Article Synopsis
- * In a study of 541 AIS patients, 40 (7.4%) had experienced a TIA within the week prior, and those patients showed less severe strokes, better recovery outcomes, and reduced brain damage compared to those without recent TIAs.
- * Analysis revealed that these patients also had a distinct metabolomic/lipidomic profile, indicating higher levels of structural and bioactive lipids, which could enhance neuronal survival and improve the immune response, ultimately contributing to better adaptation
Ischemic tolerance (IT) refers to a state where cells are resistant to the damaging effects caused by periods of ischemia. In a clinical scenario, the IT phenomenon would be activated by a recent transient ischemic attack (TIA) before an ischemic stroke (IS). The characterization of inflammatory protein expression patterns will contribute to improved understanding of IT.

Yet, the effects of RE emphasizing eccentric (ECC; lengthening) actions on muscle hypertrophy and cognitive function in stroke patients are currently unknown. Thus, this study explored the effects of ECC-overload RE training on skeletal muscle size and function, and cognitive performance in individuals with stroke.
