Caffeine use or napping to enhance repeated sprint performance after partial sleep deprivation: Why not both? by Romdhani, Mohamed

“…Purpose: To compare the effect of a 20-minute nap opportunity (N20), a moderate dose of caffeine (CAF; 5 mg·kg-1), or a moderate dose of caffeine before N20 (CAF+N) as possible countermeasures to the decreased performance and the partial sleep deprivation-induced muscle damage. …”

Association between antioxidant metabolites and N-terminal fragment brain natriuretic peptides in insulin-resistant individuals. by Anwardeen, Najeha

“…Moreover, we revealed notable associations between NT-proBNP levels and antioxidant metabolic pathways, particularly those related to glutathione metabolism, in insulin-resistant, but not insulin-sensitive individuals. The significant decrease in NT-proBNP observed in individuals with insulin resistance may be attributed to a direct or indirect enhancement in glutathione production, which is regarded as a compensatory mechanism against oxidative stress. …”

Differences in the neovascular potential of thymus versus subcutaneous adipose-derived stem cells from patients with myocardial ischemia. by Oliva-Olivera, Wilfredo

“…Our aim was to examine the neovascular potential under hypoxic conditions of ASCs-derived from thymic (thymASCs) and subcutaneous (subASCs) AT from 39 subjects with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and of different ages who were undergoing coronary bypass surgery (CBS). We confirmed a significant decrease in the percentage of CD34+ CD31- CD45- subASCs in the cell yield of subASCs and in the survival of cultured endothelial cells in the medium conditioned by the hypox-subASCs with increasing patient age, which was not observed in thymASCs. …”
