Methods: Forty-six participants were enrolled in a randomized crossover clinical trial, consuming two isoenergetic meals: FFM (burger, fries, ...
Meal-exercise challenge and physical activity reduction impact on immunity and ...
Silva, D; Moreira, R; Sokhatska, O; Beltrão, M; Montanha, T; Garcia-Larsen, V; Villegas, R; Severo, M; Pizarro, A; Pinto, M; Martins, C; Duarte, ABackground: The effect of a pre-exercise meal as countermeasure to exercise induced immunodepression is poorly known. Also, sedentary behavior is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk but studies on immune changes are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to assess: 1) the impact of a pre-exercise Mediterranean meal (MdM) compared with a fast-food type meal (FFM) on exercise-induced immunological changes and 2)...
Serum metalloproteinases 1 and 7 in the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibro...
Morais, A; Beltrão, M; Sokhatska, O; Dias, CC; Melo, N; Mota, P; Marques, A; Delgado, LINTRODUCTION: Accurate diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has important therapeutic and prognostic implications and would be greatly aided by reliable diagnostic biomarkers as IPF has sometimes overlapping features with other interstitial lung diseases (ILD). OBJECTIVES: To explore the value of serum metalloproteinases (MMP) 1 and 7 levels in the differential diagnosis of IPF with other ILD. METHO...
