Resistance exercise breaks during prolonged sitting augment the blood flow response to a subsequent oral glucose load in sedentary adults

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 6, Page 3082-3098, 1 June 2026.
Abstract Sitting‐induced impairments in postprandial blood flow are an important link between sedentary behaviour and cardiometabolic disease risk. The objective of this work was to examine the effects of resistance exercise breaks (REB) performed every 30 min during an otherwise sedentary 3‐h period on the vasodilatory response to a subsequent oral ...

Report results: Impact of whole‐body resistance exercise timing on mitigating hyperglycaemia‐induced vascular dysfunction in healthy adults

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 1657-1668, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Postprandial hyperglycaemia is characterized by elevated blood glucose levels following a meal and is associated with impaired vascular endothelial function. Regular exercise has been shown to preserve and improve vascular endothelial function.

Evidence for early endothelial dysfunction associated with the ALDH2 rs671 gene variant: A preliminary investigation with young East Asians

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 1636-1642, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a mitochondrial enzyme that plays an important role in aldehyde detoxification. A large percentage (30–50%) of the East Asian population carry a single point mutation in the ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*2 variant) that causes a severe reduction or lack of ALDH2 enzyme activity, and leads to disrupted cellular ...

Tierra de Quipus

, 2013
El quipu es un sistema de registro, personas, y posiblemente de historias y narraciones. Su historia precede al menos en medio milenio al Tawantinsuyu, pero fue con los Incas que alcanzó su máxima expresión, para después de la conquista española perder ...

Brachial blood flow and pressure responses are unrelated to the greater isometric handgrip tolerance of females compared to males

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, April 2026.
Abstract Isometric handgrip (IHG) training lowers blood pressure (BP), but sex differences in fatigability may be confounding. We hypothesized that the greater time‐to‐fatigue during IHG in females would relate to preserved brachial blood flow, with males exhibiting reductions in flow.
