Glycoprotein Matrix-Bound Iron Improves Absorption Compared to Ferrous Bisglycinate Chelate and Ferrous Fumarate: A Randomized Crossover Trial Open
Introduction The biotransformation of minerals through glycosylation by microorganisms, such as yeast or probiotics, can produce nutrients bound to a food matrix, potentially enhancing their bioavailability. This study aimed to compare the…

Glycoprotein Matrix Zinc Exhibits Improved Absorption: A Randomized Crossover Trial Open
Biotransformation of minerals via glycosylation by microorganisms such as yeast and/or probiotics yields nutrients bound to a food matrix, resulting in increased bioavailability. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of glyc…

Decreased Neuromuscular Function and Muscle Quality along with Increased Systemic Inflammation and Muscle Proteolysis Occurring in the Presence of Decreased Estradiol and Protein Intake in Early to Intermediate Post-Menopausal Women Open
Menopause causes a reduction in estradiol (E2) and may be associated with neuromuscular degeneration. Compared to pre-menopausal (PRE-M) women, this study sought to determine dietary protein intake and whether lower levels of circulating E…

Sex‐related differences in motor unit behavior are influenced by myosin heavy chain during high‐ but not moderate‐intensity contractions Open
Aims Motor unit recruitment and firing rate patterns of the vastus lateralis (VL) have not been compared between sexes during moderate‐ and high‐intensity contraction intensities. Additionally, the influence of fiber composition on potenti…

Effects of Endurance Cycling on Mechanomyographic Median Power Frequency of the Vastus Lateralis Open
This study examined the effects of cycling training on mechanomyographic median power frequency (MMGMDF)–torque relationships of the vastus lateralis (VL). Ten males (Age ± SD; 20.20 ± 1.87 years) and 14 females (21.93 ± 5.33 years) perfor…

Method of analysis influences interpretations of sex-related differences in firing rates during prolonged submaximal isometric contractions. Open
Analysis method may impact interpretation of firing rate behavior; increases in MU firing rates across a prolonged isometric contraction were observed in the MFR vs. TREC relationship and the grouped MFR analysis.
