Moderate endurance training prevents doxorubicin-induced in vivo mitochondriopa...
Ascensao, A; Magalhaes, J; Soares, JMC; Ferreira, R; Neuparth, MJ; Marques, F; Oliveira, PJ; Duarte, JAThe objective of this work was to test the hypothesis that endurance training may be protective against in vivo doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiomyopathy through mitochondria-mediated mechanisms. Forty adult (6-8 wk old) male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=10/group): nontrained, nontrained + DOX treatment (20 mg/kg), trained (14 wk of endurance treadmill running, 60-90 min/day), and traine...
Effect of a high-altitude expedition to a Himalayan peak (Pumori, 7,161 m) on p...
Magalhaes, J; Ascensao, A; Marques, F; Soares, JMC; Ferreira, R; Neuparth, MJ; Duarte, JAThe effects of a high-altitude exposure were studied in six mountaineers who spent 3 weeks at an altitude range between 5,250 and 7,161 m after I week in an acclimatization trek (2,800-5,250 m). Blood drawn from the antecubital vein was collected at sea level I day before and I day after the expedition to analyse some haematological variables [haemoglobin (Hb), haematocrit (Htc) and red blood cell (RBC) count],...
