TL;DR: When rugby players play two consecutive Sevens matches, the exercise loading is thought to be hard, similar to that experienced during a marathon race and intensive or long training in a training camp, although the expected changes were not seen after the first match.

TL;DR: A competitive marathon race decreased neutrophil functions (oxidative burst activity and phagocytic activity) which may be partly due to a decrease in CD16 expression, which may reflect a compensatory response to counteract the decrease in neutrophils functions.

TL;DR: The intestinal bacteria, which convert daidzein to equol were present in both equol producers and non-producers, however, the relative abundance and the prevalence of Asaccharobacter celatus and Slackia isoflavoniconvertens were significantly higher inEquol producers than those in equol non- Producers.

TL;DR: Judo training induced a decrease in phagocytic activity through the lowered expression of CD11b and CD16 on the surface of neutrophils, and increased the oxidative burst activity of neutophils.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that the Clostridium species are associated with hydrogen production and the amount and constitution of colonic microflora might be predicted by the hydrogen-breath test using different DFs.
