Frontiers | Branched-Chain Amino Acid Ingestion Stimulates Muscle Myofibrillar Protein ... - 1 views

  • BCAAs exhibit the capacity to stimulate myofibrillar-MPS, however a full complement of EAA could be necessary to stimulate a maximal response of myofibrillar-MPS following resistance exercise
  • This information potentially has important nutritional implications for selecting amino acid supplements to facilitate skeletal muscle hypertrophy in response to resistance exercise training and the maintenance of muscle mass during aging, unloading, or disease
  • results from the present study suggest that ingesting BCAAs alone, without the other EAA, provides limited substrate for protein synthesis in exercised muscles
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • the overall response of MPS is not maximized. Instead, the limited availability of EAA likely explains the qualitative difference in magnitude of the MPS response to ingestion of BCAAs alone and ingestion of similar amounts of BCAAs as part of intact whey protein
  • decreased EAA concentrations following leucine ingestion
  • these data support the notion that EAA availability is the rate-limiting factor for stimulating a maximal MPS response to resistance exercise with BCAA ingestion
  •  
    Complete amino acid supplementation exceeds muscle building capacity (myofibrillar-MPS) over BCAA alone.

Statins use and coronary artery plaque composition: Results from the International Mult... - 0 views

  • Statin use is associated with an increased prevalence and extent of coronary plaques possessing calcium
  • As compared with individuals not taking statins, those taking statins possessed a significantly higher prevalence of obstructive CAD, as well as higher numbers of vessels with obstructive CAD
  • non-calcified plaques (NCP)
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • non-calcified (NCP), mixed (MP), or calcified (CP) plaque
  • statin use was each associated with a significantly higher prevalence of NCP, MP and CP
  • statin use was associated with increased presence of MP [odds ratio (OR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27–1.68, p < 0.001] and CP (OR 1.54, 95% CI 1.36–1.74, p < 0.001], but not NCP
  • statin use was associated with increasing numbers of coronary segments possessing MP and CP but not associated with increasing numbers of coronary segments possessing NCP
  • North America, Europe and Asia
  • A total of 6673 individuals (2413 on statin therapy and 4260 not on statin therapy) comprised the study population
  • we identified a strong association of statin use to coronary artery plaque features
  • statin use was associated with a differentially increased prevalence and extent of MP and CP
  • one potential unifying hypothesis is that rather than regression of coronary plaque, statins may contribute to the conversion of coronary plaque constituents, perhaps by conversion of NCP to plaque possessing calcium
  • Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA)
  • Statin use was associated with a higher frequency of severe coronary artery stenoses as well as numbers of coronary vessels with obstructive CAD
  •  
    Study finds statin therapy associated with increased coronary plaque with calcium.

    Study of memantine finds effect on insulin is the same in the brain as in the pancreas.  In essence, Alzheimer's disease, is in part, a diabetes of the brain disease.

Nutritional regulation of muscle protein synthesis with resistance exercise: strategies... - 0 views

  •  
    This study proposes that immediate post-resistance training protein helps to stimulate muscle growth. Recovery from training is just as important as the training itself.
