Endocrine disrupting chemicals and obesity prevention: scoping review.

Introduction: Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can result in alterations of natural hormones in the body. The aim of this review article is to highlight the knowledge about EDCs and obesity.

Methods: A scoping review of the electronic literature was performed using PubMed platform for studies on EDCs and obesity published between the years 2013-2023.

Energy Intake of Men With Excess Weight During Normobaric Hypoxic Confinement.

Due to the observations of weight loss at high altitude, normobaric hypoxia has been considered as a method of weight loss in obese individuals. With this regard, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of hypoxia on metabolism in men with excess weight. Eight men living with excess weight (125.

A 10-day confinement to normobaric hypoxia impairs toe, but not finger temperature response during local cold stress.

The study examined the effects of a 10-day normobaric hypoxic confinement on the finger and toe temperature responses to local cooling. Eight male lowlanders underwent a normoxic (NC) and, in a separate occasion, a normobaric hypoxic confinement (HC; FO: 0.154; simulated altitude ~3400m).

The Effect of Normobaric Hypoxic Confinement on Metabolism, Gut Hormones, and Body Composition.

To assess the effect of normobaric hypoxia on metabolism, gut hormones, and body composition, 11 normal weight, aerobically trained (O2peak: 60.6 ± 9.5 ml·kg(-1)·min(-1)) men (73.

Intermittent normobaric hypoxic exposures at rest: effects on performance in normoxia and hypoxia.

Introduction: It has been speculated that short (-1-h) exposures to intermittent normobaric hypoxia at rest can enhance subsequent exercise performance. Thus, the present study investigated the effect of daily resting intermittent hypoxic exposures (IHE) on peak aerobic capacity and performance under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions.

Methods: Eighteen subjects were equally assigned to either a control (CON) or IHE group and performed a 4-wk moderate intensity cycling exercise training (1 h x d(-1), 5 d x wk(-1)).

The effect of a sleep high-train low regimen on the finger cold-induced vasodilation response.

The present study evaluated the effect of a sleep high-train low regimen on the finger cold-induced vasodilation (CIVD) response. Seventeen healthy males were assigned to either a control (CON; n=9) or experimental (EXP; n=8) group. Each group participated in a 28-day aerobic training program of daily 1-h exercise (50% of peak power output).

Normoxic and hypoxic performance following 4 weeks of normobaric hypoxic training.

Introduction: Although training in hypoxia has been suggested to improve sea level and altitude performance, most studies have only evaluated its effect on maximal aerobic capacity in either normoxia or hypoxia. The present study evaluated the effect of a live low-train high training regimen on both normoxic and hypoxic endurance performance and aerobic capacity.

Methods: There were 18 male subjects who performed 20 training sessions in either a normoxic (F(IO2) = 0.

Respiratory muscle endurance training: effect on normoxic and hypoxic exercise performance.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of respiratory muscle endurance training on endurance exercise performance in normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Eighteen healthy males were stratified for age and aerobic capacity; and randomly assigned either to the respiratory muscle endurance training (RMT = 9) or to the control training group (CON = 9). Both groups trained on a cycle-ergometer 1 h day(-1), 5 days per week for a period of 4 weeks at an intensity corresponding to 50% of peak power output.
