Introduction: Oxidative stress (OS) results from the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), being responsible for development numerous pathologies. Resveratrol (3,5,4’- trihydroxystilbene) is a naturally occurring antioxidant, produced by wide variety fruit and plant species, in response to several stimuli. Due its anti-inflammatory, cardio, neuroprotective properties, this polyphenol...

OBJECTIVE Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease caused by the deterioration of cartilage in joints, which results in activation of the inflammatory response, pain, and impaired movement. Complementary therapies, particularly supplementation, in the management of moderate/severe knee OA have been gaining attention. This registry study aimed at evaluating the synergistic effect of Movardo...

BACKGROUND Creatine supplementation is known to exert an effect by increasing strength in high intensity and short duration exercises. There is a hypothesis which suggests that creatine supplementation may provide antioxidant activity by scavenging Reactive Oxygen Species. However, the antioxidant effect of creatine supplementation associated with resistance training has not yet been described ...

For most living beings, oxygen is an essential molecule for survival, being the basis of biological oxidations, which satisfy energy needs aerobic organisms. Oxygen can also behave as a toxic agent posing threat to existence beings since it give rise reactive species (ROS) that oxidise macromolecules, among proteins and lipids are preferred targets. Oxidative damage induce cell, tissue, organ d...

In this work, we regulated the oxygen vacancy concentration by sintering BCZT + 0.1 mol % Y Nb [BCZT-0.1 (Y Nb)] ceramics under air, oxygen, argon, and vacuum atmospheres examined effect of on phase composition, crystal structure, microstructure, electrical properties. X-ray photoelectron spectrometry diffraction Rietveld refinement showed that air- oxygen-sintered ceramic samples had lower con...

Nitrate supplementation appears to be most ergogenic when oxygen availability is restricted and subsequently may be particularly beneficial for swimming performance due to the breath-hold element of this sport. This represents the first investigation of nitrate supplementation and swimming time-trial (TT) performance. In a randomized double-blind repeated-measures crossover study, ten (5 male, ...

BACKGROUND Ingestion of creatine (Cr) and glycerol (Gly) has been reported to be an effective method in expanding water compartments within the human body, attenuating the rise in heart rate (HR) and core temperature (Tcore) during exercise in the heat. Despite these positive effects, a substantial water retention could potentially impair endurance performance through increasing body mass (BM) ...

BACKGROUND Exercise training is known to increase fat utilization during exercise. Diets containing antioxidants and branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) are also reported to have potential effects on fat utilization. Cashew apple juice (CAJ) comprises many nutritional components including vitamin C and BCAAs. This study aimed to investigate the effect of CAJ supplementation on substrate utilizatio...

Supplemental oxygen is a marvelous “drug,” with several rather unique beneficial physiologic effects. It produces well-documented long-term benefits when administered to hypoxemic patients. A multi-billion-dollar industry has been established to provide supplemental oxygen to those for whom it is indicated. Nevertheless, research into the effectiveness (especially in the long term) of different...

Anaemia is a common and multifactorial blood disorder in elderly individuals. This condition may be significant barrier to pressure ulcers healing as it associated with decreased level of oxygen being supplied body tissues. Some nutritional deficiencies such iron, vitamin B12 folate also cause anaemia have negative impact on ulcer healing. An increased iron demand hard-to-heal factor the risk c...
