ABSTRACT Introduction: Fatigue is a manifestation of sub-health status, which causes serious negative effects in daily life. The antioxidant properties crocin have been widely investigated many diseases. However, no correlation between and fatigue was reported. Objective: To verify the anti-fatigue efficacy swimming-induced exhaustive time. Materials Methods: In this study, mice were treated wi...

Temporary proteinuria occurring after exercise is a common finding, and it is explained predominantly by alterations in renal hemodynamics. In this study, we investigated whether nitric oxide (NO), which is known to have an effect on renal hemodynamics and to increase during exercise, has a role in postexercise proteinuria. In the first step of this study, the effect of acute NO synthase blocka...

BACKGROUND The ability to sustain intense exercise seems to be partially limited by the body's capability to counteract decreases in both intra- and extracellular pH. While the influence of an enhanced buffering capacity via sodium bicarbonate (BICA) on short-term, high-intensity exercise performance has been repeatedly investigated, studies on prolonged endurance performances are comparatively...

Background: Exercise stress was shown to increase oxidative stress in rats. It lacks reports of increased protection afforded by dietary antioxidant supplements against ROS production during exercise stress. We evaluated the effects of vitamin E supplementation on renal non-enzymatic antioxidants in young rats submitted to exhaustive exercise stress. Methods: Wistar rats were divided into three...

Methods 22 males (24.9 ± 4.4) completed 4 exercise test visits, each involving an exhaustive exercise protocol intended to induce muscle soreness (30 minutes, -10 degree decline, 75% HRmax) and 4 hours later, a TTE performance trial. In a crossover, partially double-blinded manner, subjects were provided 2 servings of the beverage (11-13.7 oz), 15 minutes and 2 hours after the exhaustive exerci...

Skeletal muscle CoA and carnitine metabolism were investigated in six human volunteers at rest and after exhaustive exercise under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In comparison to the values at rest, exhaustive exercise was associated with a threeto fourfold increase in the skeletal muscle lactate, and with a twofold increase in the acetyl-CoA content, both under normoxic and hypoxic condition...

Background Exhaustive exercise causes muscle damage accompanied by oxidative stress and inflammation leading to muscle fatigue and muscle soreness. Lemon verbena leaves, commonly used as tea and refreshing beverage, demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a proprietary lemon verbena extract (Recoverben®) on muscle streng...
