Muscle Carnosine Metabolism and β-Alanine Supplementation in Relation to Exercise and Training
TL;DR: Interestingly, muscle carnosine loading leads to improved performance in high-intensity exercise in both untrained and trained individuals, which suggests an important role of the dipeptide in the homeostasis of contracting muscle cells, especially during high rates of anaerobic energy delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
An EULAR study group pilot study on reliability of simple capillaroscopic definitions to describe capillary morphology in rheumatic diseases
Vanessa Smith,Vanessa Smith,Sam Beeckman,Ariane L. Herrick,Saskia Decuman,Ellen Deschepper,Filip De Keyser,Oliver Distler,Ivan Foeldvari,Francesca Ingegnoli,Ulf Müller-Ladner,Valeria Riccieri,Gabriela Riemekasten,Alberto Sulli,Alexandre E. Voskuyl,Maurizio Cutolo +15 more
TL;DR: This multicentre, international study showed moderate reliability of simple capillaroscopic definitions for describing morphology of capillaries by rheumatologists with varying levels of expertise.

TL;DR: In this paper, simple definitions of hairpin, tortuous or crossing were proposed for describing morphology of capillaries by rheumatologists with varying levels of expertise, and inter-rater agreement was assessed by calculation of proportion of agreement and by kappa coefficients.
Journal ArticleDOI

H. Cypers,G. Varkas,Sam Beeckman,Karlijn Debusschere,Thomas Vogl,Johannes Roth,Michael B. Drennan,Miha Lavric,Dirk Foell,Claude Cuvelier,M. De Vos,Joris R. Delanghe,F. Van den Bosch,Dirk Elewaut +13 more
TL;DR: Calprotectin measurements in stool and serum, in addition to CRP, may provide a promising strategy to identify patients with SpA at risk of bowel inflammation and could play a role in overall patient stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of sprint training combined with vegetarian or mixed diet on muscle carnosine content and buffering capacity
Audrey Baguet,Inge Everaert,Hélène De Naeyer,Harmen Reyngoudt,Sanne Stegen,Sam Beeckman,Eric Achten,Lander Vanhee,Anneke Volkaert,Mirko Petrovic,Youri Taes,Wim Derave +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that 5 weeks sprint training has no effect on the muscle carnosine content and carnosinesine synthase mRNA expression and muscle buffering capacity.
