- Does Exclusive Consumption of Plant-based Dietary Protein Impair Resistance Training-induced Muscle Adaptations?(2019) HEVIA-LARRAIN, Victoria; LONGOBARDI, Igor; LINS, Alan F.; PEREIRA, Rosa M.; ARTIOLI, Guilherme; PHILLIPS, Stuart M.; GUALANO, Bruno; ROSCHEL, Hamilton
- Exercise training can attenuate the inflammatory milieu in women with systemic lupus erythematosus(2014) PERANDINI, Luiz A.; SALES-DE-OLIVEIRA, Diego; MELLO, Suzana B. V.; CAMARA, Niels O.; BENATTI, Fabiana B.; LIMA, Fernanda R.; BORBA, Eduardo; BONFA, Eloisa; SA-PINTO, Ana L.; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, BrunoSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation. This study sought to assess the effects of an exercise training program on cytokines and soluble TNF receptors (sTNFRs) in response to acute exercise in SLE women. Eight SLE women and 10 sex-, age-, and body mass index-comparable healthy controls (HC) participated in this study. Before and after a 12-wk aerobic exercise training program, cytokines and sTNFRs were assessed at rest and in response to single bouts of acute moderate/intense exercise. HC performed the acute exercise bouts only at baseline. After the exercise training program, there was a decrease in resting TNFR2 levels (P = 0.025) and a tend to reduction interleukin (IL)-10 levels (P = 0.093) in SLE. The resting levels of IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-alpha after the exercise training in SLE reached HC levels (P > 0.05). In response to a single bout of acute moderate exercise, the area under the curve (AUC) of IL-10 was significantly reduced after the exercise training program in SLE (P = 0.043), and the AUC of IL-10, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and sTNFR1 of SLE approached control values (P = 0.05). In response to a single bout of acute intense exercise, the AUC of IL-10 was significantly reduced in SLE (P = 0.015). Furthermore, the AUC of sTNFR2 tended to decrease after exercise training program in SLE (P = 0.084), but it did not reach control values (P = 0.001). An aerobic exercise training program attenuated the inflammatory milieu in SLE women, revealing a novel homeostatic immunomodulatory role of exercise in an autoimmunity condition.
- Creatine supplementation for older adults: Focus on sarcopenia, osteoporosis, frailty and Cachexia(2022) CANDOW, Darren G.; CHILIBECK, Philip D.; FORBES, Scott C.; FAIRMAN, Ciaran M.; GUALANO, Bruno; ROSCHEL, HamiltonSarcopenia refers to the age-related reduction in strength, muscle mass and functionality which increases the risk for falls, injuries and fractures. Sarcopenia is associated with other age-related conditions such as osteoporosis, frailty and cachexia. Identifying treatments to overcome sarcopenia and associated conditions is important from a global health perspective. There is evidence that creatine monohydrate supplementation, primarily when combined with resistance training, has favorable effects on indices of aging muscle and bone. These musculoskeletal benefits provide some rationale for creatine being a potential intervention for treating frailty and cachexia. The purposes of this narrative review are to update the collective body of research pertaining to the effects of creatine supplementation on indices of aging muscle and bone (including bone turnover markers) and present possible justification and rationale for its utilization in the treatment of frailty and cachexia in older adults.
- Erratic control of breathing during exercise in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a pilot-study(2011) PRADO, D. M. L. do; GUALANO, B.; MIOSSI, R.; LIMA, F. R.; ROSCHEL, H.; BORBA, E.; BONFA, E.; PINTO, A. L. de SaPurpose: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the pattern and timing of breathing during incremental exercise in a sample of women living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 20 women with SLE without pulmonary involvement were compared with 20 gender-, body mass index- (BMI), and age-matched healthy individuals. By using a cardiopulmonary incremental exercise test, the following parameters were assessed: tidal volume (VT); breathing frequency (BF); total respiratory time (TOT); inspiratory time (TI); expiratory time (TE); inspiratory time to total time (TI/TOT); mean inspiratory flow (VT/TI); ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide (VE/VCO(2)) and end-tidal carbon dioxide pressure (PETCO(2)). Results: BF and BF/VT were significantly higher in patients with SLE versus controls, whereas VT, TE, TI and TOT were significantly lower in the former group (p < 0.05). Additionally, patients with SLE presented higher VE/VCO(2) and lower PETCO(2) than controls (p < 0.05), suggesting a ventilatory inefficiency. Conclusion: We reported compelling evidence of abnormal pattern and timing of breathing during incremental exercise in SLE. Considering that an erratic control of breathing may play an important role in exercise intolerance and fatigue, respiratory exercises emerge as a potential treatment for these symptoms in patients with SLE. Lupus (2011) 20, 1535-1540.
- Reply to Areta et al.: Time to withdraw and let the myth rest(2017) GUALANO, B.; GONCALVES, L. D. S.; PAINELLI, V. D. S.; YAMAGUCHI, G.; OLIVEIRA, L. F. de; SAUNDERS, B.; SILVA, R. P. da; MACIEL, E.; ARTIOLI, G. G.; ROSCHEL, H.
- Juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome: Blunted heart rate response and cardiac autonomic dysfunction at diagnosis(2016) MAIA, Magda M.; GUALANO, Bruno; SA-PINTO, Ana L.; SALLUM, Adriana M. E.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; LEN, Claudio A.; TERRERI, Maria T. A.; BARBOSA, Cassia M.; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; SILVA, Clovis A.Objective: To assess aerobic capacity and cardiac autonomic modulation in juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome (JFM) patients at diagnosis in response to graded exercise text. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study included 25 JFM patients and 25 healthy controls. Both groups participated only in physical education classes at school. A treadmill graded cardiorespiratory test was performed and the heart-rate (HR) response during exercise was evaluated by the chronotropic reserve (CR). Pain, functional ability, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) were assessed. Results: The median current age was similar in JFM and controls (15 vs. 15 years, p = 0.890), as well as body mass index (p = 0.332), female gender (p = 1.000), and Tanner stages (p = 0.822). The medians of HRQL parameters (total score/physical health/psychosocial health) were significantly lower in JFM vs. controls according to patient and parent self-reports (p < 0.001). The median of peak HR [181 (150-198) vs. 197 (181-202) bpm, p < 0.001], chronotropic reserve [84 (53-98) vs. 99 (84-103)%, p < 0.001], and resting to peal< [96 (65-181) vs. 127 (61-185) bpm, p = 0.010] were significantly lower in JFM compared to controls. The median of Delta EIRR1 [15 (3-39) vs. 35 (9-52) bpm, p < 0.0011, Delta FIRR2 [37 (20-57) vs. 51 (32-94) bpm, p < 0.001], peak VO2 [32.34 (24.24-39.65) vs. 36A (28.56-52.71) ml/kg/min, p = 0.005], peak speed [5 (4-6.3) vs. 5.9 (4.0-6.3) mph, p = 0.001], time to exhaustion [11.5 (8.5-14.5) vs. 14 (11-18) min, p < 0.0011, and working capacity on power [3.37 (2.04-5.6) vs. 3.89 (2.91-6.55) W/kg, p = 0.006] were significantly lower in JFM compared to controls. The frequency of chronotropic incompetence (<= 80%) was significantly higher in JFM vs. controls (p = 0.0006). Conclusions: This study identified chronotropic incompetence and delayed HR recovery in JFM patients, indicating autonomic dysfunction. Aerobic exercise training should be considered in all JFM patients and may improve cardiac autonomic impairment, thus reducing cardiovascular risk.
- Exercise as an Adjuvant Treatment in Persistent Active Polymyositis(2014) MATTAR, Melina Andrade; GUALANO, Bruno; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; PERANDINI, Luiz Augusto; DASSOUKI, Thalita; LIMA, Fernanda Rodrigues; SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki; PINTO, Ana Lucia de SaObjectives: A growing number of studies have suggested that exercise may promote therapeutic effects in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. This prospective case series study aimed to report on the effects of exercise in patients with persistent active myositis. Methods: Three patients with persistent active polymyositis were submitted to a 12-week supervised exercise program comprising both aerobic and strength exercises. Results: After the intervention, the patients presented improvements in selected parameters of muscle function and aerobic conditioning. In addition, an overall improvement was detected in the quality of life, as measured by both the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey and the Health Assessment Questionnaire questionnaires. Importantly, exercise did not increase serum levels of creatine kinase and aldolase. Conclusions: The findings herein suggest that a combined aerobic and strength training program may be tolerable and potentially effective in improving muscle function, aerobic conditioning, and quality of life in patients with persistent active polymyositis.
- Exercise-Induced Increases in Insulin Sensitivity After Bariatric Surgery Are Mediated By Muscle Extracellular Matrix Remodeling (vol 69, pg 1675, 2020)(2021) DANTAS, Wagner S.; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; MURAI, Igor H.; GIL, Saulo; DAVULURI, Gangarao; AXELROD, Christopher L.; GHOSH, Sujoy; NEWMAN, Susan S.; ZHANG, Hui; SHINJO, Samuel K.; NEVES, Willian das; MEREGE-FILHO, Carlos; TEODORO, Walcy R.; CAPELOZZI, Vera L.; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria; BENATTI, Fabiana B.; SA-PINTO, Ana L. de; CLEVA, Roberto de; SANTO, Marco A.; KIRWAN, John P.; GUALANO, Bruno
- GLUT4 translocation is not impaired after acute exercise in skeletal muscle of women with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome(2015) DANTAS, Wagner Silva; MARCONDES, Jose Antonio Miguel; SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki; PERANDINI, Luiz Augusto; ZAMBELLI, Vanessa Olzon; NEVES, Willian Das; BARCELLOS, Cristiano Roberto Grimaldi; ROCHA, Michele Patrocinio; YANCE, Viviane Dos Reis Vieira; PEREIRA, Renato Tavares Dos Santos; MURAI, Igor Hisashi; PINTO, Ana Lucia De Sa; ROSCHEL, Hamilton; GUALANO, BrunoObjectiveThe aim of this study was to examine the effects of acute exercise on insulin signaling in skeletal muscle of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and controls (CTRL). MethodsFifteen women with obesity and PCOS and 12 body mass index-matched CTRL participated in this study. Subjects performed a 40-min single bout of exercise. Muscle biopsies were performed before and 60 min after exercise. Selected proteins were assessed by Western blotting. ResultsCTRL, but not PCOS, showed a significant increase in PI3-k p85 and AS160 Thr 642 after a single bout of exercise (P=0.018 and P=0.018, respectively). Only PCOS showed an increase in Akt Thr 308 and AMPK phosphorylation after exercise (P=0.018 and P=0.018, respectively). Total GLUT4 expression was comparable between groups (P>0.05). GLUT4 translocation tended to be significantly higher in both groups after exercise (PCOS: P=0.093; CTRL: P=0.091), with no significant difference between them (P>0.05). ConclusionsA single bout of exercise elicited similar GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle of PCOS and CTRL, despite a slightly differential pattern of protein phosphorylation. The absence of impairment in GLUT4 translocation suggests that PCOS patients with obesity and insulin resistance may benefit from exercise training.
- It is over there, next to that fat lady: a qualitative study of fat women's own body perceptions and weight-related discriminations(2020) ULIAN, Mariana Dimitrov; SATO, Priscila de Morals; PINTO, Ana Jessica; BENATTI, Fabiana B.; CAMPOS-FERRAZ, Patricia Lopes de; COELHO, Desire; ROBLE, Odilon J.; SABATINI, Fernanda; PEREZ, Isabel; ABURAD, Luiz; VESSONI, Andre; UNSAIN, Ramiro Fernandez; GUALANO, Bruno; SCAGLIUSI, Fernanda B.We investigated fat women's perceptions of their own bodies and their experiences with weight-related discriminations, and how these situations affected their well-being. Thirty-nine obese women were interviewed, and three axes of analysis were identified: (1) repercussions of being fat, (2) living with a fat body, and (3) am I a person or just a fat body? These axes were composed of eight themes which had similar meaning or complemented each other. The results showed our participants had mechanisms to diminish the magnitude of their stigmatized bodies (e.g., attempting to lose weight and changing their current food choices). Participants also reported being fat had physical and psychological consequences for them. Most notably, their larger bodies influenced their self-evaluation, making them feel devalued, unlovable, incapable, and incomplete. They reported stigmatizing experiences in familiar situations, at the workplace and in public spaces, and reported being stigmatized by both close and unknown individuals, including healthcare professionals. These professionals were reported to treat patients disrespectfully, which urges attention to health care inequalities for obese people. Our results stress stigmatizing attitudes towards fat people and their own considerations about themselves have negative consequences in their physical and mental well-being.
