Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is one of the essential cofactors required for the proper function of living cells, and depletion in NAD has been correlated to aging individuals as NAD is associated with oxidative stress and energy production. Per the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), it
Creatine and caffeine are among the most popular ergogenic aids used by exercising individuals. Creatine supplementation during resistance training has been shown to increase muscle mass and muscle performance (i.e. strength, endurance), possibly by influencing high-energy phosphate metabolism,
Benefits and importance of CoQ10 for the human health:
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenously produced lipid-soluble molecule of the human organism that is considered an essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain where it is the electron acceptor for complexes I and II. In
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for advanced and metastatic PCa and nearly 400,000 men remain on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced PCa in the U.S. Unfortunately, ADT also induces a decrease in
Mitochondria are the primary source of energy within the cell, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mitochondrial ATP production is tightly regulated according to the energy requirements of the cell, but little is known about the underlying control mechanisms. This is important for the
Background: Phototherapy is a therapeutic resource of increasing use in the last decade. The photobiomodulatory effects are produced by sources of low-level lasers or light- emitting diode (LEDT), and their tissue effects are equivalent. The application of this therapeutic resource brings ergogenic
Patients: Patients with upper and lower gastrointestinal cancer for planned resectional surgery will be recruited. Patients will be identified by the clinical team at the relevant multidisciplinary team meeting and then approached for study information and consent in the surgical clinic.
Caffeine is routinely administered to extremely preterm neonates as a respiratory stimulant to prevent or treat apnea of prematurity, or prolonged pauses in breathing in preterm babies. Caffeine, a methylxanthine, is an adenosine receptor antagonist that has the effects of relaxing smooth muscle in
BACKGROUND
Energy insufficiency:
Mitochondrial and metabolic myopathies are inherited diseases compromising cellular energy metabolism, which especially affects skeletal muscle because of its high energy needs. Chemical energy is stored in the body as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is derived
The incidence of traumatic brain injury is widespread. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that 1.7 million TBIs occur each year and that TBI is a contributing factor in about 30% of all injury-related deaths. In addition, about 75% of these TBIs are concussions, or mild TBIs (mTBI). However,
Primary Objectives Aim #1: To determine the impact of 12+12 weeks of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)+FES-LEC on oxygen uptake, insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in adults with SCI compared to control + FES-LEC.
Aim #2: To determine the impact of 12+12 weeks of NMES+FES-LEC on
Heart failure (HF) is epidemic with aging and prevalence of HF is steadily increasing as the population of older adults expands. Despite the fact that age always stands out as a leading risk factor for HF incidence as well as for poor HF prognosis, few HF trials focus specifically on aging
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating and complex condition characterized by profound fatigue of unknown cause, which is permanent and limits the person's functional capacity, producing various degrees of disability. It seems that inadequate or impaired energy provision through cellular
Rationale:
The rational for using near-infrared LEDs is two-fold: 1) These wavelengths have been shown to improve adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, especially in hypoxic or compromised cells. 2) Recent studies in humans have also shown an increase in regional cerebral blood flow subjacent to
Hypotheses:
1. The efficacy of antivirals in patients with EVD should correlate negatively with time since first symptoms. Thus, in this proof of concept trial, the main analysis will be done in adult patients with early symptoms in whom the efficacy is expected to be the highest;
2. Favipiravir for
