Longitudinal hypertrophic and transcriptional responses to high‐load eccentric‐concentric vs concentric training in males

Responses to eccentric and concentric resistance training in females and males.

The adaptive responses to 12 weeks of accommodated resistance training were compared in females (n = 11) and males (n = 11). They performed four to five sets of six maximum bilateral coupled concentric and eccentric quadriceps muscle actions at 1.05 rad s-1 three times per week. Uni- and bilateral concentric and eccentric peak torque at different angular velocities (0.52, 1.57 and 2.62 rad s-1)...

transcriptional responses to cinnamaldehyde in mycobacterium tuberculosis

results results of the current study showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration value of cinnamaldehyde against m. tuberculosis was 200 µg/ml. moreover, rt-pcr data showed that a total of 25 genes were regulated by the cinnamaldehyde. of these, 12 genes were up-regulated, and 13 genes were down-regulated. conclusions cinnamaldehyde is a pattern to expand the new anti-tb drugs, because the...

Training-specific functional, neural, and hypertrophic adaptations to explosive- vs. sustained-contraction strength training.

Training specificity is considered important for strength training, although the functional and underpinning physiological adaptations to different types of training, including brief explosive contractions, are poorly understood. This study compared the effects of 12 wk of explosive-contraction (ECT, n = 13) vs. sustained-contraction (SCT, n = 16) strength training vs. control (n = 14) on the f...

Testicular Biopsy in Males With Infertility: A Longitudinal Study

Background & objective: Regarding the importance of histologic examination of testicular biopsy for clinical planning of infertility, the current study was conducted to compare 2 separate histologic examination of testicular biopsy. Also, some cases with known fertility outcome were followed and their histological patterns were also compared with those of the outcome. ...
