High-intensity interval training improves acute plasma volume responses to exercise that is age dependent
(
American Physiological Society
, 2018 , Article)
Plasma volume (PV) is affected by several factors including age, physical training and, acutely, by exercise intensity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 6 weeks of high-intensity interval training ...
Impacts of seven years of experimental warming and nutrient addition on neighbourhood species interactions and community structure in two contrasting alpine plant communities
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Global change is predicted to have major impacts on alpine and arctic ecosystems. Plant fitness and growth will be determined by how plants interact with each other at smaller scales. Local-scale neighbourhood interactions ...
Nox2 activity is required in obesity-mediated alteration of bone remodeling
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
Despite increasing evidence suggesting a role for NADPH oxidases (Nox) in bone pathophysiology, whether Nox enzymes contribute to obesity-mediated bone remodeling remains to be clearly elucidated. Nox2 is one of the ...
Early stage litter decomposition across biomes
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Through litter decomposition enormous amounts of carbon is emitted to the atmosphere. Numerous large-scale decomposition experiments have been conducted focusing on this fundamental soil process in order to understand the ...
