Is the anabolic potential of dietary protein intake on skeletal muscle prolonged by prior light-load exercise?
Compared to rest, light-load exercise prolonged the stimulatory effect of dietary protein on muscle biosynthesis providing perspectives for a muscle restorative effect in clinical settings where strenuous activity is intolerable.
Surface coating with FG/FGF-1/heparin significantly decreases platelet deposition on balloon injured canine carotid arteries after 2 hours of perfusion and may be clinically applicable in endarterectomy and angioplasty procedures. The long-term induction of reendothelialization of arterial surfaces by this technique is under investigation.
