Background Persistent inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic diseases
such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Aims The aim …

Exercise-induced muscle damage is an important topic in exercise physiology. However,
several aspects of our understanding of how muscles respond to highly stressful exercise …

Purpose This study aimed to assess the prevalence and time course of asynchronies during
mechanical ventilation (MV). Methods Prospective, noninterventional observational study of …

Skeletal muscle has recently been identified as an endocrine organ. It has, therefore, been
suggested that cytokines and other peptides that are produced, expressed, and released by …

In a previous paper, as the first of a series of three on the importance of characteristics and
modalities of physical activity (PA) and exercise in the management of cardiovascular health …

Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the body. Skeletal muscles are primarily
characterized by their mechanical activity required for posture, movement, and breathing …

The response of skeletal muscle to unaccustomed eccentric exercise has been studied
widely, yet it is incompletely understood. This review is intended to provide an up‐to‐date …

It is now recognized that contracting skeletal muscle may synthesize and release interleukin-
6 (IL-6) into the interstitium as well as into the systemic circulation in response to a bout of …

Psychological stress has been proposed as a major contributor to the progression of
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Acute mental stress can activate the sympathetic-adrenal …

Eccentric exercise commonly results in muscle damage. The primary sequence of events
leading to exercise-induced muscle damage is believed to involve initial mechanical …
