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 ...
Secondhand smoke exposure induces acutely airway acidification and oxidative stress
(2013)
Previous studies have shown that secondhand smoke induces lung function impairment and increases proinflammatory cytokines. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute effects of secondhand smoke on airway ...
Effects of exercise and physical activity on depression
(2011)
Depression is a very prevalent mental disorder affecting 340 million people globally and is projected to become the leading cause of disability and the second leading contributor to the global burden of disease by the year ...
Exposure to secondhand smoke promotes sympathetic activity and cardiac muscle cachexia
(2014)
Recent trials demonstrated that a single brief exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) generates acute adverse health effects. We evaluated the acute (immediately after exposure) and short-term (0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after ...
Non-invasive measurement of tibialis anterior muscle temperature during rest, cycling exercise and post-exercise recovery
(2015)
We introduce a non-invasive and accurate method to assess tibialis anterior muscle temperature (Tm) during rest, cycling exercise, and post-exercise recovery using the insulation disk (INDISK) technique. Twenty-six healthy ...
Effects of active and passive tobacco cigarette smoking on heart rate variability
(2013)
Given the widespread incidence of smoking as well as its deleterious health effects, it is crucial to examine practical and cost effective prognostic markers assessing its health impact. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a ...
Acute effects of second-hand smoke on complete blood count
(2014)
We assessed the acute effects of a 1-h exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) on complete blood count (CBC) markers in a controlled simulated bar/restaurant environment. Nineteen adult never-smokers completed a 1-h .exposure ...
