adenosine triphosphate/fatigue

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is one of the essential cofactors required for the proper function of living cells, and depletion in NAD has been correlated to aging individuals as NAD is associated with oxidative stress and energy production. Per the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), it

Benefits and importance of CoQ10 for the human health: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenously produced lipid-soluble molecule of the human organism that is considered an essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain where it is the electron acceptor for complexes I and II. In

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for advanced and metastatic PCa and nearly 400,000 men remain on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for advanced PCa in the U.S. Unfortunately, ADT also induces a decrease in

Mitochondria are the primary source of energy within the cell, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mitochondrial ATP production is tightly regulated according to the energy requirements of the cell, but little is known about the underlying control mechanisms. This is important for the

Background: Phototherapy is a therapeutic resource of increasing use in the last decade. The photobiomodulatory effects are produced by sources of low-level lasers or light- emitting diode (LEDT), and their tissue effects are equivalent. The application of this therapeutic resource brings ergogenic

BACKGROUND Energy insufficiency: Mitochondrial and metabolic myopathies are inherited diseases compromising cellular energy metabolism, which especially affects skeletal muscle because of its high energy needs. Chemical energy is stored in the body as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is derived

The incidence of traumatic brain injury is widespread. The Centers for Disease Control estimate that 1.7 million TBIs occur each year and that TBI is a contributing factor in about 30% of all injury-related deaths. In addition, about 75% of these TBIs are concussions, or mild TBIs (mTBI). However,

Heart failure (HF) is epidemic with aging and prevalence of HF is steadily increasing as the population of older adults expands. Despite the fact that age always stands out as a leading risk factor for HF incidence as well as for poor HF prognosis, few HF trials focus specifically on aging

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating and complex condition characterized by profound fatigue of unknown cause, which is permanent and limits the person's functional capacity, producing various degrees of disability. It seems that inadequate or impaired energy provision through cellular

Rationale: The rational for using near-infrared LEDs is two-fold: 1) These wavelengths have been shown to improve adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, especially in hypoxic or compromised cells. 2) Recent studies in humans have also shown an increase in regional cerebral blood flow subjacent to

A variety of dietary interventions have been used in the management of CFS, yet no therapeutic modality demonstrated overall positive results in terms of effectiveness (Whiting et al. 2001). Previous studies have evaluated the effects of essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and/or enzymes, with

A substantial part in limiting exercise and/or physical activity in humans results from the development of peripheral and central fatigue during physical activity. Peripheral fatigue comprises biochemical changes within the metabolic milieu of the working muscle leading to an attenuated response to

Anaerobic glycolysis quickly provides adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for muscular contraction during high intensity, short duration exercise. The fast rate of glycolysis during anaerobic exercise results in pyruvate formation exceeding pyruvate oxidation resulting in a build up of lactic acid. Lactic

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome with no known etiology. Fibromyalgia is generally diagnosed in patients reporting widespread musculoskeletal pain, and tenderness. In addition to widespread pain, fibromyalgia is also characterized by chronic fatigue, depression, sleep disturbances, and poor
