“Shaking the ladder” reveals how analytic choices can influence associations in nutrition epidemiology: beef intake and coronary heart disease as a case study Open
Nutrition epidemiological models involve many analytic decisions, such as defining exposures, selecting which covariates to include, or configuring variables in different ways. We explored the impact of analytical decisions on conclusions …

A pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility of a sham anti-inflammatory diet: Can inflammation neutrality and participant blinding be achieved? Open
Context: While randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials are the gold standard for investigating the effects of dietary interventions, the complexity of designing such trials has limited their use. Study Design: Single centre, ra…

Kynurenine metabolism is altered in <i>mdx</i> mice: a potential muscle to brain connection Open
New Findings What is the central question in this study? Promoting muscle health with regular aerobic exercise can improve mental health through a kynurenine metabolic pathway: do conditions of muscle disease such as muscular dystrophy neg…

Kynurenine metabolism is altered in <i>mdx</i> mice: a potential muscle to brain connection Open
Regular exercise can direct muscle kynurenine (KYN) metabolism toward the neuroprotective branch of the kynurenine pathway thereby limiting the accumulation of neurotoxic metabolites in the brain and contributing to mental resilience. Whil…

SEX HORMONES AND ARTHRITIS IN A LONG-LIVED ANIMAL MODEL, THE ELEPHANT Open
Arthritis affects women more so than men, particularly after menopause. Sex hormones may play a role in arthritis development, yet this is still unclear. Elephants have a similar lifespan to humans and develop arthritis and joint issues (m…

A Multi-Ingredient Nutritional Supplement in Combination With Resistance Exercise and High-Intensity Interval Training Improves Cognitive Function and Increases N-3 Index in Healthy Older Men: A Randomized Controlled Trial Open
We aimed to evaluate the effect of multi-ingredient nutritional supplementation, with and without exercise training, on cognitive function in healthy older men. Forty-nine sedentary men [age: 73 ± 6 years (mean ± SD); body mass index: 28.5…

Exercise training impacts skeletal muscle gene expression related to the kynurenine pathway Open
Exercise positively impacts mood and symptoms of depression; however, the mechanisms underlying these effects are not fully understood. Recent evidence highlights a potential role for skeletal muscle-derived transcription factors to influe…

Swimming Training Attenuates Allodynia and Hyperalgesia Induced by Peripheral Nerve Injury in an Adult Male Rat Neuropathic Model: Effects on Irisin and GAD65 Open
Our findings showed that four weeks of swimming training produce beneficial rehabilitative effects on neuropathic pain symptoms. The analgesic effect of swimming training is partially related to the increase of GAD65. The beneficial role o…
