      The study aimed to determine the levels of skeletal muscle angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2, the SARS-CoV-2 receptor) protein expression in men and women and assess whether ACE2 expression in skeletal muscle is ...
    • Antioxidant enzymes and Nrf2/Keap1 in human skeletal muscle: Influence of age, sex, adiposity and aerobic fitness 

      Galvan-Alvarez, Victor; Gallego-Selles, Angel; Martinez-Canton, Miriam; García-Gonzalez, Eduardo; Gelabert-Rebato, Miriam; Ponce-Gonzalez, Jesus Gustavo; Larsen, Steen; Morales-Alamo, David; Losa-Reyna, Jose; Perez-Suarez, Ismael; Dorado, Cecilia; Perez-Valera, Mario; Holmberg, Hans-Christer; Boushel, Robert; Velasco, Pedro de Pablos; Helge, Jørn Wulff; Martin-Rincon, Marcos; Calbet, José Antonio López (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Ageing, a sedentary lifestyle, and obesity are associated with increased oxidative stress, while regular exercise is associated with an increased antioxidant capacity in trained skeletal muscles. Whether a higher aerobic ...
    • Determinants of the maximal functional reserve during repeated supramaximal exercise by humans: The roles of Nrf2/Keap1, antioxidant proteins, muscle phenotype and oxygenation 

      Galvan-Alvarez, Victor; Martin-Rincon, Marcos; Gallego-Selles, Angel; Martínez Canton, Miriam; HamedChaman, NaDer; Gelabert-Rebato, Miriam; Perez-Valera, Mario; García-Gonzalez, Eduardo; Santana, Alfredo; Holmberg, Hans-Christer; Boushel, Robert; Hallén, Jostein; Calbet, Jose Antonio Lopez (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      When high-intensity exercise is performed until exhaustion a “functional reserve” (FR) or capacity to produce power at the same level or higher than reached at exhaustion exists at task failure, which could be related to ...
    • Functional reserve and sex differences during exercise to exhaustion revealed by post-exercise ischaemia and repeated supramaximal exercise 

      Martin-Rincon, Marcos; Gelabert-Rebato, Miriam; Perez-Valera, Mario; Galvan-Alvarez, Victor; Morales-Alamo, David; Dorado, Cecilia; Boushel, Robert; Hallén, Jostein; Calbet, José Antonio López (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The purpose of this study was to ascertain what mechanisms explain sex differences at task failure and to determine whether males and females have a functional reserve at exhaustion. Exercise performance, cardiorespiratory ...
    • Mitochondrial oxygen affinity increases after sprint interval training and is related to the improvement in peak oxygen uptake 

      Larsen, Filip J.; Schiffer, Tomas A.; Zinner, Christoph; Willis, Sarah J.; Morales-Alamo, David; Calbet, Jose Antonio Lopez; Boushel, Robert; Holmberg, Hans-Christer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Aims: The body responds to exercise training by profound adaptations throughout the cardiorespiratory and muscular systems, which may result in improvements in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2peak) and mitochondrial capacity. ...
