Filter by:The goal of this double-blinded, randomized, crossover trial is to investigate the effects of NMN supplementation on liver function, liver fat content and lipid metabolism in healthy young subjects with acute binge drink. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. if NMN administration could accelerate alcohol metabolism and alleviate hangover symptom; 2. if NMN administration could alleviate alcohol-induced liver injury and hepatic steatosis.
A novel prehabilitation method has been implemented at our institution to decrease perioperative outcome complications for frail complex spine fusion surgery patients. The goal of this randomized trial is to evaluate whether this prehabilitation program improves preoperative functional status of frail spine disease patients and benefits patients in their postsurgical outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of nooLVL containing arginine and inositol supplementation on executive function and memory prior to and following playing video games.
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the world and our country. The prevalence of Heart Failure (HF) is 1-2% in the adult population in developed countries, up to 10% among people 70 years of age. Concerning COPD, it is estimated that by 2030 will be the third leading cause of death in the world; the prevalence in Mexico is 18.4%. Also, according to INEGI data, it is the 5th cause of death in people over 65. 50% of patients with COPD die of cardiovascular causes, and they are at higher risk of developing HF, hospital readmissions, and death. Subjects with HF and COPD concomitant have alterations such as; systemic inflammation, loss of muscle mass and strength of both skeletal and respiratory muscles, reduced tolerance to exercise, and lung function, which has an important impact on clinical status, quality of life and prognosis. The objective of nutritional treatment in HF is to reduce heart overload and reduce cardiovascular risk. On the other hand, in COPD, it is to improve lung function. However, this is not enough to maintain the protein reserves of patients due to previously affected factors. Therefore, it is vitally essential to contemplate the supplementation with amino acids that prevent and delay the loss of protein reserves, as well as the delay in clinical status. The β-hydroxy-β-methyl butyrate (HMB) is a metabolite of leucine, with an anticatabolic and anabolic effect. HMB improves the synthesis of proteins, muscle mass, strength, and muscle functionality. Citrulline has been associated with increased muscle mass, VO2, and exercise tolerance. On the other hand, pulmonary rehabilitation (RP) has improved exercise tolerance, mass, and strength of skeletal and respiratory muscles, quality of life, reduction of hospitalizations, and mortality. However, in concomitant HF and COPD, there are no guidelines that specify the type of RP or if there is a synergistic effect with nutritional supplementation and its impact on clinical status.
Research has clearly shown that lacking sufficient calories, macro- and micro-nutrients may impair an athlete's training adaptations, while athletes who consume a balanced diet that meets energy needs can enhance physiological training adaptations. Maintaining an energy and nutrient deficient diet during training may lead to loss of muscle mass, strength, and bone mineral density, in addition to an increased susceptibility to illness and injuries, disturbances in immune, endocrine and reproductive function, and an increased prevalence of overreaching and/or overtraining. In children and adolescent athletes, an insufficient diet may additionally result in impaired physical growth. Incorporating good dietary practices as part of a training program is one way to help optimize training adaptations and prevent overtraining. Based on this, nutritional supplementation is an effective and safe approach for attaining the high nutritional requirements of adolescent athletes, to help them maintain healthy growth. Nutritional supplementation could also improve their body composition, sport performance and general health. The primary objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the effect of dietary supplement versus placebo on growth and physical activity performance in young athletes. A total of 50 young soccer players (25 in each group) will participate in this Double blind, randomized, placebo controlled study.
