability to dissipate heat. However, it remains unclear if age-related impairments in heat dissipation only occur above a certain level of heat stress and whether this ... -
Allometric Associations Between Body Size, Shape, and Physical Performance of Greek Children
(2009)We adopted allometric models to identify the most appropriate body size/shape characteristics associated with physical performance activities of Greek school children. Children underwent assessments for aerobic and anaerobic ... -
Animal models in peritoneal dialysis
(2015)Peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been extensively used over the past years as a method of kidney replacement therapy for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). In an attempt to better understand the properties of the ... -
ANTIANGIOGENIC POTENTIAL OF GRAPE STEM EXTRACT THROUGH INHIBITION OF VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR EXPRESSION
(2014)The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiangiogenic potential of a grape stem extract against tube formation by human endothelial cells (EA.hy926). The results showed that at low and non-cytotoxic concentrations ... -
Biological evidence for the acute health effects of secondhand smoke exposure
(2010)Flouris AD, Vardavas CI, Metsios GS, Tsatsakis AM, Koutedakis Y. Biological evidence for the acute health effects of secondhand smoke exposure. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol 298: L3-L12, 2010. First published September ... -
Calcitonin effect on Achilles tendon healing. An experimental study on rabbits
(2009)Objective: A positive potential effect of Calcitonin (CT) on Achilles tendon healing was investigated as well as the ability of MRI to follow the tendon healing process. Materials and Methods: A standardized tenotomy of ... -
Changes in heart rate variability during the induction and decay of heat acclimation
(2014)We evaluated the changes in core temperature, heart rate, and heart rate variability (HRV) during the induction and decay of heat acclimation. Ten males (23 +/- A 3 years; 79.5 +/- A 3.5 kg; 15.2 +/- A 4.5 percent body ... -
Comparison of physiological and post-endovascular aneurysm repair infrarenal blood flow
(2017)Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms results in redirection of blood through the deployed endograft (EG). Even though EVAR is clinically effective, the absolute flow restoration is not warranted. ... -
Comparison of the blood redox status between long-distance and short-distance runners
(2006)Exercise increases the production of reactive oxygen species, which may damage a number of cell constituents. Organisms have developed a sophisticated antioxidant system for protection against reactive oxygen species. Our ... -
Comparison of the electrophysiological properties of the sheep isolated costal and diaphragmatic parietal pleura
(2007)1. Pleural permeability may contribute to pleural fluid turnover. The transmesothelial resistance (R-TM), is an established surrogate of mesothelial permeability. The aim of the present study was to compare the ... -
Comparison of the phospholipid and triacylglycerol fatty acid profile of rat serum, skeletal muscle and heart
(2006)Although several studies have analyzed the fatty acid profile of phospholipids (PL) and, to a lesser degree, triacylglycerols (TG) in one or more tissues concurrently, a systematic comparison of the fatty acid composition ... -
The Contribution of Stretch-Shortening Cycle and Arm-Swing to Vertical Jumping Performance in Children, Adolescents, and Adult Basketball Players
(2008)This study examined from childhood to adulthood: (1) the effects of countermovement (use of stretch-shortening cycle-SSC) and arm-swing (AS) on vertical jumping (W) performance and (2) the ability to use the SSC and AS ... -
Dexamethasone acutely accelerates pleural fluid absorption in mice hydrothoraces
(2010)This study assessed the effect of corticosteroid treatment in the clearance of hydrothoraces in mice. Twentyfour C57BL/6 mice were divided into four groups and were injected intrapleurally with 500 mu L sterilized PBS-BSA ... -
Dexamethasone decreases the transmesothelial electrical resistance of the parietal and visceral pleura
(2009)The effect of dexamethasone on the transmesothelial electrical resistance (R (TM)) of sheep pleura was investigated by Ussing chamber experiments. Our results show that dexamethasone decreases the R (TM) of sheep pleurae, ... -
Differential effects of xanthine oxidase inhibition and exercise on albumin concentration in rat tissues
(2010)Albumin is a protein present in almost all kinds of mammalian cells. It has binding sites for several molecules, and possesses antioxidant and other important properties. The aim of this study was to examine the effects ...
