Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid oxidation is reduced in obese human skeletal muscle
TL;DR: The data suggest that lesions at CPT-1 and post-CPT-1 events, such as mitochondrial content, contribute to the reduced reliance on fat oxidation evident in human skeletal muscle with obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eccentric exercise induces transient insulin resistance in healthy individuals
John P. Kirwan,Robert C. Hickner,K. E. Yarasheski,Wendy M. Kohrt,B. V. Wiethop,J. O. Holloszy +5 more
TL;DR: Exercise that results in muscle damage, as reflected in muscle soreness and enzyme leakage, is followed by a period of insulin resistance, showing that exercise that induces muscle damage also results in insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolonged exercise decreases serum leptin concentrations

TL;DR: The results suggest that the negative energy balance of exercise can reduce serum leptin concentrations, but that the significant decrease occurs only at extremes of severity/duration of the exercise-induced negative balance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D and Endothelial Function
TL;DR: The diverse activities of vitamin D in regulating NO bioavailability and endothelial function are discussed, including restraining NO and eNOS bioactivity and upregulating the expression of various atherosclerotic factors through the NF-κB pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower skeletal muscle capillarization and VEGF expression in aged vs. young men
Nicholas A. Ryan,Kevin A. Zwetsloot,Lenna M. Westerkamp,Robert C. Hickner,Walter E. Pofahl,Timothy P. Gavin +5 more
TL;DR: Results confirm that skeletal muscle capillarization and VEGF expression are lower in aged compared with young men and exercise increased muscle VEGf mRNA and protein and KDR mRNA independent of age group.
