The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract that manifests as Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC), clinically characterized by periods of remission interrupted by episodes of clinical disease activity (Zallot et al., 2013).
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in healthy men. Subjects will take either a placebo or setria performance blend (L-citrulline + glutathione) for 8 days. At the day 8, subjects run on the treadmill to measure the time to exhaustion at 90%, 100%, and 110%
The human body is made of many cells and each cell contains many mitochondria. Mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell, because they produce the energy needed for a cell to be healthy and function the way it is meant to.
Diseases of the mitochondria affect the way the tissues and cells
We expect that over a period of 6 years, 500 older hypertensive women will be screened, 200 of them will be enrolled, and 100 will complete the entire project.
Aim 1: To test the hypothesis that chronic heat therapy combined with an antihypertensive drug is superior to drug treatment alone in
Participants Thirty healthy, physically active males (n=15) and females (n=15), 18-25 years of age completed the study. Subjects had not participated in another clinical trial or consumed another study related investigation product within 30 days of enrollment. If a supplement containing L-arginine
Background and Significance:
The concept of malnutrition and its' effects on the outcomes of surgical patients was first reported in 1936. A study revealed that malnourished patients going through ulcer surgery had a 33 percent mortality rate when compared with 3.5 percent in well-nourished
A double - blind randomized, crossover design trial examining arginine vs. placebo beverage treatments will be performed. The primary objective is to determine the effects of arginine assessed by standard laboratory assays and metabolomics. To accomplish the objective standardized meals will be
The incidence of head and neck cancer (HNC) has increased in Sweden during the last decades. Radiotherapy (RT) is a cornerstone of treatment either as single or combined modality treatment. There is emerging awareness that RT affects the immune system. For HNC patients treated with RT nutritional
Literature Review:CHF is the major public health problem in the world[1], highly prevalent in older individuals and a major cause of disability, hospitalizations, morbidity and mortality[2]. Generally, CHF patients have reduced exercise capacity, with main symptoms of effort intolerance, early
Angiotensin-II (ANG-II) is the end-product of the renin-angiotensin cascade, and acts as a potent endogenous vasoconstrictor through binding to the angiotensin receptor (AT1) on arteriolar vascular smooth muscle. With advancing age, there is a notable decline in plasma renin activity accompanied by

Clinical examination Each subject underwent a basic medical check-up with anthropometric examination (height (m), weight (kg), BMI (kg/m2), waist circumference (cm), waist-hip ratio). Body composition was measured using bioimpedance
Although the underlying mechanisms of fatigue have been studied in several disease conditions (Bower et al., 2002; Brola et al., 2007), the etiology, mechanisms, and risk factors remain elusive, and this symptom remains poorly managed. Fatigue is conceptualized as a multidimensional symptom which
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is common and currently affects an estimated 6.6 million adults in the United States (1). In addition being highly prevalent, CHF is responsible for ~ 1 million hospital discharges per year and approximately 50% of patients with CHF will die within 5 years making it a
