Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of caffeine ingestion before a resistance exercise session on markers of muscle damage (CK, LDH, ALT, AST) and leukocyte levels.
Methods: Fifteen soccer athletes completed two resistance exercise sessions that differed only in the ingestion of caffeine or a placebo preworkout.
Results: CK concentration increased significantly following the caffeine session (415.8+/-62.8 to 542.0+/-73.5) and the placebo session (411.5+/-43.3 to 545.8+/-59.9), with no significant differences between sessions. Similarly, LDH concentration increased significantly following the caffeine session (377.5+/-18.0 to 580.5+/-36.1) and the placebo session (384.8+/-13.9 to 570.4+/-36.1), with no significant differences between sessions. Both sessions resulted in significant increases in the total leukocyte count (caffeine=6.24+/-2.08 to 8.84+/-3.41; placebo=6.36+/-2.34 to 8.77+/-3.20), neutrophils (caffeine=3.37+/-0.13 to 5.15+/-0.28; placebo=3.46+/-0.17 to 5.12+/-0.24), lymphocytes (caffeine=2.19+/-0.091 to 2.78+/-0.10; placebo=2.17+/-0.100 to 2.75+/-0.11), and monocytes (caffeine=0.53+/-0.02 to 0.72+/-0.06; placebo=0.56+/-0.03 to 0.69+/-0.04), with no significant differences between sessions.
Conclusion: Ingestion of caffeine at 4.5 mg/kg(-1) did not augment markers of muscle damage or leukocyte levels above that which occurs through resistance exercise alone.

Modulating immune function is a critical strategy in cancer and atherosclerosis treatments. For cancer, boosting or maintaining the immune system is crucial to prevent tumor growth. However, in vascular disease, mitigating immune responses can decrease inflammation and slow atherosclerosis progression.

Background: Many adults with intellectual disabilities live a sedentary lifestyle, have low levels of functional fitness and are overweight. The purpose of this study was to determine whether an exercise intervention with activities which are simple, fun, accessible and adapted for socialising in a group would elicit significant improvements in various parameters associated with functional fitness for adults with intellectual disabilities.
Methods: Forty-two adults with intellectual disability (44.

The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) has been widely used for treating solid tumors attributed to its antiproliferative effectiveness; however, its clinical use is limited due to side effects, including cardiotoxicity, myelosuppression, and drug resistance. Combining DOX with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a glutathione (GSH) synthesis inhibitor, showed promising results in overcoming these adverse effects, potentially reducing the required DOX dose while maintaining efficacy. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of different concentrations of BSO and DOX, both individually and in combination, utilizing B16/F10 (murine melanoma), SNB-19 (human glioblastoma), S180 (murine sarcoma), and SVEC4-10 (murine endothelial) cell lines.

Objectives: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is not only a reliable marker for insulin resistance, but also has broad applications in assessing the risk of various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, depression, and Alzheimer's disease. The study aims to investigate the relationship between domain-specific moderate- or vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and TyG index among US adults.
Methods: The participants from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) were included.
