A small molecule activator of AKT does not reduce ischemic injury of the rat heart
Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Wohlwend, Martin; Alves, Marcia Netto Magalhaes; Wisløff, Ulrik; Bye, Anja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Activation of protein kinase AKT is required for cardioprotection by ischemic preconditioning, and transgenic overexpression of AKT protects the heart against ischemia. However, it is unknown whether acute ... -
Are the Neuroprotective Effects of Exercise Training Systemically Mediated?
Tari, Atefe R; Norevik, Cecilie Skarstad; Scrimgeour, Nathan Robert; Kobro-Flatmoen, Asgeir; Storm-Mathisen, Jon; Bergersen, Linda Hildegard; Wrann, Christiane D; Selbæk, Geir; Kivipelt, Miia; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Wisloff, Ulrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)To date there is no cure available for dementia, and the field calls for novel therapeutic targets. A rapidly growing body of literature suggests that regular endurance training and high cardiorespiratory fitness attenuate ... -
Autophagy signaling in skeletal muscle of infarcted rats
Jannig, Paulo R.; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Bechara, Luiz R.G.; Bozi, Luiz H.M.; Bacurau, Aline V.; Monteiro, Alex W.A.; Dourado, Paulo M.; Wisløff, Ulrik; Brum, Patricia Chakur (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Heart failure (HF)-induced skeletal muscle atrophy is often associated to exercise intolerance and poor prognosis. Better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying HF-induced muscle atrophy may ... -
Can exercise training teach us how to treat Alzheimer's disease?
Huuha, Aleksi Matias; Norevik, Cecilie Skarstad; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Kobro-Flatmoen, Asgeir; Scrimgeour, Nathan Robert; Kivipelto, Miia; Van Praag, Henriette; Ziaei, Maryam; Sando, Sigrid Botne; Wisløff, Ulrik; Tari, Atefe R (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and there is currently no cure. Novel approaches to treat AD and curb the rapidly increasing worldwide prevalence and costs of dementia are needed. Physical ... -
Deletion of Kinin B2 receptor alters muscle metabolism and exercise performance
Reis, Felipe CG; Haro, Anderson S; Bacurau, Aline V.; Hirabara, Sandro M; Wasinski, Frederick; Ormanji, Milene S; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Kiyomoto, Beatriz H; Bertoncini, Clelia RA; Brum, Patricia Chakur; Curi, Rui; Bader, Michael; Bacurau, Reury FP; Pesquero, Joao B; Araujo, Ronaldo C (Journal article, 2015)Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic risk factors such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondria is the main site of ATP production and its dysfunction leads to decreased oxidative phosphorylation, ... -
Differential regulation of cysteine oxidative post-translational modifications in high and low aerobic capacity
Souza, Rodrigo W. A.; Alves, Christiano R. R.; Medeiros, Alessandra; Rolim, Natale Pinheiro Lage; Silva, Gustavo Jose Justo; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Alves, Marcia Netto Magalhaes; Wohlwend, Martin; Gebriel, Mohammed; Hagen, Lars; Sharma, Animesh; Koch, Lauren G.; Britton, Steven L.; Slupphaug, Geir; Wisløff, Ulrik; Brum, Patricia C. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Given the association between high aerobic capacity and the prevention of metabolic diseases, elucidating the mechanisms by which high aerobic capacity regulates whole-body metabolic homeostasis is a major research challenge. ... -
Exercise prevents impaired autophagy and proteostasis in a model of neurogenic myopathy
Campos, Juliane C; Baehr, Leslie M; Gomes, Katia M S; Bechara, Luiz R.G.; Voltarelli, Vanessa; Bozi, Luiz H.M.; Ribeiro, Marcio AC; Ferreira, Nikolas D; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Brum, Patricia C.; Bodine, Sue C; Ferreira, Julio CB (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Increased proteolytic activity has been widely associated with skeletal muscle atrophy. However, elevated proteolysis is also critical for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis by disposing cytotoxic proteins and ... -
Exercise training reverses cancer-induced oxidative stress and decrease in muscle COPS2/TRIP15/ALIEN
Alves, Christiano R. R.; des Neves, Willian; de Almeida, Ney R; Eichelberger, Eric J; Jannig, Paulo R.; Voltarelli, Vanessa A; Tobias, Gabriel C; Bechara, Luiz R G; de Paula Faria, Daniele; Alves, Maria J N; Hagen, Lars; Sharma, Animesh; Slupphaug, Geir; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Wisløff, Ulrik; Hirshman, Michael F.; Negrao, Carlos E.; de Castro Jr, Gilberto; Chammas, Roger; Swoboda, Kathryn J.; Ruas, Jorge L.; Goodyear, Laurie J.; Brum, Patricia Chakur (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objective We tested the hypothesis that exercise training would attenuate metabolic impairment in a model of severe cancer cachexia. Methods We used multiple in vivo and in vitro methods to explore the mechanisms ... -
Identification of novel genetic variants associated with cardiorespiratory fitness
Bye, Anja; Klevjer, Marie; Ryeng, Einar; Silva, Gustavo Jose Justo; Moreira, Jose Bianco Nascimento; Stensvold, Dorthe; Wisløff, Ulrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction Low maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is a strong and independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. For other CVD risk factors, numerous genetic association studies have been ... -
