Elucidating regulatory processes of intense #physical activity by multi-omics analysis
BackgroundPhysiological and biochemical processes across tissues of the body are regulated in response to the high demands of intense physical activity in several occupations, such as firefighting, law enforcement, military, and sports. A better understanding of such processes can ultimately help improve human performance and prevent illnesses in the work environment.MethodsTo study regulatory processes in… Continue reading Elucidating regulatory processes of intense #physical activity by multi-omics analysis
Relationship of Daily #Step Counts to All-Cause #Mortality and #Cardiovascular Events
Background The minimal and optimal daily step counts for health improvements remain unclear. Objectives A meta-analysis was performed to quantify dose-response associations of objectively measured step count metrics in the general population. Methods Electronic databases were searched from inception to October 2022. Primary outcomes included all-cause mortality and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). Study results were… Continue reading Relationship of Daily #Step Counts to All-Cause #Mortality and #Cardiovascular Events

#Walking more than five flights of stairs a day can cut risk of #heart disease by 20% – Study
Forget walking 10,000 steps a day. Taking at least 50 steps climbing stairs each day could significantly slash your risk of heart disease, according to a new study from Tulane University. The study, published in Atherosclerosis, found that climbing more than five flights of stairs daily could reduce risk of cardiovascular disease by 20%. Atherosclerotic… Continue reading #Walking more than five flights of stairs a day can cut risk of #heart disease by 20% – Study
Irisin reduces #amyloid-β by inducing the release of neprilysin from #astrocytes following downregulation of ERK-STAT3 signaling
A pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) protein in the brain. Physical exercise has been shown to reduce Aβ burden in various AD mouse models, but the underlying mechanisms have not been elucidated. Irisin, an exercise-induced hormone, is the secreted form of fibronectin type-III-domain-containing 5 (FNDC5). Here, using a… Continue reading Irisin reduces #amyloid-β by inducing the release of neprilysin from #astrocytes following downregulation of ERK-STAT3 signaling
American #Football Play and #Parkinson Disease Among Men
Importance Parkinsonism and Parkinson disease (PD) are known to result from repetitive head impacts from boxing. Repetitive head impacts from American football may also be associated with increased risk of neurodegenerative pathologies that cause parkinsonism, yet in vivo research on the association between football play and PD is scarce and limited by small samples and equivocal… Continue reading American #Football Play and #Parkinson Disease Among Men
