ABSTRACT

mTOR and the health benefits of exercise.

Massimo Spattini
Exercise is the greatest physiological stress that our bodies experience. For example, during maximal endurance exercise in elite athlete’s cardiac output can increase up to 8-fold and the working muscles receive 21-times more blood each minute than at rest. Given the physiological stress associated with exercise and the adaptations that occur to handle this stress, it is not surprising that exercise training is

Lattuga rossa, l’insalata che frena l’invecchiamento

Massimo Spattini
Una foglia di lattuga, purché sia rossa, come elisir contro l’invecchiamento. Si potrebbe riassumere così il risultato dello studio condotto dai ricercatori del dipartimento di Scienze agrarie dell’università di Pisa, secondo il quale «più la lattuga è rossa e più è veloce il suo effetto antiossidante e di reazioni nei confronti dei radicali liberi, responsabili

Colesterolo, gli Usa riabilitano l’uovo

Massimo Spattini
Tuorli d’uovo: si ridimensiona il pericolo. Nuove rivoluzionarie linee guida sul colesterolo nei cibi sono in arrivo in America. Secondo un reportage del “Washington Post” il comitato di esperti del governo Usa sulle raccomandazioni dietetiche avrebbe eliminato, il colesterolo contenuto ad esempio, proprio nelle uova e in altri alimenti, tra le «sostanze preoccupanti» per la

ABSTRACT

A review of creatine supplementation in age-related diseases: more than a supplement for athletes.

Massimo Spattini
Creatine is an endogenous compound synthesized from arginine, glycine and methionine. This dietary supplement can be acquired from foodsources such as meat and fish, along with athlete supplement powders. Since the majority of creatine is stored in skeletal muscle, dietary creatine supplementation has traditionally been important for athletes and bodybuilders to increase the power, strength, and

ABSTRACT

Meal timing affects glucose tolerance, substrate oxidation and circadian-related variables: A randomized, crossover trial.

Massimo Spattini
Background/Objectives:Timing of food intake associates with body weight regulation, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. However, the mechanism is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of changes in meal timing on energy-expenditure, glucose-tolerance and circadian-related variables.Subjects/Methods:Thirty-two women (aged 24±4 years and body mass index 22.9±2.6 kg m-2) completed two randomized, crossover protocols: one protocol (P1) including assessment of

Il senso del moscerino per le calorie

Massimo Spattini
Il cervello della Drosophila melanogaster, il moscerino della frutta tanto utilizzato come modello animale, è in grado d’imparare a riconoscere e ricordare il contenuto calorico dei cibi. A stabilirlo è uno studio apparso sulla rivista “Nature Communications” a firma di Yumin Zhang e colleghi dell’Albert Einstein College of Medicine di New York, che conferma analoghi risultati ottenuti sui topi,

ABSTRACT

Meal frequency and timing in health and disease.

Massimo Spattini
Although major research efforts have focused on how specific components of foodstuffs affect health, relatively little is known about a more fundamental aspect of diet, the frequency and circadian timing of meals, and potential benefits of intermittent periods with no or very low energy intakes. The most common eating pattern in modern societies, three meals plus snacks every day,
