Reduced running performance and greater perceived exertion, but similar post-exercise neuromuscular fatigue in tropical natives subjected to a 10 km self-paced run in a hot compared to a temperate environment.

Environmental heat stress impairs endurance performance by enhancing exercise-induced physiological and perceptual responses. However, the time course of these responses during self-paced running, particularly when comparing hot and temperate conditions, still needs further clarification. Moreover, monitoring fatigue induced by exercise is paramount to prescribing training and recovery adequately, but investigations on the effects of a hot environment on post-exercise neuromuscular fatigue are scarce. This study compared the time course of physiological and perceptual responses during a 10 km …

Effects of Oral Ingestion of L-Ornithine on Mental Stress and Fatigue Based on the Trier Social Stress Test in Healthy Humans: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Trial.

Background: With changes in the social environment typified by COVID-19, an increasing number of people are suffering from mental stress in interpersonal relationships and the resulting fatigue in recent years. L-ornithine oral ingestion reportedly suppresses the secretion of cortisol, a stress marker, through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. However, there is insufficient research to determine whether L-ornithine exerts an ameliorative effect on social stress. Therefore, in this study, we investigated how L-ornithine affects mental stress and fatigue after social stress in healt…

A new family with a case of severe early-onset muscle fatigue and a peculiar maternally inherited painful swelling in chewing muscles associated with homoplasmic m.15992A>T mutation in mitochondrial tRNAPro.

A 16-year-old boy was evaluated for a history of exercise-induced fatigability associated with nausea even after minimal effort, lower limbs muscle hypotrophy, and swelling of the masseter muscles after chewing. Laboratory tests were remarkable for hyperlactatemia and metabolic acidosis after short physical activity. The muscle biopsy showed non-specific mitochondrial alterations and an increase in intrafibral lipids. Biochemical analysis showed reduced activity of the respiratory chain complexes. Mitochondrial DNA sequencing revealed the presence of a homoplasmic variant m.15992A>T in the MT-
