Dietary Intake and Energy Expenditure During Two Different Phases of Athletic Training in Female Collegiate Lacrosse Players.

Kumahara, H, Ohta, C, Nabeshima, E, Nakayama, A, Mine, S, and Yamato, T. Dietary intake and energy expenditure during two different phases of athletic training in female collegiate lacrosse players. J Strength Cond Res 34(6): 1547-1554, 2020-This study aims to investigate the state of nutrient intake and energy expenditure (EE) among various phases of periodization in female collegiate lacrosse players.

High saturated fatty acid intake induces insulin secretion by elevating gastric inhibitory polypeptide levels in healthy individuals.

Insulin resistance is central to the etiology of the metabolic syndrome cluster of diseases. Evidence suggests that a high-fat diet is associated with insulin resistance, which may be modulated by dietary fatty acid composition. We hypothesized that high saturated fatty acid intake increases insulin and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) secretion.

Diabetes modulates ethanol-induced increase in serotonin release from rat hippocampus: an in vivo microdialysis study.

We examined whether diabetes mellitus (DM) affects the acute ethanol (EtOH)-induced increase in serotonin (5-HT) release from the rat hippocampus, and compared the findings with those obtained from non-DM rats. Hippocampal 5-HT was measured by using in vivo microdialysis. Rats were rendered diabetic by an injection of streptozotocin (STZ).

Effects of ion channel blockers on basal hippocampal monoamine levels in freely moving diabetic and non-diabetic rats.

This study characterized the ion channel activities in the hippocampus of diabetic rats by monitoring the levels of monoamines. Extracellular levels of serotonin and dopamine were measured in the hippocampus of awake, freely moving streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, spontaneously diabetic rats, and non-diabetic rats, using in vivo microdialysis. Sodium, calcium, and potassium ion channel blockers were used to assess the ion channel activities.

Simultaneous measurement of nitric oxide, blood glucose, and monoamines in the hippocampus of diabetic rat: an in vivo microdialysis study.

The present study was undertaken to examine the relationships among the levels of nitric oxide (NO), monoamines, and blood glucose in the diabetic hippocampus. The levels of NO and monoamines (serotonin, 5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT] and dopamine [DA]) were simultaneously measured in several experiments, using in vivo microdialysis techniques. We used both experimentally and spontaneously diabetic rats as the diabetic animal model, and compared the findings with those obtained from non-diabetic rats.

Modulation of the stress response by coffee: an in vivo microdialysis study of hippocampal serotonin and dopamine levels in rat.

We studied whether coffee and its components (caffeine and chlorogenic acid) have stress-relaxing effects. In vivo brain microdialysis was used to characterize the effects of coffee, stress, and their interaction on the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems in the rat hippocampus. Restraint stress for 100 min caused a marked increase in dopamine and serotonin (5-HT) levels in the hippocampus, and then, 100 min resting (freely-moving) time reduced them to basal levels.
