Background: This study checked whether vitamin D (Vit-D) supplementation improves the efficacy of resistance training (RT) in terms of increasing muscle strength and lean body mass (LBM), and influencing cardiorespiratory fitness (VOmax) in Vit-D-deficient middle-aged healthy men.
Methods: Participants ( = 28) were quasi-randomly assigned to one of two groups, which, in a double-blind manner, supplemented their diet daily with either Vit-D (8000 IU; VD) or placebo (PLC) during participation in a 12-week supervised RT program.
Results: During the intervention, serum Vit-D concentrations increased 2.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on KBG syndrome (KBGS), a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the ANKRD11 gene, exploring its clinical features in adults, which are less documented compared to children.
- - Researchers collected data on 36 adults with confirmed KBGS from various families and found symptoms such as mild intellectual disabilities, motor difficulties, psychiatric issues, and other health concerns like seizures and vision problems.
- - The findings reveal a diverse range of adult experiences and abilities related to education and employment, contributing to the understanding of long-term outcomes for individuals with KBGS.
Representatives of the genus are widely used as probiotics to modulate the gut microbiome and alleviate various health conditions. The action mechanisms of probiotics rely on their direct effect on the gut microbiota and the local and systemic effect of its metabolites. The main purpose of this animal experiment was to assess the biosafety of the strain BIOCC1719.

The aim of this preliminary study was to characterise the metabolic diversity of a novel strain, BIOCC 1719, of human origin. The change after 24 h cultivation in three media was assessed using a metabolomic approach.
