A mixed method feasibility and acceptability study of a flexible intervention based on acceptance and commitment therapy for patients with cancer.

Propose: This study aimed to propose an innovative, open, and circular program that combines acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices. We assessed its feasibility, acceptability, and first signs of its effect on psychological wellbeing in cancer support treatment.

Methods: A single-center, single-arm, uncontrolled study was performed.

Dataset on transcriptome signature of skeletal muscle of young, adult and aged mice.

This data article reports the level of expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) obtained from a set of 18 skeletal muscle samples using Affymetrix Genechips Exon arrays. Data were obtained from muscle of C57BL6 male mice at 3 distinct age groups, 2, 11 and 25 months old representing young, mature adult and aged groups. The data submitted to GEO constitute a large dataset of 15,300 mRNA levels.

A Single Bout of Ultra-Endurance Exercise Reveals Early Signs of Muscle Aging in Master Athletes.

Middle-aged and master endurance athletes exhibit similar physical performance and long-term muscle adaptation to aerobic exercise. Nevertheless, we hypothesized that the short-term plasticity of the skeletal muscle might be distinctly altered for master athletes when they are challenged by a single bout of prolonged moderate-intensity exercise. Six middle-aged (37Y) and five older (50Y) master highly-trained athletes performed a 24-h treadmill run (24TR).

Magnesium Homeostasis in Myogenic Differentiation-A Focus on the Regulation of TRPM7, MagT1 and SLC41A1 Transporters.

Magnesium (Mg) is essential for skeletal muscle health, but little is known about the modulation of Mg and its transporters in myogenic differentiation. Here, we show in C2C12 murine myoblasts that Mg concentration fluctuates during their differentiation to myotubes, declining early in the process and reverting to basal levels once the cells are differentiated. The level of the Mg transporter MagT1 decreases at early time points and is restored at the end of the process, suggesting a possible role in the regulation of intracellular Mg concentration.

A Mix of Dietary Fibres Changes Interorgan Nutrients Exchanges and Muscle-Adipose Energy Handling in Overfed Mini-Pigs.

This study evaluates the capacity of a bread enriched with fermentable dietary fibres to modulate the metabolism and nutrients handling between tissues, gut and peripheral, in a context of overfeeding. Net fluxes of glucose, lactate, urea, short chain fatty acids (SCFA), and amino acids were recorded in control and overfed female mini-pigs supplemented or not with fibre-enriched bread. SCFA in fecal water and gene expressions, but not protein levels or metabolic fluxes, were measured in muscle, adipose tissue, and intestine.
