Though many explanations are offered for the fatigue process in contracting skeletal muscle (both central and peripheral factors), none completely explain the decline in force production capability because fatigue is specific to the activity being performed. However, one needs to look no further
BACKGROUND
One potential agent to improve symptoms and quality of life (QoL) in advanced cancer patients is adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP). Several reports suggest that ATP may positively affect QoL and survival in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the
Caffeine ingestion can delay fatigue during exercise, but the mechanisms remain elusive. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that blockade of central nervous system (CNS) adenosine receptors may explain the beneficial effect of caffeine on fatigue. Initial experiments were done to confirm
BACKGROUND
Intracellular concentrations of adenosine-5'-triphosphate (ATP) are many times greater than extracellular concentrations (1-10 mM versus 10-100 nM, respectively) and cellular release of ATP is tightly controlled. Transient rises in extracellular ATP and its metabolite adenosine have
Recently, low-level laser (light) therapy has been used to increase muscle performance in intense exercises. However, there is a lack of understanding of the time response of muscles to light therapy. The first purpose of this study was to determine the time response for light-emitting diode therapy
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the sole fuel for muscle contraction. During near maximal intense exercise the muscle store of ATP will be depleted in < 1s, therefore, to maintain normal contractile function ATP must be continually resynthesized. During intense exercise (from approximately 75% VO2
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), commonly known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a debilitating disease of unknown etiology. CFS/ME is a heterogeneous disease associated with a myriad of symptoms but with severe, prolonged fatigue as the core symptom associated with the disease. There are
It appears that the noradrenergic neurotransmitter system hastens central fatigue during prolonged exercise, a finding that coincides with a faster rate of increase in the rating of perceived exertion. Mental fatigue will affect several neurotransmitter systems, with presumably an important role for
In general, Cordyceps sinensis is much more popular than C. militaris, though both species contain quite similar bioactive ingredients and exhibit medicinal activities. Many bioactive ingredients have been isolated from C. militaris, such as adenosine, cordycepin, D-mannitol, and exopolysaccharides.
Morning stiffness and increased symptoms of inflammatory arthritis are among the most common manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-α), an important mediator of inflammation in RA, regulates the circadian expression of clock proteins, and adenosine A(2A) receptors
Adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonists exert antiparkinsonian effects in animal models and several drugs in this class are currently being assessed in clinical trials. Preladenant (SCH-420814) is an adenosine A(2A) receptor antagonist with a high affinity and very high selectivity for adenosine A(2A)
Digoxin could improve diaphragm contractility and fatigability if inhibition of sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase enhances calcium influx from extracellular sources, or it could impair contractility and worsen fatigue if it impairs maintenance of the membrane potential. We studied the
