Iron plays a significant role in the body, and is specifically important to athletes, since it is a
dominant feature in processes such as oxygen transport and energy metabolism. Despite its …

ABSTRACT IL‐6 is a pleiotropic cytokine with a wide range of biologic effects. In response to
prolonged exercise, IL‐6 is synthesized by contracting skeletal muscle and released into …

The provision or restriction of select nutrients in an athlete's diet can elicit a variety of
changes in fuel utilization, training adaptation, and performance outcomes. Furthermore …

Key points Reduced carbohydrate (CHO) availability before and after exercise may augment
endurance training‐induced adaptations of human skeletal muscle, as mediated via …

The purpose of this narrative review is to identify health and performance consequences
associated with LCA in female endurance athletes. The intake of carbohydrates (CHO) …

Twenty years after its discovery, hepcidin is still considered the main regulator of iron
homeostasis in humans. The increase in hepcidin expression drastically blocks the flow of …

Background Hepcidin, the master iron regulatory hormone, has been shown to peak 3–6 h
postexercise, and is likely a major contributor to the prevalence of iron deficiency in athletes …

Hepcidin, a peptide hormone with an acknowledged evolutionary function in iron
homeostasis, was discovered at the turn of the 21st century. Since then, the implications of …

Iron deficiency is a frequent and multifactorial disorder in the career of athletes, particularly
in females. Exercise-induced disturbances in iron homeostasis produce deleterious effects …

Daily food intake is crucial to maintain health and determine endogenous fuel to practice
endurance exercise. We investigated the association between quantity of macronutrient and …
