“…Arterial stiffness, which is considered to be one of the earliest pathophysiological processes in the progression of atherosclerosis-related metabolic diseases, is a prominent manifestation of vascular aging, and it has become an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis ( 2 ), coronary heart disease ( 3 ), diabetes ( 4 ), stroke ( 5 ), and other CVDs ( 6 , 7 ). Increased arterial stiffness or decreased vascular elasticity can impair arterial function, leading to increased systolic blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced ventricular diastolic function ( 8 , 9 ), and thus increases the risk of arteriosclerosis and coronary artery disease ( 10 , 11 ). Therefore, the prevention and treatment of arterial stiffness is crucial ( 1 , 12 ).…”

A growing body of research examines the effect of aerobic exercise on pulse wave velocity (PWV) in middle-aged and elderly people, while findings of available studies were conflicting. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of aerobic exercise on PWV in middle-aged and elderly people. Searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO databases. Cochrane risk assessment tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included literature. We included studies that satisfied the following criteria: (1) eligible studies should be randomized controlled trials (RCTs); (2) eligible studies should include both an intervention and a control group; (3) eligible studies should use the middle-aged or elderly people as subjects; and (4) eligible studies should use PWV as the outcome measure. From 972 search records initially identified, 11 studies with a total of 12 exercise groups (n = 245) and 11 control groups (n = 239) were eligible for meta-analysis. There was a significant effect of aerobic exercise on reducing PWV in middle-aged and elderly people [weighted mean difference (WMD), –0.75 (95% CI, –1.21 to –0.28), p = 0.002]. Specifically, a higher intensity [vigorous-intensity, –0.74 (–1.34 to –0.14), p = 0.02; moderate-intensity, –0.68 (–1.49 to 0.12), p = 0.10], a younger age [45 years ≤ age < 60 years, –0.57 (–0.78 to –0.37), p < 0.00001; age ≥ 60 years, –0.91 (–2.10 to 0.27), p = 0.13], a better health status [healthy, –1.19 (–2.06 to –0.31), p = 0.008; diseased, –0.32 (–0.64 to –0.01), p = 0.04], and a lower basal body mass index (BMI) [BMI < 25, –1.19 (–2.06 to –0.31), p = 0.008; 25 ≤ BMI < 30, –0.52 (–0.92 to –0.12), p = 0.01; BMI ≥ 30, –0.09 (–0.93 to 0.76), p = 0.84] were associatedwith larger reductions in PWV. Aerobic exercise, especially vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise, contributed to reducing PWV in middle-aged and elderly people. The effect of aerobic exercise on improving PWV was associated with characteristics of the participants. Specifically, a younger age, a better health status, and a lower basal BMI contributed to more significant reductions in PWV.Systematic review registration[https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42022337103], identifier [CRD42022337103].

“…Previous studies have shown that pulse wave velocity (PWV), especially carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), has been recommended as the gold standard for assessing arterial stiffness as a non-invasive measurement ( 8 , 11 , 12 ). In addition, PWV is considered to be negatively correlated with vascular health ( 13 ).…”

“…(17,18) Then the MCE was prepared following the method optimized for natural plants as described in the previous studies. (19,20) Subsequently, 4 kg of dried MCE and 6,000 ml of water was added to the extractor, and the mixture was extracted by heating at 100°C under a pressure of 0.7 kg/cm 2 for 3 h. The extracted MCE was then sealed in a small plastic bag of 100 ml and stored in a refrigerator. To analyze the basic ingredients, we commissioned the Korea Food Research Institute and Pukyong National University Food Analysis Center.…”

This study investigated the effects of a drink supplement containing Momordica charantia extract from bitter melon on physical fitness and levels of stress hormones during a four-week exercise training program in a hot environment. Ten male tennis players were orally administrated in a four-week (100 ml, 6 times a day), and the pre- and post-supplementation levels of different physical fitness variables and cortisol, and adrenocorticotropic hormone in plasma were measured at four time-points—before (baseline), during, and after the exercise, and on the next day of the supplementation. The findings showed that the supplementation has significant positive effects on enhancement of physical fitness parameters especially balance (d = 22.10, p = 0.013), flexibility (d = 4.83, p = 0.015), and cardiorespiratory fitness (d = 10.00, p = 0.030). Moreover, the adrenocorticotropic hormone levels were reduced during the exercise, and the cortisol levels showed the decreasing trend during and after the exercise, which was correlated with the change of cardiorespiratory fitness ( r = 0.65, p <0.05). These results indicated the possible adaptogenic effects of Momordica charantia extract intake. Based on the findings, we suggest that Momordica charantia could be used as a source of adaptogenic supplement to alleviate the exercise- and environment-induced stress.

“…Of the newer supplements being explored, there has been a focus on the use of natural plant extracts as added ingredients to sports drinks [7][8][9]. One of these extracts is from Momordica charantia (M. charantia), an annual vine of the gourd family (Cucurbitaceae) also called bitter melon owing to the bitter taste of the unripe fruit.…”

Among potent dietary supplements, Momordica charantia, commonly called bitter melon, has various biological effects, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and improves energy metabolism and fatigue recovery. However, it is unknown whether Momordica charantia extract (MCE) induces antifatigue effects during exercise training in high-temperature environments. This study aimed at investigating the efficacy of MCE by examining 10 male tennis players consuming 100 mL MCE/dose (6 times a day over 4 weeks) during the summer training season. Peripheral (ammonia and uric acid) and central (serotonin, dopamine, and prolactin) fatigue parameters were measured before and after MCE consumption; before, during, and after exercise; and the next morning. After consuming MCE supplements, ammonia levels were higher during and after exercise and recovered the next morning, whereas uric acid levels did not change at any time point. Serotonin levels were lower during exercise. Dopamine levels were higher, especially during exercise. Prolactin levels were lower at all time points, especially during and after exercise. Although high-intensity training in a hot environment causes accumulation of fatigue-related metabolites, our results indicate that 4 weeks of MCE intake positively influenced fatigue parameters, suggesting that MCE can efficiently combat fatigue.
