Why Is the Association Between Mediterranean Diet and Physical Performance in Athletes Inconclusive? Implications for Future Studies.

: Athletes increasingly turn to nutrition and supplements to enhance performance, yet the evidence surrounding the efficacy of the Mediterranean diet (MD) remains inconclusive. This scoping review aims to evaluate identify gaps in the existing literature and provide implications for future research on the MD's potential to improve athletic performance across various demographics, sport types, and performance measures. : We conducted a systematic search of peer-reviewed studies published across four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Scielo, and Google Scholar) using the following terms and their combinations: "mediterranean diet", "performance", "athlete", "sport".

Endonuclease associations with three distinct editosomes in Trypanosoma brucei.

Three distinct editosomes, typified by mutually exclusive KREN1, KREN2, or KREN3 endonucleases, are essential for mitochondrial RNA editing in Trypanosoma brucei. The three editosomes differ in substrate endoribonucleolytic cleavage specificity, which may reflect the vast number of editing sites that need insertion or deletion of uridine nucleotides (Us). Each editosome requires the single RNase III domain in each endonuclease for catalysis.

Pressure response after resistance exercise for different body segments in hypertensive people.

Background: Resistance exercise has now been recommended as adjunct component of aerobic exercise on physical training program directed to the treatment and control of hypertension (HBP). However, it has not been widely incorporated yet into clinical practice, possibly by the scarcity of available evidence regarding the safe limits of the acute pressure response in this modality.

Objective: To investigate the acute effect of progressive resistance exercise of different body segments, the pressure response of patients with controled hypertension (HBP).
