Does acute weight loss followed by an aggressive nutritional recovery strategy have little impact on on-water rowing performance?
Acute weight loss of up to 4% over 24 hours, when combined with aggressive nutritional recovery strategies, can be undertaken with minimal impact on on-water rowing performance, at least in cool conditions.
The results suggest the following: (i) BF nicotine infusion induced c-Fos in both core and the shell region of NAc at levels comparable to those observed after systemic alcohol administration; (ii) BF nicotine infusion with systemic alcohol induced a significant additive increase in c-Fos expression only in the NAc shell region. These findings implicate the BF in alcohol and nicotine co-use.
