Journal ArticleDOI
IGF-I polymorphism is associated with lean mass, exercise economy, and exercise performance among premenopausal women.
TL;DR: Independent of AFADM, individuals with IGF-I189 are more likely to have low leg lean mass and to perform better in activities requiring exercise economy and endurance performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pre- and postnatal effects of photoperiod on collared lemmings (Dicrostonyx groenlandicus)
TL;DR: Information received during LACT influenced growth and the presence of the bifid claw at weaning and parameters measured at 10 wk postweaning reflected the change in photoperiod experienced between GEST and 16:8.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of 6-month supplementation with β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate, glutamine and arginine on vascular endothelial function of older adults.
TL;DR: It is suggested that dietary supplementation of HMB, glutamine and arginine may favorably affect vascular endothelial function in older adults, and whether reduced inflammation or other mechanisms may underlie the benefits of supplementation is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of collared lemmings, Dicrostonyx groenlandicus, is influenced by pre- and postweaning photoperiods.
TL;DR: Observations suggest that, in the collared lemming, the neural and/or humoral factors regulating somatic and reproductive characters differ in their response to photoperiod, and suggest that the postweaning responses toPhotoperiod are programmed by earlier (gestational and/ or neonatal) Photoperiod exposure of the mother and/Or the neonates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences emerge in visceral adipose tissue accumulation after selection for innate cardiovascular fitness
TL;DR: This study affirms previous findings that CRF is an important determinant of the accumulation of VAT, and this relationship is independent of physical activity.
