Does exercise modality and posture influence cerebrovascular and cardiovascular systems similarly?

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1539-1550, November 2024. Cerebral hemodynamics have been quantified during exercise via transcranial Doppler ultrasound, as it has high-sensitivity to movement artifacts and displays temporal superiority. Currently, limited research exists regarding how different exercise modalities and postural changes impact the cerebrovasculature across the cardiac cycle. Ten […]

Retinol-binding protein 4 is a potential biomarker of changes in lean mass in postmenopausal women

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1551-1557, November 2024. Identifying biomarkers can help in the early detection of muscle loss and drive the development of new therapies. Research suggests a potential link between retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and muscle mass, particularly in postmenopausal women. This study aimed to examine the association

Interrelationships between stress, eating attitudes, and metabolism in endurance athletes across a competitive season

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1558-1572, November 2024. A competitive sport season represents a multidimensional stressor where physical and psychological stress may render an athlete susceptible to energy deficiency (ED). Downstream effects of ED can include a reduction in measured-to-predicted resting metabolic rate (RMRratio), indicating metabolic compensation. A pathway linking

Gestational physical activity alters offspring brain APP processing in an age-specific manner

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 1507-1516, November 2024. Maternal exercise is beneficial for offspring brain development. Amyloid precursor protein (APP) influences neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Cleavage products of APP are implicated in the proliferation of neural progenitor cells and neuronal network development. Our study aimed to investigate differences in APP
