ABSTRACT Bar formation in cosmological simulations of galaxy remains challenging. It was previously shown that the fraction barred galaxies at low stellar masses (M* < 1010.5 M?) TNG50 is too compared to observations. Here, we highlight another tension, also observed higher masses, namely appear be maximal discs, sense majority gravitational acceleration accounted for by baryons peak rad...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an amino acid mixture increases glucose uptake across perfused rodent hindlimb muscle in the presence and absence of a submaximal insulin concentration, and if the increase in glucose uptake is related to an increase in GLUT4 plasma membrane density. Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into one of four treatment groups: basal, amino acid mixtu...

There is evidence that the concentration of the high-energy phosphate metabolites may be altered during steady-state submaximal exercise by the breathing of different fractions of inspired O2 (FIO2). Whereas it has been suggested that these changes may be the result of differences in time taken to achieve steady-state O2 uptake (V(O2)) at different FIO2 values, we postulated that they are due t...

BACKGROUND Wearable sensors enable long-term monitoring of health and wellbeing indicators. An objective evaluation of sensors' accuracy is important, especially for their use in health care. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to use a wrist-worn optical heart rate (OHR) device to estimate heart rate (HR), energy expenditure (EE), and maximal oxygen intake capacity (VO2Max) during running an...

The direct measurement of true maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and oxygen uptake corresponding to anaerobic threshold (VO2AT) is not always practical, especially in middle age and older populations. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a simple test that could accurately estimate cardiorespiratory fitness using a submaximal treadmill walking protocol for middle age, older, sedenta...

BACKGROUND Although thermoregulation is effective in regulating body temperature under normal conditions, exercise or physical activity in extreme cold or heat exerts heavy stress on the mechanisms that regulate body temperature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of environmental temperature on physiological responses and endurance exercise capacity during submaximal and ...
