Effects of WB-EMS and protein supplementation on body composition, physical function, metabolism and inflammatory biomarkers in middle-aged and elderly patients with sarcopenic obesity: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: The patients with sarcopenic obesity (SO) have the characteristics of both sarcopenia and obesity, that is, less muscle mass and increased fat mass, and their morbidity, disability and mortality are higher than patients with sarcopenia or obesity alone.

Objectives: To investigate the effects of whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) training and protein supplementation intervention on body composition, physical function, metabolism and inflammatory biomarkers in middle-aged and elderly patients with SO.

Methods: We searched for randomized controlled trials in seven databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, SinoMed, and CNKI as of July 3, 2021.

Effects of resistance training on body composition and physical function in elderly patients with osteosarcopenic obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Unlabelled: Osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) is a complex disease commonly seen in the elderly. We found that resistance training may improve bone mineral density, skeletal muscle mass, and body fat percentage in patients with OSO. Therefore, resistance training is beneficial for elderly OSO patients and is worth being promoted.

[Effects of astaxanthin combined with aerobic exercise on renal aging of rat induced by D-galactose and its mechanism].

To study the effects and mechanisms of astaxanthin combined with aerobic exercise on renal senescence of rat induced by D-galactose. Sixty 3-month-old SPF SD rats were divided into control group (C group), acute senescence group (S group), astaxanthin+acute senescence group (AS group), aerobic exercise+acute senescence group (ES group), astaxanthin+aerobic exercise+acute senescence group (AES group), by two-factor two-level 2×2 factorial design with 12 rats in each group. Acute senescence model of rat was establshed by intraperitoneal injection with 100 mg/(kg·d) D-galactose, and the intervention was conducted with 20 mg/(kg·d) astaxanthin and/or aerobic exercise with 60% VO for 6 weeks.

[Regulatory effect of curcumin on splenic inflammation in overtraining rats and its mechanism].

To study the alleviating effects of curcumin on splenic inflammation in overtraining rats by regulating toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Male Wistar rats of 7-week old were divided into control group (C group, 12), overtraining model group (OM group, 11), curcumin + overtraining model group (COM group, 14). C Group did not undergo any exercise intervention.

[Regulatory effects of curcumin on spleen apoptosis in overtraining rats and its mechanism].

Objective: To study the mechanisms of curcumin alleviating oxidative stress and spleen apoptosis induced by overtraining in rats by regulating Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway.

Methods: Male Wistar rats of 7 weeks old were divided into control group (C group, 12), overtraining group (OM group, 11), curcumin + overtraining group (COM group, 14). The C Group did not undergo any exercise intervention.

[Regulatory effect of curcumin on renal apoptosis and its mechanism in overtraining rats].

Objective: To study the effects and mechanisms of curcumin alleviating oxidative stress induced by overtraining and inhibiting renal apoptosis in rats.

Methods: Male Wistar rats of 7 weeks old were divided into control group (C group, 12), overtraining group (OM group, 11), curcumin + overtraining group (COM group, 14). Group C did not undergo any exercise intervention.

[Effects of aerobic exercise combined with chlorella pyrenoidos of disintegrated cell wall on some indicators of lipid metabolism in rats with high-fat diet].

Objective: To study the effects of aerobic exercise combined with chlorella pyrenoidos of disintegrated cell wall on the lipid metabolism in rats with high-fat diet.

Methods: Fifty-five male Wistar rats were subjected to adaptive feeding for 4 days and weight-free swimming training for 3 days, 20 min/d. After eliminating 5 rats that were not suitable for swimming training, the other rats were randomly divided into 5 groups according to their body weight:control group (C group), high fat diet group (H group), high-fat diet + chlorella group(HC group), high fat diet + aerobic exercise group (HM group), high fat diet + chlorella + aerobic exercise group (HMC group), 10 in each group.

[The protective effects of on the exercise-induced myocardial injury in rat].

Objective: To study the protective effects of () on myocardial injury of rats induced by endurance and intensive exercise.

Methods: The model was based on intensive endurance training. Sixty-five male aged 42 days Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group (C group), general training group (M group), low dose + training group (HM I group), middle dose + training group (HM Ⅱ group), high dose + training group (HM Ⅲ group).

[Effects and mechanisms of 6-week intensive training on renal function in rats].

Objective: To study the effect of 6-week intensive training on renal function in rats and the mechanism of exercise-induced proteinuria.

Methods: Thirty-six male SD rats, aged 6 weeks, were divided into two groups, including a control group(C,=12)and an overtraining group(M,=24). After the rats adapted to feeding for 4 d, group C did not carry out any exercise, and the M group did 6-week of increasing load swimming, 6 days a week, once a day.
