The effects of heat-killed Lactococcus lactis JCM5805 (JCM5805) on the pathogenesis of
common cold and influenza were evaluated. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-…

To evaluate the energy metabolism of peripheral skeletal muscle during exerclsa In patients
with chronic respiratory Impairment, the 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of …

We investigated the relationship between nutritional status and muscle energy metabolism
during exercise in 18 male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and …

Purpose The effects of aging on muscle metabolism and oxygenation have not yet been
elucidated. We evaluated the effects of aging on energy metabolism and oxygenation in …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Although several studies have shown that plasma concentrations
of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are reduced in patients with chronic obstructive …

DISCUSSION Zygomycosis has rarely been reported to be pathogenic in normal people.
Onlyseven cases of primary pulmonary zygomycosis with no predis-posing factors have …

Exercise capacity is frequently decreased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD), and muscle dysfunction is one factor in this reduction. Studies using 31-…

This study used topographic near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to characterize frontal lobe
activation while individuals actively or passively listened to exciting or calm music. …

To determine the transverse relaxation time (T2) of biological tissues in nuclear magnetic
resonance measurements, the Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) method has been …

The ingestion of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) can be linked to lactate metabolism
during heavy exercise. We investigated the effects of BCAA supplementation on muscle pH …
