We hypothesized that 4 wk of dietary nitrate supplementation would enhance exercise
performance and muscle metabolic adaptations to sprint interval training (SIT). Thirty-six …

Abstract Background Cocoa flavanols (CFs) have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
capacities and can improve vascular function. It has recently been suggested that CF intake …

Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species regulate a wide array of signaling pathways that
governs cardiovascular physiology. However, oxidant stress resulting from disrupted redox …

In recent years, the consumption of chocolate and, in particular, dark chocolate has been
“rehabilitated” due to its high content of cocoa antioxidant polyphenols. Although it is …

Free radicals produced during exercise play a role in modulating cell signaling pathways.
High doses of antioxidants may hamper adaptations to exercise training. However, their …

Background Endurance exercise induces IL-6 production from myocytes that is thought to
impair intracellular defence mechanisms. Curcumin inhibits NF-κB and activator protein 1 …

This investigation determined the efficacy of black currant nectar (BCN) in reducing
symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Sixteen college students were …

The practice of physical exercise induces a series of physiological changes in the body at
different levels, either acutely or chronically. During exercise, the increase in oxygen …
