Managing Inflammation through the Endothelin System
American Physiological Society (APS)

Regulating the endothelin system may help inflammatory conditions. Studies found improvements in lupus, colitis and kidney injury mouse models. Findings will be presented virtually at the Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin, hosted and organized by the American Physiological Society.

New Research Points to Amino Acid Chain as Possible Cancer, Lung Disease Treatment Target
American Physiological Society (APS)

Researchers will explore how endothelin, an amino acid chain secreted by the endothelial cells that line the blood vessels, plays a role in cancer progression and lung disease sometimes caused by cancer treatment. The researchers are meeting at the Seventeenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-17), hosted and organized by the American Physiological Society (APS).

Alzheimer’s Drug May Help Maintain Mitochondrial Function in Muscles as It Slows Cognitive Decline
American Physiological Society (APS)

A common treatment for Alzheimer’s disease may help people with the earliest stages of the disease maintain mitochondrial function in their muscles in addition to slowing cognitive decline. The first-of-its-kind study is published ahead of print in Function.

Previously Healthy Young Adults with ‘Long COVID’ Show Vascular Dysfunction in Limbs, but Not Brain
American Physiological Society (APS)

A first-of-its-kind study of young adults with positive COVID-19 tests from more than 4 weeks ago found that those who were still symptomatic (i.e., long-haulers) had impaired blood vessel function in their limbs, but not brains. Asymptotic participants had blood vessel function similar to controls.

Breathing Support Improves Lung Function in Near-term Newborns
American Physiological Society (APS)

A new pre-clinical study in rabbits finds breathing support with an end-expiratory pressure improves lung function in near-term newborns with elevated lung liquid volumes at birth. The study is published ahead of print in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Frequent Breaks from Sitting May Improve Daily Blood Sugar Fluctuations
American Physiological Society (APS)

Frequent activity breaks from sitting may improve fasting blood sugar (glucose) levels and stabilize daily fluctuations, according to new research. The study, the first of its length to explore the effects of activity breaks in “free-living” conditions, is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism. It was chosen as an APSselect article for August.

Low-fiber Diet May Lead to Gut Infection Even if You’re Not Overweight
American Physiological Society (APS)

Diet, more than body mass, may play a role in the risk for gut infection, and eating more fiber could be the key to prevention. The study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism.

One Year of Aerobic Exercise Training May Reduce Risk of Alzheimer’s in Older Adults
American Physiological Society (APS)

New research suggests one year of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic exercise training improved cardiorespiratory fitness, cerebral blood flow regulation, memory and executive function in people with mild cognitive impairment. The data suggest improvement in cerebrovascular function from exercise training also has the potential to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in older adults.
