Plasma vitamins, amino acids, and renal function in postexercise hyperhomocysteinemia.

30 Jul 2009 Several studies have assessed the effect of the physical activity on plasma homocysteine (Hcy) concentrations, although the findings have been contradictory, and the exact mechanism by which plasma Hcy concentrations varied after an acute intense ... Read more...

Dietary protein digestion and absorption rates and the subsequent postprandial muscle protein synthetic response do not differ between young and elderly men.

20 Jul 2009 Impaired digestion and/or absorption of dietary protein lowers postprandial plasma amino acid availability and, as such, could reduce the postprandial muscle protein synthetic response in the elderly. We aimed to compare in vivo dietary protein ... Read more...

L-Citrulline ameliorates chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in newborn piglets.

15 Jul 2009 Newborn piglets develop pulmonary hypertension and have diminished pulmonary vascular nitric oxide (NO) production when exposed to chronic hypoxia. NO is produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in the pulmonary vascular endothelium using ... Read more...
