Sexual dimorphism on the acute effect of exercise in the morning vs. evening: A randomized crossover study.

Background: Mammalian cells possess molecular clocks, the adequate functioning of which is decisive for metabolic health. Exercise is known to modulate these clocks, potentially having distinct effects on metabolism depending on the time of day. This study aimed to investigate the impact of morning vs.

Exercise Training Counteracts Compromised Mitochondrial Capacity Induced by Energy Restriction in Prediabetics in a Sex-Dependent Manner.

The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to examine if exercise training can counteract energy restriction-induced impairment of mitochondrial capacity in skeletal muscle of 55-70-years people with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome. The potential impact of sex was explored. Fifty sedentary men and women with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome (age: 61 ± 6 (±SD) years, BMI: 29.

Does curcumin improve liver enzymes levels in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease? A systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression.

The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the sources of heterogeneity in randomized clinical trials examining the effects of curcumin supplementation on liver aminotransferases in subjects with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We conducted a systematic search of the PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases for randomized clinical trials and identified 15 studies (n = 835 subjects). We used random-effects models with DerSimonian-Laird methods to analyze the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase enzymes.

The role of muscle disuse in muscular and cardiovascular fitness: A systematic review and meta-regression.

We aimed to assess the effects of muscle disuse on muscle strength (MS), muscle mass (MM) and cardiovascular fitness. Databases were scrutinized to identify human studies assessing the effects of muscle disuse on both (1) MM and (2) maximal oxygen uptake (VO) and/or MS. Random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression with initial physical fitness and length of the protocol as a priori determined moderators were performed.

The Effects of Acute Deep Seawater Supplementation on Muscle Function after Triathlon.

Trainers and athletes have always sought to reduce the failure of muscle function during long endurance events. However, nowadays, it is a topic that is generating much debate in the scientific field. Currently, deep-sea water (DSW) intake seems to be a suitable hydration alternative for this type of endurance event.
