BACKGROUNDAlthough 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations of 30 ng/mL or higher are known to reduce injury risk and boost strength, the influence on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) outcomes remains unexamined. This study aimed to define the vitamin D signaling response to ACLR, assess the relationship between vitamin D status and muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) and bone density outcomes, and discover vitamin D receptor (VDR) targets after ACLR.METHODSTwenty-one young, healthy, physically active participants with recent ACL tears were enrolled (17.

- The study investigated the effects of 7 days of betalain-rich beetroot concentrate (BLN) on cycling performance and related physiological responses in trained male cyclists.
- Results showed that BLN supplementation improved average power output and exercise efficiency during a 30-minute cycling time trial, but did not significantly affect other blood markers or inflammatory markers.
- The findings suggest that while BLN has modest benefits for cycling performance, it does not alter levels of plasma nitrites or other blood-related biomarkers.
Curcumin, a naturally occurring plant polyphenolic compound, may have beneficial effects in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) development. We examined whether curcumin supplementation could be used in both prevention and treatment of NASH with fibrosis. Female Wistar rats were provided ad libitum access to a "western diet" (WD) high in fat (43% kcal), sucrose (29% kcal), and cholesterol (2% w/v), as well as 15% fructose drinking water.

For this randomized, double-blind, placebo (PBO)-controlled, crossover study, 15 recreationally-active participants (aged 23.1 ± 3.

Methods: Thirty-two participants completed this two-aim study. In AIM1 ( = 18, age: 25.
Purpose: To compare the effects of external pneumatic compression (EPC) and sham when used concurrently with high intensity interval training (HIIT) on performance-related outcomes and recovery-related molecular measures.
Methods: Eighteen recreationally endurance-trained male participants (age: 21.6 ± 2.
