Background: A challenging 7-d ranger field exercise (FEX) by cadets in the Norwegian Military Academy provided a venue in which to study the effects of negative energy balance.
Objective: We quantified total energy expenditure (TEE), food intake, and changes in body composition in male and female cadets.
Design: TEE (measured by doubly labeled water), food intake, activity patterns (measured by accelerometry), and body composition (measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) were measured in 16 cadets (10 men and 6 women aged 21-27 y).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how reactive oxygen species (ROS) production post-trauma can be regulated using hydrocortisone or a specific inhibitor (U0126) to potentially prevent organ dysfunction.
- The trial involved 17 male pigs subjected to controlled gunshot injuries, with one group receiving hydrocortisone and the other receiving saline as a control.
- Blood samples were collected before and after treatment to measure ROS levels and assess the inflammatory response, highlighting the effects of the administered therapies.
