    • 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 ...
    • Exercise mitigates the loss of muscle mass by attenuating the activation of autophagy during severe energy deficit 

      Martin-Rincon, Marcos; Pérez-López, Antonio; Morales-Alamo, David; Perez-Suarez, Ismael; de Pablos-Velasco, Pedro; Perez-Valera, Mario; Perez-Regalado, Sergio; Martinez-Canton, Miriam; Gelabert-Rebato, Miriam; Juan-Habib, Julian William; Holmberg, Hans-Christer; Calbet, Jose Antonio Lopez (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The loss of skeletal muscle mass with energy deficit is thought to be due to protein breakdown by the autophagy-lysosome and the ubiquitin-proteasome systems. We studied the main signaling pathways through which exercise ...
    • 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 ...
    • A mango leaf extract (Zynamite®) combined with Quercetin has exercise-mimetic properties in human skeletal muscle 

      Martinez-Canton, Miriam; Galvan-Alvarez, Victor; Garcia-Gonzalez, Eduardo; Gallego-Selles, Angel; Gelabert-Rebato, Miriam; Garcia-Perez, Giovanni; Santana, Alfredo; Lopez-Rios, Laura; Vega-Morales, Tanausu; Martin-Rincon, Marcos; Calbet, Jose Antonio Lopez (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Zynamite PX®, a mango leaf extract combined with quercetin, enhances exercise performance by unknown molecular mechanisms. Twenty-five volunteers were assigned to a control (17 males) or supplementation group (8 males, ...
    • Regulation of Nrf2/Keap1 signalling in human skeletal muscle during exercise to exhaustion in normoxia, severe acute hypoxia and post-exercise ischaemia: Influence of metabolite accumulation and oxygenation 

      Gallego-Selles, Angel; Martin-Rincon, Marcos; Martinez-Canton, Miriam; Perez-Valera, Mario; Martín-Rodríguez, Saúl; Gelabert-Rebato, Miriam; Santana, Alfredo; Morales-Alamo, David; Dorado, Cecilia; Calbet, Jose Antonio Lopez (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Nrf2 transcription factor is induced by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and is necessary for the adaptive response to exercise in mice. It remains unknown whether Nrf2 signalling is activated by exercise in human ...
    • Supplementation with a mango leaf extract (Zynamite®) in combination with quercetin attenuates muscle damage and pain and accelerates recovery after strenuous damaging exercise 

      Martin-Rincon, Marcos; Gelabert-Rebato, Miriam; Galvan-Alvarez, Victor; Gallego-Selles, Angel; Martinez-Canton, Miriam; Lopez-Rios, Laura; Wiebe, Julia C.; Martin-Rodriguez, Saul; Arteaga-Ortiz, Rafael; Dorado, Cecilia; Perez-Regalado, Sergio; Santana, Alfredo; Morales-Alamo, David; Calbet, Jose Antonio Lopez (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
