Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

Hormones are largely responsible for the integrated communication of several physiological
systems responsible for modulating cellular growth and development. Although the specific …

The complexity and redundancy of the endocrine pathways during recovery related to
anabolic function in the body belie an oversimplistic approach to its study. The purpose of …

Purpose To determine relationships between post-exercise changes in systemic
[testosterone, growth hormone (GH), insulin like grow factor 1 (IGF-1) and interleukin 6 (IL …

Animal/cell investigations indicate that there is a decreased adipose tissue mass resulting
from skeletal muscle (SkM) IL-15 secretion (eg, SkM-blood-adipose tissue axis). IL-15 could …

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are frequently consumed by athletes to
manage muscle soreness, expedite recovery, or improve performance. Despite the …

We recently reported that vastus lateralis (VL) cross‐sectional area (CSA) increases after 7
weeks of resistance training (RT, 2 days/week), with declines occurring following 7 weeks of …

Key points Exercise acutely increases the concentrations of metabolites and hormones such
as growth hormone (GH) and, to a lesser extent, insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1); …

Background Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) possess analgesic and anti-
inflammatory properties by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes. Conflicting evidence …

Purpose: To determine if acute resistance exercise-induced increases in growth hormone
(GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) were differentially responsive for one or more …
