Journal ArticleDOI
A novel myokine, secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), suppresses colon tumorigenesis via regular exercise
Wataru Aoi,Yuji Naito,Tomohisa Takagi,Yuko Tanimura,Y. Takanami,Yukari Kawai,Kunihiro Sakuma,Liu Po Hang,Katsura Mizushima,Yasuko Hirai,Ryota Koyama,Sayori Wada,Akane Higashi,Satoshi Kokura,Hiroshi Ichikawa,Toshikazu Yoshikawa +15 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that exercise stimulates SPARC secretion from muscle tissues and that SPARC inhibits colon tumorigenesis by increasing apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative stress and delayed-onset muscle damage after exercise
Wataru Aoi,Yuji Naito,Y. Takanami,Yukari Kawai,Kunihiro Sakuma,Hiroshi Ichikawa,Norimasa Yoshida,Toshikazu Yoshikawa +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that delayed-onset muscle damage induced by prolonged exercise is partly related to inflammation via phagocyte infiltration caused by ROS and that alpha-tocopherol (an antioxidant) can attenuate such inflammatory changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The microRNA miR-696 regulates PGC-1α in mouse skeletal muscle in response to physical activity
Wataru Aoi,Yuji Naito,Katsura Mizushima,Y. Takanami,Yukari Kawai,Hiroshi Ichikawa,Toshikazu Yoshikawa +6 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the response of the immune system to chemotherapy and its applications in Kyoto Prefectural University and Doshisha University patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Astaxanthin improves muscle lipid metabolism in exercise via inhibitory effect of oxidative CPT I modification
Wataru Aoi,Yuji Naito,Y. Takanami,Takeshi Ishii,Yukari Kawai,Satomi Akagiri,Yoji Kato,Toshihiko Osawa,Toshikazu Yoshikawa +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that astaxanthin promoted lipid metabolism rather than glucose utilization during exercise via CPT I activation, which led to improvement of endurance and efficient reduction of adipose tissue with training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute exercise increases fibroblast growth factor 21 in metabolic organs and circulation.
Yuko Tanimura,Yuko Tanimura,Wataru Aoi,Y. Takanami,Yukari Kawai,Katsura Mizushima,Yuji Naito,Toshikazu Yoshikawa +7 more
TL;DR: Results show that acute exercise increased the expression of fibroblast growth factor 21 in skeletal muscle, accompanied by the phosphorylation of Akt in mice, and induced the increase of serum fibro Blast Growth Factor 21 in both humans and mice.
