The current evidence revealed a time-dependent effect of HMB in reducing LDH and CK serum levels among adults. HMB, therefore, may be seen as a priority muscle damage recovery agent in interventions.
Damaged muscle cells start a reactions cascade that leads to a complicated and prolonged interaction between protein synthesis and degradation (Shen et al., 2018). Therewith, while protein turnover is increased, generally degradation exceeds synthesis, since the breakdown of protein results, leading to muscle atrophy, muscle degeneration, and exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD; Damas et al., 2016). Exercise-induced muscle damage lead to alteration in muscle protein structure, reductions in muscle
BackgroundDiet changes through disasters may affect psychological health as well as general health. The present study aimed to find food security status—that is defined by having enough food for an active, healthy life—dietary patterns and their relationship with probable psychiatric disorders in earthquake survivors.MethodsThis cross-sectional study conducted on 350 women who survived in East Azarbaijan earthquake (At 4:53 am on 11 August 2012). Food frequency questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale and food security questionnaire of the US Department of Agriculture were used to assess dietary patterns, psychological and food security status, respectively. P values were considered significant at <0.05.ResultsFour major dietary patterns were defined based on factor analysis. These four dietary patterns explained of 37.09% variation of food intakes. Ten per cent of the population was food secure. There was no significant association between tertiles of major dietary patterns and risk of all psychological disorders (p values>0.05).ConclusionThere was no statistically significant association between major dietary patterns and psychiatric disorders. Further well-designed studies need to find any significant association.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
