UNLABELLED BACKGROUND With prolonged physical activity, it is important to maintain adequate fluid balance. The impact of consuming isotonic drinks during and after exercise on the autonomic regulation of cardiac function is unclear. This study aimed to analyze the effects of consuming an isotonic drink on heart rate variability (HRV) during and after prolonged exercise. METHODS Thirty-one...

Triglyceride-rich lipoprotein apoprotein catabolism was studied in rats from 5 to 60 min after intravenous injection of 125I-labeled lipoproteins. The plasma and liver labeled apoprotein content was analyzed by gel filtration column chromatography using an elution buffer containing 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate. The method resolved two B apoproteins of lower (apo B1) and higher (apo Bh) molecular w...

In this study, the effectiveness of two conventional UV reactors in series for the online sterilization of cheese whey was compared to that of a single conventional reactor. The single reactor and the two reactor series were tested at eleven flow rates (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60 and 70 mL min ) and five flow rates, (35, 40, 50, 60, 70 mL min ), respectively. 100% destruction efficie...

One of the essential factors for selection drying process is energy consumption. This study intended to optimize treatment capers using convection (CD), refractive window (RWD), and vacuum (VD) combined with ultrasonic pretreatment by a comparative approach among artificial neural networks (ANN) response surface methodology (RSM) focusing on specific consumption (SEC). For this purpose, effects...

The effect of atropine, a muscarinic cholinergic blocking agent, on the response of plasma pancreatic polypeptide (hPP) to the ingestion of beef was investigated. Six healthy subjects ingested 250 g broiled ground beef on three occasions. After beef ingestion alone, the expected biphasic plasma hPP response was observed. On the two other occasions atropine (intravenous bolus followed by infusio...

Acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome. Cardiac dysfunction, as defined by echocardiography. Septic shock : Septic shock exists if there is severe sepsis plus one or both of the following Systemic mean blood pressure is <60 mmHg (or <80 mmHg if the patient has baseline hypertension for at least 1 h despite adequate fluid resuscitation. (adequate fluid resuscitation is defined ...

OBJECTIVE To determine lengths and causes of pre- and in-hospital delays in thrombolytic treatment. DESIGN A prospective national survey covering 48 of the 51 Finnish university, central and general hospitals to obtain basic data before the start of a public campaign to shorten patient-related delay in acute myocardial infarction. SUBJECTS One thousand and twelve consecutive patients with a...

The effects of 15 d of supplementation with L-carnitine L-tartrate (LC) on metabolic responses to graded-intensity exercise under conditions of altered substrate availability were examined. Fifteen endurance-trained male athletes undertook exercise trials after a 2-d high-carbohydrate diet (60% CHO, 25% fat) at baseline (D0), on Day 14 (D14), and after a single day of high fat intake (15% CHO, ...
