Chronic endurance exercise affects paracrine action of CD31+ and CD34+ cells on endothelial tube formation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how regular endurance exercise influences the redox status and function of two types of circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) in healthy young adults.
- Blood samples from both endurance-trained and inactive individuals showed no differences in redox status, but the conditioned media (CM) from inactive individuals produced significantly shorter and less complex tube structures in endothelial cell assays compared to those from endurance-trained individuals.
- Proteomics analysis revealed higher levels of S100A8 and S100A9 proteins in inactive subjects' CM, with S100A9 being particularly elevated and negatively affecting tube formation, indicating that exercise habits affect CAC function and secretion profiles.
The step-up activity (stair-ascending) is an important daily function of the knee. This study aimed to investigate the articular cartilage contact kinematics on both tibial and femoral cartilage surfaces and describe the femoral condylar motion using the transepicondylar axis (TEA) and the geometric center axis (GCA) during a step-up activity. Twenty-one healthy subjects were included and their knee joint models were reconstructed using MR images.
