Quercetins efficacy on bone and inflammatory markers, body composition, and physical function in postmenopausal women.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the effects of quercetin (a plant-based flavonoid) supplementation over 90 days on prominent bone turnover markers (BTMs), inflammatory markers, bone mineral density (BMD), body composition, and physical function in postmenopausal women.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-three healthy postmenopausal women were recruited to participate in a double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation. Participants were randomized into one of two supplement groups: (1) 500 mg of quercetin (QUE) once daily or (2) 500 mg of methylcellulose (placebo; PLB) once daily.

No sex differences in evoked contractile properties after fatiguing isometric and isotonic exercise for the plantar flexors.

Objectives: Females tend to fatigue less than males after isometric exercise, but less is clear for isotonic exercise. Further, there have been relatively few sex comparisons for fatigability of the plantar flexors (PFs). We sought to investigate potential sex differences in contractile properties after a sustained maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and isotonic contractions.

Isometric versus isotonic contractions: Sex differences in the fatigability and recovery of isometric strength and high-velocity contractile parameters.

The purpose of this study was to investigate potential sex differences in the fatigue- and recovery-induced responses of isometric strength and power, as well as select dynamic contractile parameters after isometric and isotonic plantar flexor (PF) contractions. Healthy males (n = 12; age = 21.8 ± 2.

Four Weeks of Time-Restricted Feeding Combined with Resistance Training Does Not Differentially Influence Measures of Body Composition, Muscle Performance, Resting Energy Expenditure, and Blood Biomarkers.

Recently, interest in time-restricted feeding (TRF) has increased from reports highlighting improvements in body composition and muscular performance measures. Twenty-six recreationally active males were randomly assigned to either TRF ( = 13; ~22.9 years; 82.

Safety of Short-Term Supplementation with Methylliberine (Dynamine) Alone and in Combination with TeaCrine in Young Adults.

Methylliberine (Dynamine; DYM) and theacrine (Teacrine; TCR) are purine alkaloids purported to have similar neuro-energetic effects as caffeine. There are no published human safety data on DYM, and research on TCR is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of four weeks of DYM supplementation with and without TCR on cardiovascular function and blood biomarkers.
