Journal ArticleDOI

Smoking impairs muscle protein synthesis and increases the expression of myostatin and MAFbx in muscle

TL;DR: It is concluded that smoking impairs the muscle protein synthesis process and increases the expression of genes associated with impaired muscle maintenance; smoking therefore likely increases the risk of sarcopenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impaired production of proinflammatory cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation in elderly humans

TL;DR: In this article, age-related changes in levels of early mediators of the acute-phase response in whole blood supernatants following LPS stimulation, representing an ex vivo model of sepsis, were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute interleukin-6 administration does not impair muscle glucose uptake or whole-body glucose disposal in healthy humans.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that acute IL‐6 administration does not impair whole‐body glucose disposal, net leg‐glucose uptake, or increase endogenous glucose production at rest in healthy young humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endurance training reduces the contraction-induced interleukin-6 mRNA expression in human skeletal muscle.

TL;DR: The magnitude of the exercise-induced IL-6 mRNA expression in contracting human skeletal muscle was markedly reduced by 10 wk of training.
Journal Article

Human T cell responses induced by vaccination with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin.

TL;DR: The study shows that BCG vaccination of previously nonsensitized donors can provide important data on potentially protective immune responses in humans and suggest a careful evaluation of prevaccination sensitivity when investigating vaccine-induced immunity.
