Article Synopsis
  • Skeletal muscle can adapt to various physiological challenges, but injuries like partial calcaneal tendon (CT) damage can disrupt this process.
  • A study on Wistar rats examined the effects of partial CT injuries on the gastrocnemius muscle over various timeframes, revealing significant changes in gene expression and muscle integrity, particularly noticeable at 3 days post-injury.
  • The research suggests that while partial CT injuries negatively impact muscle signaling and regulation, skeletal muscle has mechanisms to cope that may reduce the severity compared to more severe injuries affecting both muscle and tendon.

Investigations involving high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have proven to be efficient in controlling diabesity. This study aimed to assess the impact of discontinuing HIIT and retraining within the context of diabesity. 75 C57BL6 mice went through 5 stages: baseline, induction of diabesity with Western diet, training, detraining, and retraining (6 weeks each period).

This systematic review aimed to compile various research designs, including experimental, longitudinal, cross-sectional, and case studies in humans and experimental studies in rodents, to examine changes in Akkermansia muciniphila abundance in response to exercise. This comprehensive approach can improve our understanding of A. muciniphila response to physical exercise and highlight gaps in the literature, providing valuable insights for future microbiome research.

Article Synopsis
  • * A meta-analysis of 25 trials with 552 obese subjects found no significant differences in gut peptides like GLP-1, peptide YY, and cholecystokinin between obese and lean individuals in a fasting state.
  • * While overall gut peptide levels were unaffected by obesity, factors such as a high-fat diet and reduced chewing were found to decrease these peptides; further research is needed to explore the effects of different stimuli on gut peptide release and appetite regulation in obesity.

Background And Aim: Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) supplementation can stimulate beneficial intestinal bacteria growth, but little is known about its influence on training performance. Therefore, this study analyzed FOS and exercise effects on gut microbiota and intestinal morphology of C57Bl/6 mice.

Methods: Forty male mice were divided into four groups: standard diet-sedentary (SDS), standard diet-exercised (SDE), FOS supplemented (7.
