Isolated branched-chain amino acid intake and muscle protein synthesis in humans: a biochemical review

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Alongside a proper diet, ergogenic aids with potential direct and/or indirect physical performance enhancing effects are sought after for improved adaptation to physical training. Nutritional ergogenics include diet composition changes and/or dietary supplementation. Branched-chain amino acids v...

Anatomical study of the transfer of flexor digitorum superficialis nerve branch of median nerve to restore wrist extension and forearm pronation

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 17 (3), 2019
Abstract Objective To analyze the anatomical variations of the innervation of the flexor digitorum superficialis muscle and to determine if the branch of the median nerve that supply this muscle is connected to the branches to the extensor carpi radialis brevis and the pronator teres muscles, without t...

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVE: Kinesio tape (KT) is a visible adhesive restorative tape that has typically been utilized for injury prevention, recovery, and even performance improvement, but limited studies have assessed the effect of KT on muscle performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical impac...

Does whole-body electrical muscle stimulation combined with strength training promote morphofunctional alterations?

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 8 weeks of strength training (ST) combined with whole-body electrical stimulation (EMS) on morphofunctional adaptations in active individuals. METHODS: Fifty-eight volunteers were randomly distributed into the following groups: an untraine...

Short-term creatine supplementation changes protein metabolism signaling in hindlimb suspension

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (10), 2019
The effect of a short-term creatine supplementation on hindlimb suspension (HS)-induced muscle atrophy was investigated. Creatine monohydrate (5 g/kg b.w. per day) or placebo, divided in 2 daily doses, was given by oral gavage for 5 days. Rats were maintained in HS with dietary supplementation concomitan...
