One day of environment‐induced heat stress causes injury to the murine kidney

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environment‐induced heat stress (EIHS) results from sustained body temperature elevation owing to prolonged exposure to heat and humidity. We hypothesized that EIHS would cause kidney injury and cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, female C57 mice were exposed to EIHS (n = 14; 37.6°C, 42.0% relative humidity) or thermoneutral (TN ...

Skeletal muscle‐specific myostatin overexpression promotes muscle oxidative capacity and fatigue resistance in transgenic mice

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In addition to controlling muscle mass, myostatin may support oxidative metabolism and endurance. Loss of function through gene knockout or post‐natal blockade generally lowers muscle oxidative capacity and increases fatigability. These observations imply that myostatin activation could promote a more oxidative and less fatigable muscle ...

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

High‐altitude headache: Insights into pathophysiology and potential treatment implications

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend High‐altitude headache occurs during prolonged exposure to low oxygen, such as during ascent to high altitude. Several risk factors increase its likelihood, with the degree of hypoxia, often driven by rapid ascent to greater altitudes, being the most prominent factor.

Reduced cardiovascular mortality at moderate altitude: a putative role of physical activity and body mass

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...
