The urinary excretion of dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), catecholamines (CA) [dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), and epinephrine (e)], their 3-O-methylated derivatives [3-O-methyldopamine (3-MT), normetanephrine (NMN), and metanephrine (MN)], and their deaminated metabolites [dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and vanilmandelic acid (VMA)] was studied in six healthy men, at rest during short-term (15 min) or exhaustive submaximal exercise, and in the 2-h postexercise recovery period. During short-term exercise only NE and VMA excretions increased, whereas in postexercise period only DA output was enhanced. Exhaustive muscular work induced a rise in NE and E excretion during the test, and an increase in DA, NE, and NMN urinary levels during postexercise recovery, while the output of deaminated metabolites was unaltered. It is concluded that both release and synthesis of CA are stimulated by submaximal exercise, which induces, in addition to NE, a specific release of DA. A possible role of NE in lipid mobilization during recovery from exhaustive muscular work is evoked. The origin and role of released DA are also discussed.

Abstract While long term fasting is reported to augment the corticotropic function, effect of short term (overnight) fasting on ACTH-cortisol coordinated release pattern and potential effect(s) of nutrient intake is not fully defined. Eleven healthy men (age: 33-70 yrs, BMI 20.4-31.5 kg-m2) were studied after overnight fast on 4 separate days, involving oral ingestion of 300 ml of either water, dextrose, protein, or lipid solutions. Test meals were isocaloric (400 kcal). Sessions were 6.5 h long, starting at 0800-0900 hrs. Blood was collected at 10-min intervals for ACTH (pg per mL), and cortisol (µg per dL) measurements. Linear regression, cross-correlation, deconvolution, and ApEn were used for data analyses. ACTH and cortisol concentration time series during short-term fast (water day) were found not to be chronologically coupled per linear regression (r2= 0.0014, P=0.82), and cross-correlation (r= - 0.156, lag=150 min) statistics. Oral intake of the 3 macronutrients improved the temporal relationship between ACTH and cortisol concentrations, verified by linear regression (r2:P- dextrose 0.54:0.0001, protein 0.65: 0.0001, lipid 0.42:0.0001), and cross-correlation (r:lag in min- dextrose 0.8:10, protein 0.77:10, lipid 0.78:20). Oral ingestion of either macronutrient did not significantly alter mean ACTH and cortisol concentrations and their respective secretion pattern (total, pulsatile, basal) over the period of 6.5 hr. However compared to the control (water) session, dextrose ingestion evoked less frequent and larger ACTH secretory bursts, and more regular ACTH and cortisol secretory patterns. In this study, we have observed lack of concordance between ACTH and cortisol after overnight fasting, which is restored with oral intake of macronutrients. This effect appears to be uniform among the 3 macronutrients, except for less frequent and lager ACTH bursts and more regular ACTH and cortisol release events after dextrose intake. These findings and the specific role of nutrients being direct or via physiologic nutrient-induced hormonal adaptation warrants future investigation.

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a 5 min head-out ice-cold water bath on the oxidant-antioxidant balance in response to exercise. The crossover study included the subjects (n=24; aged28.7±7.3years) who performed two identical stationary cycling bouts for 30 min and recovered for 10 min at room temperature (RT=20°C; session 1) or in a pool with ice-cold water (ICW=3°C, 5 min immersion; session 2). The concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in blood plasma (TBARSpl) and erythrocytes (TBARSer) and the erythrocytic activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were measured three times during each of the two study sessions: before the exercise (baseline) and 20 and 40 min after the appropriate recovery session. Lower concentration of TBARSpl 40 min after postexercise recovery in ICW was revealed as compared with that after recovery at RT (P<0.05). Moreover, a statistically significant postexercise increase in the TBARSpl and TBARSer concentrations was found (P<0.01andP<0.05, resp.). A short-term ice-cold water bath decreases postexercise lipid peroxidation.

The present study investigated the role of heredity in determining changes in the energy cost of submaximal exercise in response to short-term overfeeding. Six pairs of monozygotic twins were subjected to a 1,000 kcal/day surplus for 22 days with careful experimental controls over food intake and physical activities. O2 consumption (VO2) was measured during a submaximal treadmill exercise test 165 min postprandially before and the morning after the overfeeding protocol. As expected, overfeeding induced significant increases in body weight and fat mass. No significant increase in mean exercise VO2 was observed after overfeeding. However, the interindividual variation in overfeeding-induced changes in exercise VO2 was large and not randomly distributed. When comparing intrapair variance for changes in exercise VO2 to interpair variance, a moderate to high within-pair resemblance in response, i.e., a genotype-overfeeding interaction, was observed. Changes in exercise VO2 were positively correlated with those in postexercise levels of blood catecholamines, particularly epinephrine. A negative correlation was found between changes in exercise VO2 and body fat gain. These results are consistent with the concept of a role for the sympathoadrenal system in the regulation of adaptive thermogenesis and the predisposition to store fat. Moreover, these data suggest that the sensitivity to adapt in exercise energy expenditure after overfeeding is inherited to a significant extent.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a ubiquitous class of environmental pollutants with toxic and hepatocellular effects, including accumulation of fat, proliferated smooth endoplasmic recticulum (SER), and concentric membrane arrays (CMAs) (1-3). The CMAs appear to be a membrane storage and degeneration organelle composed of a large number of concentric membrane layers usually surrounding one or more lipid droplets often with internalized membrane fragments (3). The present study documents liver alteration after a short term single dose exposure to PCBs with high chlorine content, and correlates them with reported animal weights and central nervous system (CNS) measures. In the brain PCB congeners were concentrated in particular regions (4) while catecholamine concentrations were decreased (4-6). Urinary levels of homovanillic acid a dopamine metabolite were evaluated (7).Wistar rats were gavaged with corn oil (6 controls), or with a 1:1 mixture of Aroclor 1254 and 1260 in corn oil at 500 or 1000 mg total PCB/kg (6 at each level).

Memory span in humans has been intensely studied for more than a century. In spite of the critical role of memory span in our cognitive system, which intensifies the importance of fundamental determinants of its evolution, few studies have investigated it by taking an evolutionary approach. Overall, we know hardly anything about the evolution of memory components. In the present study, I briefly review the experimental studies of memory span in humans and non-human animals and shortly discuss some of the relevant evolutionary hypotheses.

FIIs are companies registered outside India. In the past four years there has been more than $41 trillion worth of FII funds invested in India. This has been one of the major reasons on the bull market witnessing unprecedented growth with the BSE Sensex rising 221% in absolute terms in this span. The present downfall of the market too is influenced as these FIIs are taking out some of their invested money. Though there is a lot of value in this market and fundamentally there is a lot of upside in it. For long-term value investors, there’s little because for worry but short term traders are adversely getting affected by the role of FIIs are playing at the present. Investors should not panic and should remain invested in sectors where underlying earnings growth has little to do with financial markets or global economy.

This article introduces a volume devoted to the examination of later-life bereavement: an analysis of variation in cause, course, and consequence. Six articles address and represent this variation and comprise this volume: 1) Prigerson et al. present case histories of the traumatic grief of spouses; 2) Hays et al. highlight the bereavement experiences of siblings in contrast to those spouses and friends; 3) Moss et al. address the role of gender in middle-aged children's responses to parent death; 4) Bower focuses on the language adopted by these adult children in accepting the death of a parent; 5) de Vries et al. explore the long-term, longitudinal effects on the psychological and somatic functioning of parents following the death of an adult child; and 6) Fry presents the short-term and longitudinal reactions of grandparents to the death of a grandchild. A concluding article is offered by de Vries stressing both the unique and common features of these varied bereavement experiences touching on some of the empirical issues and suggesting potential implications and applications.
