    Anabolic resistance of muscle protein turnover comes in various shapes and sizes

    Get PDF
    Anabolic resistance is defined by a blunted stimulation of muscle protein synthesis rates (MPS) to common anabolic stimuli in skeletal muscle tissue such as dietary protein and exercise. Generally, MPS is the target of most exercise and feeding interventions as muscle protein breakdown rates seem to be less responsive to these stimuli. Ultimately, the blunted responsiveness of MPS to dietary protein and exercise underpins the loss of the amount and quality of skeletal muscle mass leading to decrements in physical performance in these populations. The increase of both habitual physical activity (including structured exercise that targets general fitness characteristics) and protein dense food ingestion are frontline strategies utilized to support muscle mass, performance, and health. In this paper, we discuss anabolic resistance as a common denominator underpinning muscle mass loss with aging, obesity, and other disease states. Namely, we discuss the fact that anabolic resistance exists as a dimmer switch, capable of varying from higher to lower levels of resistance, to the main anabolic stimuli of feeding and exercise depending on the population. Moreover, we review the evidence on whether increased physical activity and targeted exercise can be leveraged to restore the sensitivity of skeletal muscle tissue to dietary amino acids regardless of the population

    Towards a framework for critical citizenship education

    Get PDF
    Increasingly countries around the world are promoting forms of "critical" citizenship in the planned curricula of schools. However, the intended meaning behind this term varies markedly and can range from a set of creative and technical skills under the label "critical thinking" to a desire to encourage engagement, action and political emancipation, often labelled "critical pedagogy". This paper distinguishes these manifestations of the "critical" and, based on an analysis of the prevailing models of critical pedagogy and citizenship education, develops a conceptual framework for analysing and comparing the nature of critical citizenship

    Twenty Years After the Velvet Revolution: Shifts in Czech Adolescents’ Perceptions of Family, School, and Society

    Families and schools are traditionally seen as substantial socialization agents forming adolescents’ social values and their views of society. Special attention is paid to the question whether the relative importance of these influences remains stable in times of major social changes. In this study, two different generations of Czech middle adolescents are compared: (a) the “post-totalitarian” generation that grew up in the last decade of the communist regime and entered adolescence during the time of rapid political and socioeconomic changes (data collected in 1995) and (b) the current generation without personal experience with the communist regime, raised in a stable democratic society (data collected in 2010). Both groups of participants (total N = 2,127, aged from 14 to 17 years) were administered an identical questionnaire. First, we examined the changes in adolescents’ perception and evaluation of the society over the last 15 years. Today’s adolescents perceive society more as a community and their future orientations are more focused on materialistic and less on environmental values. While the emotional relationship between the children and parentsremains the same, adolescents learn a somewhat different message in the family, emphasizing self-reliance. School environment is perceived more as positive and engaging than 15 years ago. Second, we predicted adolescents’ social views and values from their assessment of family and school environment. Our results show that the effect of parental values on adolescents’ value orientations is higher in the current generation. Positive school environment contributes to the development of socially responsible orientations despite the changes in society

    The objective of the study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity and use of ethanol extract of Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruiz & Pavón (mashua) as colorant for yogurt. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using DPPH and ABTS methods. The total content of anthocyanins (TA) and polyphenols (TP) was determined by the method of differential pH and Folin-Ciocalteu, respectively. Parameters of CIEL*a*b* system were used to measure the purple color and concentration of pigment used to color natural yogurt "3500", comparing with yogurt commercial blackberry "6224" which was taken as a reference. Both yogurt samples were stored under refrigeration (4°C ± 1) for 28 days and color and pH were measured every 4 days. For sensory analysis the acceptance test was applied (p<0,05). The contents of TA and TP in the extracts analyzed were 192,63 ± 1,28 mg of cyanidin-3-glucoside/100g fresh weight (FW) and 314,12 ± 1,23 mg of gallic acid/100 g FW, respectively. The antioxidant capacity trolox equivalent obtained was 15,8 ± 0,2 µmol/g FW, using the DPPH assay, and 17,0 ± 0,2 µmol/g FW with ABTS, the extract was added to plain yogurt (1,2 mg/ 100 g) imparting the purple similar to commercial yogurt blackberry color with minimal changes that were not visually apparent; yogurt "3500" was significantly preferred by judges against the yogurt "6224". It is concluded that the extracted pigments tuber Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruiz & Pavon, possess antioxidant activity, appearing as an alternative of colorant aplicable intermediate acidity foods like yogurt.El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la actividad antioxidante y uso del extracto etanólico de Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruiz & Pavón (mashua) como colorante para yogur.

Los parámetros del sistema CIEL*a*b* se utilizaron para medir el color morado y la concentración de pigmento empleado para colorear el yogur natural “3500”, comparándose con yogur comercial de mora “6224”, que fue tomado como referencia. Ambas muestras de yogur se almacenaron bajo condiciones de refrigeración (4°C ± 1) durante 28 días; se les midió color y pH cada 4 días. Para el análisis sensorial se aplicó la prueba de aceptación (p<0,05). El contenido de AT y PT en los extractos analizados fueron 192,63 ± 1,28 mg de cianidina-3-glucósido/100g peso fresco (PF) y de 314,12 ± 1,23 mg de ácido gálico/100g PF, respectivamente. La capacidad antioxidante equivalente al trolox obtenida fue de 15,8 ± 0,2 µmol/g PF, aplicando el ensayo DPPH, y 17,0 ± 0,2 µmol/g PF con ABTS. El extracto se adicionó al yogur natural (1,2 mg/100 g) impartiendo un color morado similar al del yogur comercial de mora con mínimos cambios del color que no fueron visualmente evidentes; el yogur “3500” fue significativamente el preferido por los jueces frente al yogur “6224”. Se concluye que los pigmentos extraídos del tubérculo de Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruiz & Pavón, poseen actividad antioxidante, presentándose como una alternativa de colorante aplicable en alimentos de acidez intermedia como el yogur

    Implications of the Ammonia Distribution on Jupiter from 1 to 100 Bars as Measured by the Juno Microwave Radiometer

    The latitude-altitude map of ammonia mixing ratio shows an ammonia-rich zone at 0-5degN, with mixing ratios of 320-340 ppm, extending from 40-60 bars up to the ammonia cloud base at 0.7 bars. Ammonia-poor air occupies a belt from 5-20degN. We argue that downdrafts as well as updrafts are needed in the 0-5degN zone to balance the upward ammonia flux. Outside the 0-20degN region, the belt-zone signature is weaker. At latitudes out to +/-40deg, there is an ammonia-rich layer from cloud base down to 2 bars which we argue is caused by falling precipitation. Below, there is an ammonia-poor layer with a minimum at 6 bars. Unanswered questions include how the ammonia-poor layer is maintained, why the belt-zone structure is barely evident in the ammonia distribution outside 0-20degN, and how the internal heat is transported through the ammonia-poor layer to the ammonia cloud base

It has no solid continents to stabilize the weather. Scientists have wondered what the weather is like below the clouds because it might explain why storms last for decades or hundreds of years on Jupiter. The Juno spacecraft is the first chance we have had to take a look beneath the clouds, and this is the first analysis of the Juno data. The surprise is that, deep down, Jupiter’s weather looks a lot like Earth’s, with ammonia gas taking the place of water vapor. There is a band of high humidity at the equator and bands of low humidity on either side of the equator, like Earth’s tropical and subtropical bands. What is different is that the bands go much deeper than anyone expected and this is all taking place on a planet without an ocean or a solid surface.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/138332/1/grl56217_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/138332/2/grl56217.pd
