Abstract

To study the effects of moderate-intensity treadmill walking exercise on the biochemical bone markers in the menstruating and menopausal women. Experimental study. Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. Twenty-two healthy volunteer women at the age of 30-70 were recruited: 11 menstruating women and 11 menopausal women. The exercise consisted of the treadmill walking exercise, intensity of 50% of heart rate reserve, for the duration of 30 minutes, at the frequency of 3 times a week, over a 3-month period. Serum beta CTx, PINP and NMID osteocalcin were measured at the baseline and in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months. Twenty women: 11 menstruating women and 9 menopauses completed the exercise protocol. The baseline characteristics including age, body mass index, serum beta CTx, PINP and NMID were statistically different. The serum beta CTx and NMID levels were decreased from the baseline from Month 1 to 3 in both menstruating and menopausal groups. Serum PINP was not significantly changed in the 1st and 2nd months except the significant decreasing in the 3rd month in the menstruating women. There were no significant differences of bone marker changes between the menstruating women and the menopaus...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
