Filter by:Physical exercise induces numerous changes in the body in a complex signalling network caused by or in response to increased metabolic activity of contracting skeletal muscles. The application of omics analytical techniques such as proteomics and metabolomics in the field of sport allows us to understand how the human body responds to exercise and how sports results can be improved by optimising nutrition and training. Both omics techniques offer a quantitative measurement of the metabolic profiles associated with exercise and are able to identify metabolic signatures of athletes from different sports disciplines. Basketball is a high-intensity exercise modality interspersed with low-intensity. The performance requirements of basketball include aerobic and anaerobic metabolism, with anaerobic metabolism being considered the main energy system. Therefore, basketball players need great athletic ability to produce a successful performance during competition. For optimal sports performance it is important to adjust the training load, i.e. the degree of effort that the player can withstand in a single training session. Coaches require effective and objective load monitoring tools that allow them to make decisions about training plans based on the needs of each player. Microsampling systems emerge as an alternative to venipuncture by facilitating self-sampling, which can be carried out outside healthcare centres, in a comfortable and precise way from a small finger prick that the user can perform. These systems are less expensive and can be effective in measuring the levels of glucose metabolism products, such as lactate, through the application of metabolomics and proteomics. On the other hand, the use of non-invasive methods of measuring lactate levels is becoming increasingly popular in sports medicine. The use of saliva as an alternative fluid to the blood shows promise for identifying the concentrations of metabolites that occur during and after sports training.
1. Identify differential metabolites in POI patients. 2. Analysis of differential metabolites and their involved mechanism pathways.
More than 8 million babies have been born through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Non-invasive observation of embryos in vitro to better understand their development is becoming increasingly important. Morphology has been used as standard from the beginning, but has the disadvantage of subjectivity. Now the emphasis in basic and clinical research is on developing rapid, quantitative, non-invasive tests. Hence comes the idea of metabolic profiling of spent embryo culture medium (SECM) as a biomarker. This could be useful for understanding and improving the nutritional environment of oocytes and embryos. The goal of our study is to determine metabolic profiles of the SECM in combination with morphological assessments to better understand the nutritional requirements of the embryo. The goal would be to optimize media specifically, depending on patient and embryo characteristics ("personalized medicine") ("the embryo in vitro as patient").
To explore the relationship of treatment-related changes in electrophysiology and those in metabolomics for identification of the underlying metabolic mechanisms for the electrophysiological effects of methylphenidate in children with ADHD.
Calcific aortic stenosis (CAS) is a disease characterized by progressive calcification of the aortic valve, obstructing the passage of blood from the left ventricle into the general circulation. It is the most frequent cause of valve disease in the elderly. To date, no means of preventing the disease has been discovered, and the only treatment available is valve replacement during cardiac surgery, or percutaneous implantation of a valve prosthesis when the narrowing becomes severe and causes symptoms. The intestinal flora or microbiota, the reservoir of all the microorganisms in the gut, is implicated in numerous diseases, particularly of the intestine. But to date, no study has established a link between CAS and microbiota. The intestinal microbiota acts through molecules produced by itself or the host and passing into the bloodstream. In the pathophysiology of CAS, the valve leaflets are breached and do not heal. These molecules can enter and have beneficial or deleterious effects, in particular promoting calcification of aortic valve cells. Concrete objectives: Improve understanding of calcific aortic stenosis in humans Study the composition of intestinal flora in patients with aortic stenosis and compare it with healthy subjects Study the molecules in the intestinal flora likely to be involved in the development of aortic stenosis in humans.
A study of how supplemental oxygen helps patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Hypothesis: Oxygen affects right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) primarily by relieving hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and reducing pulmonary pressure (PA) pressure, and that this process is metabolically driven.
The new biomedical technology including genomics and metabolomics will be applied to the subjects with TCC practice to investigate clinical symptoms and signs expression. The investigators will compare the related molecular pathways especially focusing on immune and inflammation between long term practice and beginner groups.
The goal of this observational study is to determine the plasma metabolomic profile in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and high-grade B lymphomas patients before, during and after treatment by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOFMS)
The purpose of this controlled feeding trial is to establish an Intervention Core, equipped to perform tightly controlled pharmacokinetic (PK) and dose-response (DR) feeding studies. This research is a two-component pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic cross-over dietary feeding trial. - In the PK study, eight foods will be tested, each on a single day, and the design is crossover. - In the DR, the effects of 10 foods will be compared to each other in a randomized, parallel-group design, and the dose-effect of each of the 10 foods will be determined in a randomized, crossover design.
Investigating lactate metabolism in critically ill patients whom are hypoperfused by preforming metabolomics via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
