“…Characteristics of the participants are described in Table 1. They were matched by sex (male) and physical activity, the latter measured by the Voorrips index [20]. Type 2 diabetic patients (obese or non-obese) were recently diagnosed (5±0.8 years) and matched on baseline glucose-lowering agent use (mostly metformin).…”

Aims/hypothesis Intramyocellular lipids (IMCL) accumulation is a classical feature of metabolic diseases. We hypothesised that IMCL accumulate mainly as a consequence of increased adiposity and independently of type 2 diabetes. To test this, we examined IMCL accumulation in two different models and four different populations of participants: muscle biopsies and primary human muscle cells derived from non-obese and obese participants with or without type 2 diabetes. The mechanism regulating IMCL accumulation was also studied. Methods Muscle biopsies were obtained from ten non-obese and seven obese participants without type 2 diabetes, and from eight non-obese and eight obese type 2 diabetic patients. Mitochondrial respiration, citrate synthase activity and both ON, Canada Diabetologia (2010) 53:1151-1163 DOI 10.1007/s00125-010-1708 accumulation is dependent upon obesity or type 2 diabetes and is related to sarcolemmal FAT/CD36 relocation. In cultured myotubes, IMCL content and FAT/CD36 relocation are independent of type 2 diabetes, suggesting that distinct factors in obesity and type 2 diabetes contribute to permanent FAT/CD36 relocation ex vivo.

“…Participants in both age groups were subdivided based on self-reported sports participation levels, using the Modified Baecke Questionnaire (Baecke et al 1982;Voorrips et al 1991). The active young group consisted of 20 young adults who reported at least 5 h per week of sports specifically training the upper limb during the past year (badminton, tennis, or squash) and at least 3 h of weekly upper limb training for the active older group.…”

“…The Modified Baecke Questionnaire has been reported to provide fair-to-moderate assessment of physical activity level in older adults when compared with assessments obtained from direct physical measures such as energy expenditure (Hertogh et al 2008) or cardiorespiratory fitness (Mustelin et al 2011). However, both Baecke Questionnaire (Baecke et al 1982) and the Modified Baecke Questionnaire (Voorrips et al 1991) focus on physical activity levels over the past year and does not take into account the participant's earlier history of sport participation that could impact the aiming performance, for example, participation in competitive sports such as basketball or tennis. This shortcoming may provide an alternative explanation as to why differences between active and non-active older adults did not emerge consistently throughout the two experiments.…”

The present study examines whether nonactive older adults are more dependent on visual information when executing aiming movements and whether age-related declines in proprioception play a mediating role herein. Young (N = 40) and older adults (N = 38) were divided into physically active and non-active subgroups based on self-reported sports participation levels. In experiment 1, participants executed wrist-aiming movements with and without visual feedback. In experiment 2, passive proprioceptive acuity was assessed using wrist motion detection and position matching tests. Results showed similar aiming accuracy across age groups both with and without visual feedback, but older adults exhibited longer movement times, prolonged homing-in phase, and made more corrective submovements. Passive proprioceptive acuity was significantly affected by physical activity level and age, with participants in the active group scoring better than their non-active peers. However, these declines did not predict performance changes on the aiming task. Taken together, our observations suggest that decline in proprioceptive acuity did not predict performance changes on the aiming task and older adults were able to compensate for their decreased motion and position sense when allowed sufficient time. In line with these observations, we proposed that older adults are able to compensate for their decline in proprioception by increasing their reliance on predictive models.

The total physical activity score is a summary measure, combining household, occupational and recreational physical activity [41]. Missing values for physical activity score were imputed by the mean value of pre-or postmenopausal women (n ¼ 27).…”

Objective: Epidemiological studies suggest that individuals with elevated plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) are at increased risk of developing cancer. We assessed whether dietary intake of total energy, protein, alcohol, phytoestrogens and related foods, and tomatoes and lycopene was associated with plasma levels of IGF-I and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) in Dutch women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 224 premenopausal and 162 postmenopausal women, aged 49-69, participating in the Prospect-EPIC study in the Netherlands. Diet was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Results: In postmenopausal women, higher alcohol intake was associated with lower plasma IGFBP-1 concentrations (alcohol 1.4 to 20 g/day: 20% decrease in IGFBP-1; p ¼ 0.04), and higher intake of plant lignans was associated with higher IGFBP-1 concentrations (plant lignans 0 to 1 mg/day: 59% increase in IGFBP-1; p ¼ 0.02). Higher soy intake was associated with higher plasma IGFBP-2 concentrations in premenopausal women (soy 0 to 2.5 g/day: 3% increase in IGFBP-2; p ¼ 0.04). No independent associations of dietary factors with IGF-I or IGFBP-3 concentrations were observed. However, in premenopausal women alcohol intake was inversely associated with IGF-I and positively associated with IGFBP-3 after mutual adjustment. Conclusions: In this study population, with limited variation in dietary intake, total energy, protein, phytoestrogens and lycopene were not associated with IGF-I and IGFBP-3. Alcohol was inversely, and some measures of phytoestrogen intake were positively associated with plasma IGFBP-1 or -2 concentrations. The roles of IGFBP-1 and -2 in relation to IGF-I bioactivity and cancer deserve further investigation.
