Oat protein modulates cholesterol metabolism and improves cardiac systolic function in high fat, high sucrose fed rats
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Oats are recognized to provide many health benefits that are mainly associated with its dietary fibre, β-glucan. However, the protein derived from oats is largely understudied with respect to its ability to maintain health and attenuate risk factors of chronic diseases. The goal of the current study was to investigate the metabolic effects of oat protein consumption in lieu of casein as the protein source in high fat, high sucrose (HF/HS) fed Wistar rats. Four-week-old rats were divided into three groups and were fed three different experimental diets: a contr...

Developmental changes in motor unit activity patterns: child-adult comparison using discrete motor unit analysis
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Using global surface electromyography (sEMG) and the sEMG threshold it has been suggested that children activate their type-II motor unit (MU) to a lesser extent compared with adults. However, when age-related differences in discrete MU activation are examined using sEMG decomposition this phenomenon is not observed. Furthermore, findings from these studies are inconsistent and conflicting. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine differences in discrete MU activation of the vastus lateralis (VL) between boys and men during moderate-intensity knee ex...

Sports drinks do not increase acute kidney injury risk in males during industrial work in the heat when euhydration is maintained, a randomized crossover trial
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Industrial workers regularly perform physical labor under high heat stress, which may place them at risk for dehydration and acute kidney injury. Current guidelines recommend that workers should consume sports drinks to maintain euhydration during work shifts. However, the impact of fructose sweetened sports drinks on acute kidney injury risk is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sports drink consumption on markers of acute kidney injury following simulated industrial work in the heat. Twenty males completed two matched 2 h sim...

Safety and efficacy of a probiotic cocktail containing P. acidilactici and L. plantarum for gastrointestinal discomfort in endurance runners: randomized double-blinded crossover clinical trial
This study assessed safety and efficacy of a probiotic in altering the intestinal milieu and mitigating gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) in endurance runners. In a double blind, crossover study, 16 runners were randomized to 4 weeks of daily supplementation with a probiotic cocktail containing Pediococcus acidilactici bacteria and Lactobacillus plantarum or placebo. Fasting blood and stool samples were collected for measurement of gut permeability markers, immune parameters, and microbiome analyses. Treadmill run tests were performed before and after treatment; participants ran at 65% –70% of VO2max at 27 °C for a maxim...

Effect of daylong exposure to indoor overheating on autophagy and the cellular stress response in older adults
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. To protect vulnerable populations during heat waves, public health agencies recommend maintaining indoor air temperature below ∼24–28 °C. While we recently demonstrated that maintaining indoor temperatures ≤26 °C mitigates the development of hyperthermia and cardiovascular strain in older adults, the cellular consequences of prolonged indoor heat stress are poorly understood. We therefore evaluated the cellular str ess response in 16 adults (six females) aged 66–78 years during 8 h rest in ambient conditions simulating homes maintained at 22 °C (con...

Effects of pre-exercise intake of plant- and animal-based foods on arterial function and aerobic exercise capacity in healthy young men: a randomized cross-over trial
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of plant- versus animal-based food intake before exercise on arterial function and subsequent aerobic exercise capacity. Eleven healthy adult males (mean age, 22.6  ± 1.8 years) participated in this study. A plant- or animal-based randomized meal type crossover comparison was conducted on separate days with a uniform protein, fat, and carbohydrate balance. Both carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), femoral–ankle pulse wave velocity (faPWV), and b rachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) wer...

Increasing aerobic exercise intensity fails to consistently improve the glycemic response in people living with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes mellitus: the INTENSITY trial
The objectives were to (i) identify responders and non-responders based on changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in individuals with prediabetes or T2DM following 16 weeks of aerobic exercise; (ii) investigate if increasing exercise intensity enhances the responders ’ status for individuals not previously responding favourably to the intervention. Participants (n = 40; age = 58.0 years (52.0–66.0); HbA1c = 7.0% (6.0–7.2)) engaged in a two-phase, randomized study design. During phase one, participants performed 16 weeks of treadmill-based, supervised , aerobic exercise at 4.5 metabolic equivalents (METs) for 15...

Sex differences in muscle-quality recovery following one week of knee joint immobilization and subsequent retraining
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. This manuscript represents the second phase of a clinical trial designed to examine the effects of knee joint immobilization and retraining on muscle strength and mass. In Phase 2, we examined sex differences in the recovery of multiple indices of muscle quality after a resistance training-based rehabilitation program. Following 1 week of immobilization, 27 participants (16 males, 11 females) exhibiting weakness underwent twice weekly resistance training sessions designed to re-strengthen their left knee. Unilateral retraining sessions utilizing leg press, exte...

Interactive effects of low-volume interval exercise and nutrition on glycemic control
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Low-volume interval training has been demonstrated to improve indices of 24 h glycemic control using continuous glucose monitoring in individuals with or at risk for metabolic diseases. Nonetheless, there are inconsistencies in the literature with respect to the effects of interval exercise on 24 h glycemia, which may partly result from different nutritional conditions and/or controls adopted across various studies. This current opinion aims to provide a concise overview of the effects of acute and chronic interval exercise on 24 h glycemic control, while also ...

Effects of ingesting beverages containing glycerol and sodium with isomaltulose or sucrose on fluid retention in young adults: a single-blind, randomized crossover trial
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. We evaluated changes in hyperhydration and beverage hydration index (BHI, a composite measure of fluid balance after consuming a test beverage relative to water) during resting, induced by the consumption of beverages containing glycerol and sodium supplemented with fast-absorbing sucrose or slow-absorbing isomaltulose. In a randomized crossover, single-blinded protocol (clinical trials registry: UMIN000042644), 14 young physically active adults (three women) consumed 1  L of beverage containing either 7% glycerol + 0.5% sodium (Gly + Na), Gly + Na plus ...
