Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

Drying Behavior of Flax Stems at Different Degrees of Dew Retting Under Simulated Rainfall: Implications for Smart Agriculture and Sensor Development

Agriculture
Dew retting of flax stems is a key agricultural process which facilitates fiber extraction from parent stems. If sensors are to be developed to monitor the degree of retting for optimal fiber extraction, then stem characteristics such as water uptake and

Passive hyperthermia increases blood circulation in specific regions, largely independent of conduit artery mechanics and cardiac performance

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive hyperthermia increases net peripheral and systemic blood flow in humans and other animals, yet the underlying haemodynamic forces that selectively accelerate blood movement remain incompletely characterized. Wave intensity analysis offers insight into the respective contributions of the heart and the vascular system to changes in blood

NSAID ingestion augments training‐induced muscle hypertrophy and differentially affects muscle mRNA expression, but not strength gains, in trained men

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the impact of NSAID ingestion on resistance exercise training‐induced changes in muscle morphology, function and gene networks relative to placebo ingestion in trained males. Abstract Non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely overused in sports.

Resistance training load does not determine resistance training‐induced hypertrophy across upper and lower limbs in healthy young males

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In healthy young males, we found that skeletal muscle hypertrophy following a period of resistance exercise training (RET) was consistent within and between subjects, as assessed using a variety of established methods. The skeletal muscle hypertrophic response was independent of external load.

Physical, Chemical and Mechanical Characterization of Sida Rhombifolia Fibers from the Center Region of Cameroon for their potential use in textiles and composites

Journal of Natural Fibers
To substitute synthetic fibers, which are non-biodegradable and environmentally unfriendly, studies have been carried out to exploit vegetable fibers. Within this concept, this work investigates Sida rhombifolia as a case study.

The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia in high‐altitude deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The influence of haemoglobin–O2 affinity on aerobic capacity in hypoxia has been contentious. Many high‐altitude natives have greater haemoglobin–O2 affinity (lower P50, the O2 pressure at 50% haemoglobin saturation) than their low‐altitude counterparts, but the advantages of this change for aerobic metabolism have often remained

Characterization based on silt retting method for extracting fibers from waste coconut husks

Industrial Crops and Products
Against the backdrop of substantial global demand for natural fiber resources, coconut husk fiber, distinguished by its excellent properties, possesses promising application prospects; however, the current extraction and utilization rate of waste coconut

Caloric restriction and aerobic exercise differentially counteract muscle–tendon dysfunction following diet‐induced obesity in C57BL/6J mice

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Diet‐induced obesity induced fibro‐adipogenic remodelling of the muscle–tendon unit, characterized by increased fibrosis, reduced specific force, impaired relaxation kinetics, elevated hysteresis, and reduced aerobic capacity and glucose tolerance.

Application of an optimized pectinolytic bacterial consortium to boost hemp water retting

Industrial Crops and Products
The increasing interest on natural and ecological solutions, driven by environmental concerns and the growing popularity of natural materials, accelerated research into sustainable fibers. Hemp fibers are particularly notable due to its low environmental impact with respect to petroleum-based synthetic fibers, high production potential, and versatility.
