Acute Physiological Responses to Short- and Long-Stage High-Intensity Interval Exercise in Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Pilot Study.

Despite described benefits of aerobic high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE), the acute responses during different HIIE modes and associated health risks have only been sparsely discovered in heart disease patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the acute responses for physiological parameters, cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers, and catecholamines yielded by two different aerobic HIIE protocols compared to continuous exercise (CE) in phase III cardiac rehabilitation. Eight cardiac patients (7 with coronary heart disease, 1 with myocarditis; 7 males, 1 female; age: 63.

How to regulate the acute physiological response to "aerobic" high-intensity interval exercise.

The acute physiological processes during "aerobic" high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and their regulation are inadequately studied. The main goal of this study was to investigate the acute metabolic and cardiorespiratory response to long and short HIIE compared to continuous exercise (CE) as well as its regulation and predictability. Six healthy well-trained sport students (5 males, 1 female; age: 25.

Exercise increases the frequency of circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells, but reduces hematopoietic colony-forming capacity.

Circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells (CPCs) may be triggered by physical exercise and/or normobaric hypoxia from the bone marrow. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of physical exercise and normobaric hypoxia on CPC number and functionality in the peripheral blood as well as the involvement of oxidative stress parameters as possibly active agents. Ten healthy male subjects (25.

Mutually exclusive apicobasolateral sorting of two oligodendroglial membrane proteins, proteolipid protein and myelin/oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells.

Oligodendrocytes elaborate an extensive membrane network that ensheathes CNS axons in multilamellar wrappings. A compaction process excludes much of the cytoplasm in mature myelin membranes, giving rise to distinct lipid/protein compositions in two membrane compartments (compact myelin and membranes of the cell body and processes). Insofar as oligodendrocytes arise from neuroepithelial progenitors, it seems likely that some elements are shared for protein targeting by these two cell types.

Identification of a basolateral membrane targeting signal within the cytoplasmic domain of myelin/oligodendrocyte glycoprotein.

Oligodendrocytes possess two distinct membrane compartments--uncompacted plasma membrane (cell body, processes) and compact myelin. Specific targeting mechanisms must exist to establish and maintain these membrane domains. Polarized epithelial cells have the best characterized system for targeting components to apical and basolateral compartments.
