Both ADAM17, the secretase responsible for the shedding of ectodomains of numerous membrane proteins including TNF and its receptors, as well as nitric oxide synthesized by inducible nitric oxide synthase play regulatory roles in inflammation and tumor progression. We analyzed the effect of endogenous and exogenous nitric oxide on the expression and activity of ADAM17 in murine endothelial cells...
For the last decade there have been considerable discussion concerning the linearity / non-linearity of the oxygen uptake (O2) - power output (W) relationship with strong experimental evidence of non-linearity provided mainly by breath-by-breath measurements. In this study, we attempted to answer the question whether the O2 - W relationship in the Åstrand nomogram, as presented in the Textbook of...
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the content of various types of myosin heavy chain isoforms (MyHC) in the vastus lateralis muscle and pulmonary oxygen uptake during moderate power output incremental exercise, performed at low and at high pedalling rates. Twenty one male subjects (mean ± SD) aged 24.1 ± 2.8 years; body mass 72.9 ± 7.2 kg; height 179.1 ± 4.8 cm; BMI 22...
Background: Although hormonal responses to exercise performed in fed state are well documented, far less in known about the effect of a single exercise bout, performed after overnight fasting, on cardio-respiratory responses and hormones secretion. It has been reported that recently discovered hormones as leptin and ghrelin may affect cardiovascular responses at rest. However, their effect on the...
In this study we have examined the relationship between the content of different isoforms of MyHC in the vastus lateralis m. quadricipitis femoris and the VO2 / power output relationship during incremental cycling exercise. Twenty-one male subjects: aged 24.0 ± 2.5 years, body mass 73.0 ± 7.2 kg, height 179 ± 5 cm, BMI 22.78 ± 1.84 kg . m-2 , VO2 max 3697 ± 390 ml . min-1 , 50.9 ± 5.2 ml . kg-1 ....
Strenuous exercise was reported to involve the alteration in the release of some "stress" hormones such as growth hormone (GH), cortisol, catecholamines and appropriate adjustment of energy metabolism but the relative contribution of these hormones to metabolic response, to cycling exercise performed at different muscle shortening velocities, has not been clarified. Aims: The purpose of...
