Open AccessNoninvasive monitoring of deterioration in skeletal muscle function with forearm cast immobilization and the prevention of deterioration
In this research inactivity was simulated by immobilizing the forearm region in a plaster cast. Changes in skeletal muscle oxidative function were measured using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and the prev...

Open AccessMuscle oxidative metabolism accelerates with mild acidosis during incremental intermittent isometric plantar flexion exercise
It has been thought that intramuscular ADP and phosphocreatine (PCr) concentrations are important regulators of mitochondorial respiration. There is a threshold work rate or metabolic rate for cellular acidosi...

Open AccessLow-volume muscular endurance and strength training during 3-week forearm immobilization was effective in preventing functional deterioration
The purpose of this study was to determine whether endurance and strength hand grip exercises during 3-week upper limb immobilization preserve muscle oxidative capacity, endurance performance and strength.

Open AccessLocal increase in trapezius muscle oxygenation during and after acupuncture
This study aimed to compare the trapezius muscle blood volume and oxygenation in the stimulation region and in a distant region in the same muscle during acupuncture stimulation (AS). We hypothesized that AS p...

Open AccessA study of passive weight-bearing lower limb exercise effects on local muscles and whole body oxidative metabolism: a comparison with simulated horse riding, bicycle, and walking exercise
We have developed an exercise machine prototype for increasing exercise intensity by means of passively exercising lower limb muscles. The purpose of the present study was to compare the passive exercise inten...

Open AccessThe effects of low-repetition and light-load power training on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women with sarcopenia: a pilot study
Age-related reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) is generally accelerated in women after menopause, and could be even more pronounced in individuals with sarcopenia. Light-load power training with a low num...

Open AccessThe effects of phenylalanine on exercise-induced fat oxidation: a preliminary, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial
When combined with exercise, dietary amino acid (AA) supplementation is an effective method for accelerating fat mobilization. However, the effects of single AAs combined with exercise on fat oxidation remains...

Open AccessMouth rinsing with a carbohydrate solution attenuates exercise-induced decline in executive function
A decline in executive function could have a negative influence on the control of actions in dynamic situations, such as sports activities. Mouth rinsing with a carbohydrate solution could serve as an effectiv...

Near-Infrared Spatially Resolved Spectroscopy as an Indirect Technique to Assess Brown Adipose Tissue in Young Women
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has recently been proposed as an indirect technique to assess brown adipose tissue (BAT) in young men. NIRS arises as a novel technique to avoid the limitations of the “gold-s...

Open AccessRelationships between plasma lipidomic profiles and brown adipose tissue density in humans
The thermogenic function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) is generally activated in winter and tightly regulated through various metabolic processes. However, the mechanisms mediating these changes have not been ...

Open AccessGenetic evidence for involvement of β2-adrenergic receptor in brown adipose tissue thermogenesis in humans
Sympathetic activation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis can ameliorate obesity and related metabolic abnormalities. However, crucial subtypes of the β-adrenergic receptor (AR), as well as effects of...
