Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how individualized post-exercise blood flow restriction (PE-BFR) affects recovery after intense resistance workouts in trained adults.
  • Participants were split into two groups—one using PE-BFR and the other as a control—and the recovery metrics included peak torque, muscle soreness, and jump height.
  • Results indicated that PE-BFR significantly improved recovery, showing better jump performance, less muscle soreness, and higher perceived recovery scores over time compared to the control group.

In vivo phagocytosis of senescent red blood cells (RBCs) by macrophages occurs 120 days after their release into the circulation. It depends on two sequential signals that trigger phagocytosis: (1) desialylation of membrane glycoconjugates with the exposure of the penultimate beta-galactosyl residues and (2) exposure of phosphatidylserine in the membrane outer leaflet. Leukodepleted and nonleukodepleted RBCs were compared using flow cytometric procedures to determine whether the in vitro deterioration of RBCs during storage might be attributable to an identical mechanism of desialylation induced by leukocyte neuraminidases, resulting in exposure of beta-galactosyl and subsequently phosphatidylserine residues - signals of senescent RBCs.
