Interactive effects of age and hydration state on human thermoregulatory function during exercise in hot ‐dry conditions
ConclusionHypohydration attenuates heat loss via sweating in young but not middle ‐aged men, indicating that aging impairs one's ability to mitigate further sweat‐induced fluid loss during hypohydration.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Acta Physiologica)

Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger 1 is a Key Mechanosensitive Molecule of the Esophageal Myenteric Neurons
ConclusionsWe demonstrate a novel NCX1/Ca2+ pathway in the mechanosensitive neurons of rat and human esophagus, which may provide a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of esophageal motility disorders.This article is protected by copyright.

Role of melanocortin 4 receptor in hypertension induced by chronic intermittent hypoxia
ConclusionThese results show that obesity and the CNS melanocortin system interact in complex ways to elevate BP during CIH and that MC4R may be important in the ventilatory responses to hypercapnia.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Acta Physiologica)

Cachexia does not induce loss of myonuclei or muscle fibres during xenografted prostate cancer in mice
ConclusionThe data suggest that the cachexia induced by xenografted prostate tumours induces a pronounced atrophy not accompanied by a loss of myonuclei or a loss of muscle fibres. Thus, stem cell related treatment might be redundant, and the quest for treatment options should rather focus on intervening with intracellular pathways regulating muscle fibre size.

Energy efficient physiologic coupling of gait and respiration is altered in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
ConclusionThe novel finding was that increased energy expenditure was associated with stronger and less complex coupling. Increased effort is needed when utilizing a frequency ratio of 1:1 or 3:2. The more stable the coupling, the more effort it takes to walk. In contrast to the complex energy efficient coupling of controls, those with airflow obstruction manifested simpler and stronger coupling associated with reduced energy efficiency.This article is protected by copyright.

Exercise Training Remodels Human Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Fission and Fusion Machinery Towards a Pro ‐Elongation Phenotype
ConclusionsExercise training alters the expression of mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins, promoting a more fused, tubular network. These changes may contribute to the improvements in insulin sensitivity and substrate utilization that are observed after exercise training.This article is protected by copyright.
