Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the physiological adaptations of males and females to repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH).
Methods: Active males and females completed 7 wk of repeated sprint training in normoxia (RSN; F i O 2 = 0.209, males: n = 11, females: n = 8) or RSH (F i O 2 = 0.
Background And Objectives: Most research studies on the effects of repeated plasma donation are observational with different study limitations, resulting in high uncertainty on the link between repeated plasma donation and health consequences. Here, we prospectively investigated the safety of intensive or less intensive plasma donation protocols.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-three male subjects participated in this randomized controlled trial and were divided into low-frequency (LF, once/month, n = 16), high-frequency (HF, three times/month, n = 16), very high-frequency (VHF, two times/week, n = 16) and a placebo (P, once/month, n = 15) groups.
The title compound, CHI, is an ethynyl-substituted anthracene. The C-C-I bond angles deviate from 180°, being affected by inter-molecular I⋯π inter-actions. These inter-actions form a two-dimensional supra-molecular structure further supported by offset π-π stacking of neighboring anthracene moieties.

Objective: To investigate the value of these proteins as biomarkers of IPF.
