Journal ArticleDOI

Carbohydrate ingestion influences skeletal muscle cytokine mRNA and plasma cytokine levels after a 3-h run.

TL;DR: Sixteen experienced marathoners ran on treadmills for 3 h at ∼70% maximal oxygen consumption (V˙o 2 max) on two occasions while receiving 1 l/h carbohydrate (CHO) or placebo (Pla) beverages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 and cachexia in ApcMin/+ mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IL-6 is necessary for the onset of adipose and skeletal muscle wasting in the Apc(Min/+) mouse and that circulating IL- 6 can regulate Apc (Min/+)/IL-6(-/-) mouse tumor burden.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Protein Turnover during the Progression of Cancer Cachexia in the ApcMin/+ Mouse

TL;DR: The %MPS reduction during the initiation of cachesxia is associated with IGF-1/mTOR signaling repression, while muscle AMPK activation and activation of ATP independent protein degradation occur later in the progression of cachexia.
Journal ArticleDOI

CARBOHYDRATE INGESTION INFLUENCES SKELETAL MUSCLE CYTOKINE mRNA AND PLASMA CYTOKINE LEVELS AFTER A 3-H RUN

TL;DR: CHO compared with Pla beverage ingestion attenuates the increase in plasma IL-6, IL-10, and IL-1ra and gene expression for IL-8 in athletes running 3 h at 70% Vo(2 max) despite no differences in muscle glycogen content.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-6 regulation on skeletal muscle mitochondrial remodeling during cancer cachexia in the Apc Min/+ mouse

TL;DR: Altered expression of proteins regulating mitochondrial biogenesis and fusion are early events in the initiation of cachexia regulated by IL-6, which precede the loss of muscle mitochondrial content, and can be rescued with moderate exercise training even in the presence of high circulating IL- 6 levels.
