Objective This study explored the interaction among ACTN3 R577X polymorphism, muscle damage, and post-exercise inflammatory response by assessing changes over time in serum creatine kinase and interleukin-6 levels. Design Ninety-five active Japanese participants (50 men and 45 women: 22.2 ± 2.3 years) who did not perform daily upper limb strength...

BACKGROUND: The evidence of response to velocity loss cut-off training with similar total repetitions are limited. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the effects of different velocity loss training protocols after 3 weeks of traditional resistance training protocols on strength and power in trained men. METHODS: Twenty highly trained men partic...

This study sought to assess how post-game creatine kinase (CK) levels correlate with the number of sprints and the impact of the ACTN3 polymorphism on this response. This research constituted a descriptive/observational, retrospective cross-sectional study. DNA was extracted from blood samples for ACTN3 polymorphism genotyping. CK was measured 48 h...

Background: Sprint interval training (SIT) improves maximal aerobic and anaerobic performance, including oxygen uptake (VO2 max ), power output, and sprint performance. This study aimed to investigate the effect of SIT load on V̇O 2max in trained subjects. Methods: SIT was performed twice a week for three weeks by twenty-four trained men (aged:...

Individual differences in muscle strength recovery after eccentric exercise may be influenced by sex and genotype. A candidate genetic polymorphism associated with response during muscle recovery is the MMP3 gene rs522616 polymorphism, encoding matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-3). Here, we investigated the effect of the MMP3 gene rs522616 polymorphism...

e15052 Background: The importance of biomarker-based treatment and individual therapeutic strategies can be even more substantial in rare cancers, which confront particular difficulties, such as delayed or inaccurate diagnosis, lack of clinical knowledge, and less interest in the development of innovative treatment. However, large-scale studies poi...

The R577X polymorphism in the α-actinin-3 gene (ACTN3) is associated with muscle strength and power; there is an association between ACTN3 R577X polymorphism and range of motion (ROM). We examined the effect of the ACTN3 R577X polymorphism on ROM through meta-analysis and systematic review. Relevant studies published before April 14, 2022 were iden...

Purpose The aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 polymorphism, which is exclusive to the Asian population, is related to many diseases. A high reactive oxygen species production in mitochondria, and low muscle strength in athletes and non-athletes, has been observed, as our previous study demonstrated. The purpose of this research was to investig...

Muscle injuries are among the main reasons for medical leavings of soccer athletes, being a major concern within professional teams and their prevention associated with sport success. Several factors are associated with a greater predisposition to injury, and genetic background is increasingly being investigated. The aim of this study was to analyz...

The rs671 polymorphism is associated with the enzymatic activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), which is weakened by the A allele in East Asians. We recently reported the association of this polymorphism with the athletic status in athletic cohorts and the muscle strength of non-athletic cohorts. Therefore, we hypothesized the association of...

Recent researches in the field of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, presented at the II Karyokinesis Symposium 2020. Chaired by Carla Eliana Davico, MSc and Kathleen Yasmin de Almeida, BSc with the responsible professor Geison Izídio, PhD.

O ACE I/D é um dos mais antigos polimorfismos estudados com relação a performance esportiva. Estudos apontam que o alelo de Deleção se apresenta em maior frequência em atletas que possuem maior explosão muscular, enquanto o alelo de Inserção se associa com maior resistência muscular. O presente estudo pretende relacionar os genótipos de ACE I/D em...

Nesta sétima edição, o evento ocorreu pela primeira vez em formato totalmente online nos dias 09, 10, 11 e 12 de dezembro de 2020. O objetivo principal do Simpósio de Integração é unir comunidade científica e não científica para debater diversos assuntos extremamente importantes para a sociedade, assim como, divulgar os trabalhos que vêm sendo real...

Seria possível existirem cavalos alados? O que são os fungos que transformam insetos em zumbis, COmo os bilhões de neurônios que temos no cérebro se comunicam? Discutindo assuntos tão variados quanto a regeneração dos dentes ou a vida no espaço, este livro se propõe a trazer, de modo leve e divertido, uma série de textos curtos e interessantes sobr...
