Investigation of Skeletal Muscle Indices Affecting Anaerobic Thresholds after Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Objective: To investigate skeletal muscle indices influencing the anaerobic threshold (AT) measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX).

Methods: This study included 125 consecutive men (median age: 66.0 years) diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction who underwent CPX before discharge.

Character impact odorants of wild edible plant--Cacalia hastata L. var. orientalis--used in Japanese traditional food.

The chemical composition of the essential oil of Cacalia hastata L. var. orientalis has been investigated by GC and GC-MS.

Aroma-active compounds of Elatostema laetevirens and Elatostema umbellatum var. majus.

The essential oils from aerial parts of Elatostema laetevirens and Elatostema umbellatum var. majus were investigated by capillary GC and GC-MS. The important aroma-active compounds were also detected in the oil using GC-MS/O and aroma extraction dilution analysis (AEDA).
