An anti-doping perspective on nicotine detection in the peri-exercise period in a cohort of trained male cyclists

Current Research in Physiology, 2020
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the detection of nicotine in athletes: before vs. after 90 min exercise, and in serum vs. urine. Serum [cotinine] was not different before vs. after exercise (31 ± 14 vs.

Oxidative Stress–Driven Alterations in FoxO‐1 and MMP‐9 Activity in Smoking‐Associated Periodontitis

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Smoking disrupts oxidative balance and is a major risk factor for periodontitis. Forkhead box protein O‐1 (FoxO‐1) regulates antioxidant defense, yet its contribution to smoking‐associated periodontal breakdown is unclear. This cross‐sectional case–control study assessed reactive oxygen species (ROS), matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐

Metabolic pattern across energy imbalance: An exploratory metabolomics study of female body weight extremes including anorexia nervosa and athletes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In anorexia nervosa (AN), prolonged metabolic adaptation to severe energy deficiency can impair treatment efficacy. Similarly, low energy availability poses a recognized risk to athletes, potentially compromising health and performance. This cross‐sectional study aimed to characterize the plasma metabolic pattern of females with varying ...
