Antioxidant supplements are commonly consumed by endurance athletes to minimize
exercise-induced oxidative stress, with the intention of enhancing recovery and improving …

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is used as a sports supplement for its ability to modulate exercise-
induced oxidative damage through its antioxidant actions and maintenance of glutathione …

It is currently unknown whether sex differences exist in the cardiovascular consequences of
the inspiratory muscle metaboreflex. We hypothesized that the activation of the inspiratory …

With inspiratory muscle metaboreflex activation, we hypothesized that, compared with their
younger counterparts, older men and women would exhibit greater 1) increases in mean …

It is well known that a training intervention leads to mitochondrial adaptations with increased
skeletal muscle mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Studies have recently indicated that …

Limb blood flow increases linearly with exercise intensity; however, invasive measurements
of muscle microvascular blood flow during incremental exercise have demonstrated …

New Findings What is the central question of this study? What are the characteristics of the
time courses of blood flow in the brachial artery and microvascular beds of the skin and …

The health benefits of exercise are widely accepted and have been used to prevent and
treat chronic diseases. Exercise, however, is also associated with production of reactive …

Inspiratory muscle metaboreflex activation increases mean arterial pressure (MAP) and limb
vascular resistance (LVR) and decreases limb blood flow (Q̇L). Cyclooxygenase (COX) …

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine and a precursor to
glutathione, the master antioxidant of the body, which makes it an important compound in …
