The Effect of Oral Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Supplementation on Anaerobic Exercise in Healthy Resistance-Trained Individuals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Sports (Basel)
March 2024
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an energy and signaling molecule. It is synthesized endogenously and can be taken as an oral supplement. This review aimed to identify the effects of oral ATP supplementation on anaerobic exercise in healthy resistance-trained adults.

- Hyperuricemia (HUA) is frequently seen in individuals with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, yet its relationship with low-grade inflammation in the Mexican population remains largely unexplored.
- A study involving 250 adults found positive associations between insulin resistance and higher serum uric acid levels, particularly noting significant correlations of inflammatory markers like IL-6 and hs-CRP with metabolic syndrome and HUA in women.
- The findings suggest that monitoring serum uric acid and inflammatory markers could be useful for managing metabolic syndrome in individuals, especially for women with HUA.
Background: The first case of SARS-CoV-2 in Mexico was reported in February 2020, since then, high rates of mortality due to COVID-19 have been found. Cytokine storm is linked to the severity and decreasing the survival among infected patients by COVID-19. The serum levels of Interleukin 6 (IL-6) have been correlated to mortality in COVID-19 cases and could be used as indicator of mortality in COVID-19 cases.

- Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is linked to various factors like genetics, diet, and lifestyle, increasing cardiovascular disease risk; this study aimed to assess different methods for estimating MetS in a public hospital in Yucatan, Mexico.
- A cross-sectional study involved 250 adults, using standard criteria and specific lipid parameters (LAP, CMI, CRI-I) to diagnose MetS; findings showed that 48% of participants had MetS, with high rates of overweight and obesity.
- The study concluded that the CMI and LAP are the most reliable indicators for diagnosing MetS in the adult population of Yucatan, with cut-off values varying by sex and age.
