... Abstract Consumption of sodium bicarbonate (300 mg/kg 1-2 h before exercise) can temporarily increase blood bicarbonate concentrations, enhancing extracellular buffering of hydrogen ions which accumulate and efflux from the working muscle. Such ‘bicarbonate loading' provides an ergogenic...

... of this review. We will present current information about the acute use of water and salt as a nutritional aid that can help cardiovascular function. The impact of salt and water loading on reducing cardiovascular and thermal strain and its consequences on exercise performance will also be discussed. Most...

... day (typically in physical education) or as an after-school program.Overall, these studies showed that school-based skeletal loading interventions are efficacious,safe, and feasible. Furthermore, studies to date have shown that interventions are mosteffective when initiated during prepuberty and early...

... Abstract Electric pulses in the range of 1 to 5 kV/cm and of durations 1 to 200 microseconds have been used to open up pores of limited size in various cell types. In the case of erythrocytes, these pores were shown to admit molecules as large as tetrasaccharides. Loading of clinically active...

... can advance person-centered approaches in medicine. With the goal of refining the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diverse diseases, this chapter presents recent progress recorded in the literature on stress-related diseases, highlighting the allostatic load model that represents the biological...

... Abstract Two different dialysis methods were used to G6PD load the erythrocytes of G6PD deficient subjects. With both methods the yield of entrapment was about 30–40% of the added G6PD. The functional behaviour of these G6PD loaded erythrocytes was evaluated by HMS either in resting conditions...
