Exercise training can efficiently prevent and treat many chronic...

... diet (HFD). The level of NAD + and Sir2 expression upregulate the transcriptional activity of PGC-1α. Exercise improves cardiac NAD + level and PGC-1α activity. However, the relationship between exercise, NAD + /dSIR2/ PGC-1α pathway and lipotoxic cardiomyopathy remains unknown. In this study, flies...

..., we measured breath-by-breath tidal volumes and expired O 2 levels of bottlenose dolphins, and computed the O 2 consumption rate ( V̇ O 2 ) before and after a pre-determined duration of exercise. The measured V̇ O 2 was compared with three methods to estimate FMR. Each method to estimate V̇ O 2...

...John N. Maina; Sikiru A. Jimoh Summary Structural failure of blood–gas barrier (BGB) and epithelial–epithelial cell connections (EECCs) in different vascular regions of the exchange tissue of the lung was studied in rested and exercised chickens. The number of red blood cells (nRBCs) was counted...
