Hemodynamic correlates of fluctuations in neuronal excitability: A simultaneous Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) and functional near infra-red spectroscopy (fNIRS) study

Author(s): Cai Z; Pellegrino G; Spilkin A; Delaire E; Uji M; Abdallah C; Lina JM; Fecteau S; Grova C;

Background: The relationship between task-related hemodynamic activity and brain excitability is poorly understood in humans as it is technically challenging to combine simultaneously non-invasive brain stimulation and neuroimaging modalities. Cortical exci...

Is Adipose Tissue Inflammation the Culprit of Obesity-Associated Comorbidities?

Author(s): Turner L; Wanasinghe AI; Brunori P; Santosa S;

In individuals with obesity, the onset of chronic comorbidities coincides with the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in various tissue beds. As obesity progresses, adipose tissue becomes increasingly dysfunctional causing chronic low-grade inflammati...

Spectral and network investigation reveals distinct power and connectivity patterns between phasic and tonic REM sleep

Author(s): Avigdor T; Peter-Derex L; Ho A; Schiller K; Wang Y; Abdallah C; Delaire E; Jaber K; Travnicek V; Grova C; Frauscher B;...

Although rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is often thought of as a singular state, it consists of two substates, phasic and tonic REM, defined by the presence (respectively absence) of bursts of rapi...

Relationship Between Lumbar Multifidus Morphometry and Pain/Disability in Individuals With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain After Considering Demographics, Fear-Avoidance Beliefs, Insomnia, and Spinal Degenerative Changes

Author(s): Pinto SM; Cheung JPY; Samartzis D; Karppinen J; Zheng YP; Pang MYC; Fortin M; Wong AYL;

Background: Although individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) show increased fatty infiltration in the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM), it remains unclear whether LMM changes are related to clinical outcomes (such as pain and disability) after consideri...

Description:

Adult males and females have markedly different body composition, energy expenditure, and have different degrees of risk for metabolic diseases. A major aspect of metabolic regulation involves the appropriate storage and disposal of glucose and fatty acids. The use of sophisticated calorimetry, tracer, and imaging techniques have provided insight into the complex metabolism of these substrates showing that the regulation of these processes varies tremendously throughout the day, from the overnight fasting condition to meal ingestion, to the effects of physical activity. The sexual dimorphism in substrate metabolism is most readily observed in how fatty acids are stored and mobilized. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive and critical summary of the reported sex-differences in the mobilization, oxidation and storage of fat and carbohydrate in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. We will describe how adipose tissue lipolysis differs between sexes, and how this varies between fed, fasted and exercise conditions. We will also review what is known about endogenous and exogenous fatty acid storage in adipose tissue and muscle, as well as how oxidation compares between men and women in response to exercise. What has been learned about the cellular level regulation of these processes will be described. Although glucose metabolism exhibits fewer differences between men and women, we will also review the existing knowledge on this topic.
