Oral cancer refers to malignant tumors, of which 90% are squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). These malignancies exhibit rapid progression, poor prognosis, and often mutilating therapeutical approaches. The determination of a prophylactic and/or therapeutic antitumor role of the polyphenolic extract would be relevant in developing new tools for prevention and treatment.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the acute effects of traditional RT (TRT) versus two types of sarcoplasma stimulating training (SST) methods on total training volume (TTV), lactate, and muscle thickness (MT). Twelve trained males (20.

Objective: We aimed to compare the effects of 2 wk of supplementation with different classes of macronutrients on gastric function, satiation, and appetite in healthy and overweight subjects.
Design: In a parallel-group, double-blind study, 52 (14 men, 38 women) healthy normal-weight, overweight, and obese participants [body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)): 19.
Objective: Altered satiation may impact postprandial symptoms and potentially change food intake in obesity. Our aim was to compare effects of octreotide and placebo on postprandial symptoms, satiation, and gastric volumes in obesity.
Research Methods And Procedures: In a randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 26 obese but otherwise healthy participants received 100 mug of octreotide or placebo subcutaneously 30 minutes before each study.
