The purpose of this study was to investigate fatty acid (FA) oxidation in isolated mitochondrial vesicles (mit) and its relation to training status, fiber type composition, and whole body FA oxidation. Trained (Vo(2 peak) 60.7 +/- 1.6, n = 8) and untrained subjects (39.5 +/- 2.0 ml.min(-1).kg(-1), n = 5) cycled at 40, 80, and 120 W, and whole body relative FA oxidation was assessed from respira...

This article applies a panel structural VAR model using complete data of China's monthly agricultural exports to uncover both the dynamics and interproduct intermarket differences in responses product quality real exchange rate (RER) shocks. It finds that RER appreciation promotes on average compared discouraging exports, but effect is fully shown short run. The response peaks month immediately...

This paper surveys the theoretical and empirical literature on effects of real exchange rate (RER) international trade, economic development growth. We summarize main conceptual issues, briefly discuss relevance RER as an instrument policy, provide overview macroeconomic microeconomic mechanisms that link to trade long-run growth development, analyse challenges – especially disconnect between t...

Dietary acid load, quantified as the potential renal acid load (PRAL) of the diet, affects systemic pH and acid-base regulation. In a previous cross-sectional study, we reported that a low dietary PRAL (i.e. alkaline promoting diet) is associated with higher respiratory exchange ratio (RER) values during maximal exercise. The purpose of the present study was to confirm the previous findings wit...

Health risks from space radiations, particularly from densely ionizing radiations, represent an important challenge for long-ranged manned space missions. Reliable methods are needed for scaling low-LET to high-LET radiation risks for humans, based on animal or in vitro studies comparing these radiations. The current standard metric, relative biological effectiveness (RBE) compares iso-effect d...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the cardiovascular effects of two low-levels of caffeine ingestion in non habitual caffeine users at various submaximal and maximal exercise intensities. METHODS Nine male subjects (19-25 yr; 83.3 +/- 3.1 kg; 184 +/- 2 cm), underwent three testing sessions administered in a randomized and double-blind fashion. During each session, subjects w...

S OF PAPERS 201 four were analyzed for body composition. The analyses of gases were determined from d 19-21. The broilers were fed from d 14-21 three different grower diets containing 3000, 3100, and 3200 kcal ME/kg. The diets consisted primarily of corn, soybean meal and poultry fat. The 3100 and 3200 kcal ME diets contained increasing protein and amino acids to maintain equivalent nutrient de...

This study examines the asymmetric effect of real exchange rate (RER) determinants on RER. Workers' remittances (REM), foreign reserves (RES), government expenditures (EXP) and terms trade (TOT) were chosen as RER, which was measured with four different price indices; (CPIU.S/CPIJOR, GDP Def. rU.S/GDP Def.JOR, IPIU.S/GDP JOR , PPIU.S/GDP JOR). Quarterly data applied from Jordan for period (2004...
