These results suggest that chronic H diet feeding for 32 wk mimics the diet-induced cardiovascular and metabolic changes in middle age and that chia seed may serve as an alternative dietary strategy in the management of these changes....

We searched Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of chocolate, cocoa, or flavan-3-ols. We contacted authors for additional data and conducted duplicate assessment of study inclusion, data extraction, validity, and random-effects meta-analyses....

We therefore reviewed the literature to identify landmark randomized controlled trials evaluating the effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma agonists (pioglitazone and rosiglitazone), alpha agonists (fenofibrate and gemfibrozil), and pan agonists (bezafibrate, muraglitazar, ragag...

A potential cause of such emergent issues as cardiac arrhythmias, hypotension, and fluid and electrolyte shifts, accidental hypothermia can be deadly, is common among trauma patients, and is often difficult to recognize. The author discusses predisposing conditions, the classic prese...

We will summarize the latest developments regarding the association of bacteria with vascular cell types: infections as a risk factor for atherosclerosis; bacterial invasion of vascular cell types; the atherogenic sequelae of bacterial presence such as endothelial activation and blood clotting; and...

This study aimed to identify whether reductions in peak oxygen uptake (VO₂(peak)) dictate performance outcomes during 30 min of self-paced exercise in the heat, which is expected to induce minimal hyperthermia. On 4 occasions, 11 male subjects completed peak and self-paced exercise...

Equicaloric bouts of interval (IE: 5 × 2:2 min at 85% and 40% maximal oxygen uptake) and steady state (SS: 21 min at 60% maximal oxygen uptake) exercise were performed by 13 older prehypertensive males on separate days, at equivalent times of day, to assess the influence of exercise...
