- Associations of Quadriceps Torque Properties with Muscle Size, Attenuation, and Intramuscular Adipose Tissue in Older AdultsPublication . Frank-Wilson, Andrew W; Chalhoub, Didier; Figueiredo, Pedro; Jónsson, Pálmi V; Siggeirsdóttir, Kristín; Sigurdsson, Sigurdur; Eiriksdottir, Gudny; Guðnason, Vilmundur; Launer, Lenore; Harris, Tamara BAtrophy and fatty infiltration of muscle with aging are associated with fractures and falls, however, their direct associations with muscle function are not well described. It was hypothesized that participants with lower quadriceps muscle attenuation, area, and greater intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) will exhibit slower rates of torque development (RTD) and lower peak knee extension torques.
- Inflammatory and Cardiometabolic Risk on Obesity: Role of Environmental XenoestrogensPublication . Teixeira, Diana; Pestana, Diogo; Santos, Cristina; Correia-Sá, Luísa; Marques, Cláudia; Norberto, Sónia; Meireles, Manuela; Faria, Ana; Silva, Ricardo; Faria, Gil; Sá, Carla; Freitas, Paula; Taveira-Gomes, António; Domingues, Valentina; Delerue-Matos, Cristina; Calhau, Conceição; Monteiro, RosárioSome chemicals used in consumer products or manufacturing (eg, plastics, pesticides) have estrogenic activities; these xenoestrogens (XEs) may affect immune responses and have recently emerged as a new risk factors for obesity and cardiovascular disease. However, the extent and impact on health of chronic exposure of the general population to XEs are still unknown.
- The effect of physical activity on mediators of inflammationPublication . Nimmo, M. A.; Leggate, M.; Viana, J. L.; King, J. A.Being physically active and undertaking exercise on a regular basis are critical lifestyle behaviours which protect against the development of numerous chronic metabolic conditions. One of the key mechanisms by which physical activity exerts favourable health effects appears to be due to its capacity to reduce chronic low-grade inflammation. Single bouts of exercise have a potent anti-inflammatory influence with recent advances describing important effects of acute exercise on inflammatory mediators produced within skeletal muscle (myokines), adipose tissue (adipokines) and leucocytes. The accumulated effects of physical activity or exercise training on systemic inflammation have been studied widely within epidemiological research; however, information from intervention trials is still emerging. Current data suggest that the most marked improvements in the inflammatory profile are conferred with exercise performed at higher intensities, with combined aerobic and resistance exercise training potentially providing the greatest benefit. The purpose of this review is to describe recent advances in our understanding surrounding the acute and chronic effects of physical activity on key mediators of inflammation. Within this, particular attention is given to the interleukin-6 system owing to its apparent centrality in mediating the anti-inflammatory effects of exercise.
