Ovarian hormone loss modifies the nucleic acid cargo of circulating extracellular vesicles and skeletal muscle metabolism after acute exercise in rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Loss of ovarian hormones (i.e., menopause) leads to negative effects on metabolic health. While exercise offers significant benefits, it seems to be insufficient to completely reverse these changes. The mechanisms by which exercise conveys the effects throughout the body are still poorly understood.

URINARY AND SEXUAL MANIFESTATIONS OF PATIENTS INFECTED BY HTLV-I [PDF]

Clinics, 2007
HTLV-I is considered to be a virus of low morbidity, since the principal diseases associated with this viral infection, HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), are observed in less than 5% of infected individuals. Urinary symptoms are frequent in patients with myelopathy and consist
