RESUMO
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The relationship between pre-meal insulin type, exercise timing and the risk of postprandial exercise-induced hypoglycaemia in people living with type 1 diabetes is unknown. We aimed to evaluate the effects of exercise timing (60 vs 120 min post meal) and different insulin types (aspart vs ultra-rapid aspart) on hypoglycaemic risk. METHODS: This was a four-way crossover randomised trial including 40 individuals with type 1 diabetes using multiple daily injections (mean HbA1c 56 mmol/mol [7.4%]). Participants, who were recruited from the Montreal Clinical Research Institute, undertook 60 min cycling sessions (60% of V Ë O 2 peak ) after breakfast (60 min [EX60min] or 120 min [EX120min] post meal) with 50% of their usual insulin dose (aspart or ultra-rapid aspart). Eligibility criteria included age ≥18 years old, clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes for at least 1 year and HbA1c ≤80 mmol/mol (9.5%). Participants were allocated using sequentially numbered, opaque sealed envelopes. Participants were masked to their group assignment, and each participant was allocated a unique identification number to ensure anonymisation. The primary outcome was change in blood glucose levels between exercise onset and nadir. RESULTS: Prior to exercise onset, time spent in hyperglycaemia was lower for EX60min vs EX120min (time >10.0 mmol/l: 56.6% [1.2-100%] vs 78.0% [52.7-97.9%]; p<0.001). The glucose reduction between exercise onset and nadir was less pronounced with EX60min vs EX120min (-3.8±2.7 vs -4.7±2.5 mmol/l; p<0.001). A similar number of hypoglycaemic events occurred during both exercise timings. Blood glucose between exercise onset and nadir decreased less with ultra-rapid aspart compared with aspart (-4.1±2.3 vs -4.4±2.8 mmol/l; p=0.037). While a similar number of hypoglycaemic events during exercise were observed, less post-exercise hypoglycaemia occurred with ultra-rapid aspart (n=0, 0%, vs n=15, 38%; p=0.003). No interactions between insulin types and exercise timings were found. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: EX60min blunted the pre-exercise glucose increase following breakfast and was associated with a smaller glucose reduction during exercise. Ultra-rapid aspart led to a smaller blood glucose reduction during exercise and might be associated with diminished post-exercise hypoglycaemia.

RESUMO
Long-term hyperglycemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) can detrimentally impact pulmonary function and muscle oxygenation. As a result, these factors can impede the body's adaptation to physical exertion. We aimed to evaluate the oxygen pathway during maximal exercise among overweight/obese individuals with type 2 diabetes free from complications, in comparison with a group of matched overweight/obese individuals without diabetes, specifically concentrating on the effects on pulmonary function and muscle oxygenation. Fifteen overweight/obese adults with type 2 diabetes [glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) = 8.3 ± 1.2%] and 15 matched overweight/obese adults without diabetes underwent pre- and post exercise lung function assessment. A maximal incremental exercise test was conducted, monitoring muscle oxygenation using near-infrared spectroscopy and collecting arterial blood gas samples. Both groups exhibited normal lung volumes at rest and after exercise. Spirometric lung function did not significantly differ pre- and post exercise in either group. During maximal exercise, the type 2 diabetes group showed significantly lower augmentation in total hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin compared with the control group. Despite comparable usual physical activity levels and comparable heart rates at exhaustion, the type 2 diabetes group had a lower peak oxygen consumption than controls. No significant differences were found in arterial blood gas analyses ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]) between the groups. Individuals with type 2 diabetes free from complications displayed normal pulmonary function at rest and post exercise. However, impaired skeletal muscle oxygenation during exercise, resulting from reduced limb blood volume and altered muscle deoxygenation, may contribute to the lower VÌo2peak observed in this population.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Individuals with type 2 diabetes free from micro- and macrovascular complications have normal resting pulmonary function, but their VÌo2peak is impaired due to poor skeletal muscle oxygenation during exercise. Tailoring exercise regimes for this population should prioritize interventions aimed at enhancing muscle oxygenation and blood flow improvement.

AIMS: Type 1 diabetes is associated with a substantially increased risk of impaired lung function, which may impair aerobic fitness. We therefore aimed to examine the ventilatory response during maximal exercise and the pulmonary diffusion capacity function at rest in individuals with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes. METHODS: In all, 17 adults with type 1 diabetes free from micro-macrovascular complications (glycated haemoglobin: 8.0 ± 1.3%), and 17 non-diabetic adults, carefully matched to the type 1 diabetes group according to gender, age, level of physical activity and body composition, participated in our study. Lung function was assessed by spirometry and measurements of the combined diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) and carbon monoxide (DLCO) at rest. Subjects performed a maximal exercise test during which the respiratory parameters were measured. RESULTS: At rest, DLCO (30.4 ± 6.1 ml min-1 mmHg-1 vs. 31.4 ± 5.7 ml min-1 mmHg-1 , respectively, p = 0.2), its determinants Dm (membrane diffusion capacity) and Vc (pulmonary capillary volume) were comparable among type 1 diabetes and control groups, respectively. Nevertheless, spirometry parameters (forced vital capacity = 4.9 ± 1.0 L vs. 5.5 ± 1.0 L, p < 0.05; forced expiratory volume 1 = 4.0 ± 0.7 L vs. 4.3 ± 0.7 L, p < 0.05) were lower in individuals with type 1 diabetes, although in the predicted normal range. During exercise, ventilatory response to exercise was different between the two groups: tidal volume was lower in type 1 diabetes vs. individuals without diabetes (p < 0.05). Type 1 diabetes showed a reduced VO2max (34.7 ± 6.8 vs. 37.9 ± 6.3, respectively, p = 0.04) in comparison to healthy subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes display normal alveolar-capillary diffusion capacity and at rest, while their forced vital capacity, tidal volumes and VO2 are reduced during maximal exercise.

We aimed to investigate the combined effects of aerobic exercise (EXE) and cocoa flavanol (COCOA) supplementation on performance, metabolic parameters, and inflammatory and lipid profiles in obese insulin-resistant rats. Therefore, 32 male Wistar rats (230-250 g) were fed a high-fat diet and a fructose-rich beverage for 30 days to induce insulin resistance. Next, the rats were randomized into four groups, orally administered placebo solution or COCOA supplementation (45 mg·kg-1), and either remained sedentary or were subjected to EXE on a treadmill at 60% peak velocity for 30 min, for 8 weeks. Blood samples and peripheral tissues were collected and processed to analyze metabolic and inflammatory parameters, lipid profiles, and morphological parameters. Supplementation with COCOA and EXE improved physical performance and attenuated body mass gain, adipose index, and adipocyte area. When analyzed as individual interventions, supplementation with COCOA and EXE improved glucose intolerance and the lipid profile reduced the concentrations of leptin, glucose, and insulin, and reduced homeostasis assessment index (all effects were p < .001 for both interventions), while ameliorated some inflammatory mediators in examined tissues. In skeletal muscles, both COCOA supplementation and EXE increased the expression of glucose transporter (p < .001 and p < .001), and combined intervention showed additive effects (p < .001 vs. COCOA alone or EXE alone). Thus, combining COCOA with EXE represents an effective nonpharmacological strategy to treat insulin resistance; it could prevent Type 2 diabetes mellitus by improving physical performance, glucose metabolism, neuroendocrine control, and lipid and inflammatory mediators in the liver, pancreas, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle in obese male insulin-resistant rats.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Early compromised endothelial function challenges the ability of individuals with type 1 diabetes to perform normal physical exercise. The exact mechanisms underlying this vascular limitation remain unknown, but may involve either formation or metabolism of nitric oxide (NO), a major vasodilator, whose activity is known to be compromised by oxidative stress. METHODS: Muscle microvascular reactivity (near-infrared spectroscopy) to an incremental exhaustive bout of exercise was assessed in 22 adults with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes (HbA1c 64.5 ± 15.7 mmol/mol; 8.0 ± 1.4%) and in 21 healthy individuals (18-40 years of age). NO-related substrates/metabolites were also measured in the blood along with other vasoactive compounds and oxidative stress markers; measurements were taken at rest, at peak exercise and after 15 min of recovery. Demographic characteristics, body composition, smoking status and diet were comparable in both groups. RESULTS: Maximal oxygen uptake was impaired in individuals with type 1 diabetes compared with in healthy participants (35.6 ± 7.7 vs 39.6 ± 6.8 ml min-1 kg-1, p < 0.01) despite comparable levels of habitual physical activity (moderate to vigorous physical activity by accelerometery, 234.9 ± 160.0 vs 280.1 ± 114.9 min/week). Compared with non-diabetic participants, individuals with type 1 diabetes also displayed a blunted exercise-induced vasoreactivity (muscle blood volume at peak exercise as reflected by ∆ total haemoglobin, 2.03 ± 5.82 vs 5.33 ± 5.54 µmol/l; interaction 'exercise' × 'group', p < 0.05); this was accompanied by lower K+ concentration (p < 0.05), reduced plasma L-arginine (p < 0.05)-in particular when HbA1c was high (mean estimation: -4.0, p < 0.05)-and lower plasma urate levels (p < 0.01). Nonetheless, exhaustive exercise did not worsen lipid peroxidation or other oxidative stress biomarkers, and erythrocytic enzymatic antioxidant resources were mobilised to a comparable extent in both groups. Nitrite and total nitrosation products, which are potential alternative NO sources, were similarly unaltered. Graphical abstract CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Participants with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes displayed reduced availability of L-arginine, the essential substrate for enzymatic nitric oxide synthesis, as well as lower levels of the major plasma antioxidant, urate. Lower urate levels may reflect a defect in the activity of xanthine oxidase, an enzyme capable of producing NO from nitrite under hypoxic conditions. Thus, both canonical and non-canonical NO production may be reduced. However, neither of these changes exacerbated exercise-induced oxidative stress.

In the sports domain, cannabis is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) across all sports in competition since 2004. The few studies on physical exercise and cannabis focused on the main compound i.e. Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another well-known phytocannabinoid present in dried or heated preparations of cannabis. Unlike Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, CBD is non-intoxicating but exhibits pharmacological properties that are interesting for medical use. The worldwide regulatory status of CBD is complex and this compound is still a controlled substance in many countries. Interestingly, however, the World Anti-Doping Agency removed CBD from the list of prohibited substances - in or out of competition - since 2018. This recent decision by the WADA leaves the door open for CBD use by athletes. In the present opinion article we wish to expose the different CBD properties discovered in preclinical studies that could be further tested in the sport domain to ascertain its utility. Preclinical studies suggest that CBD could be useful to athletes due to its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic, neuroprotective properties and its influence on the sleep-wake cycle. Unfortunately, almost no clinical data are available on CBD in the context of exercise, which makes its use in this context still premature.

NEW FINDINGS: What is the central question of this study? Is there an association of plasma concentration of asymmetric dimethylarginine, which is related to exercise capacity in patients with cardiovascular diseases, with oxygen delivery and subsequently exercise capacity in healthy subjects in the absence of the potentially confounding influence of inflammation and oxidative stress? What is the main finding and its importance? Plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine concentrations are not related to exercise capacity in healthy subjects, while O2 delivery in the working skeletal muscle during the maximal graded-exercise test is not associated with any of the l-arginine analogues. ADMA alone does not play a crucial role in local muscle perfusion and in maintaining exercise capacity. ABSTRACT: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis that could limit oxygen (O2 ) delivery in the working skeletal muscles by altering endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. Exercise capacity is associated with plasma ADMA concentrations in patients with cardiovascular diseases, but this issue has still not been investigated in healthy subjects. We aimed to determine whether plasma ADMA concentrations were negatively associated with exercise capacity in young healthy male subjects. Ten men with maximal oxygen uptake ( V Ì O 2 max ) > 65 mL kg-1 min-1 were included in the high exercise capacity group (HI-FIT), and 10 men with V Ì O 2 max < 45 mL kg-1 min-1 were included in the low exercise capacity group (LO-FIT). Plasma ADMA and other l-arginine analogue concentrations were measured before and after a maximal graded-exercise test by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Microvascular O2 delivery during exercise was estimated through the pattern from the sigmoid model of muscle deoxygenation in the vastus lateralis measured by near infrared spectroscopy. V Ì O 2 max was 60% higher in the HI-FIT group (median: 70.2 mL kg-1 min-1 ; IQR: 68.0-71.9 mL kg-1 min-1 ) than in the LO-FIT group (median: 43.8 mL kg-1 min-1 ; IQR: 34.8-45.3 mL kg-1 min-1 ). Plasma ADMA concentrations did not differ between the LO-FIT and HI-FIT groups before (0.50 ± 0.06 vs. 0.54 ± 0.07 µmol L-1 , respectively) and after the maximal incremental exercise test (0.49 ± 0.08 vs. 0.55 ± 0.03 µmol L-1 , respectively). There was no significant association of plasma ADMA concentrations with the pattern of local muscle deoxygenation and exercise capacity. Exercise capacity and microvascular O2 delivery are not related to plasma ADMA concentrations in young healthy male subjects. Our findings show that ADMA does not play a crucial role in local muscle perfusion and in maintaining exercise capacity without pathological conditions.

OBJECTIVES: In this study we explore the impact of postprandial exercise timing (morning vs evening) on glycemia in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) during short all-out sprints on a cycle ergometer. METHODS: Ten healthy physically sedentary male (n=7) and female (n=3) volunteers with type 1 diabetes, 22.8±2.8 years of age, and with a diabetes duration of 9.7±5.5 years and glycated hemoglobin level of 8.6±1.2%, underwent comprehensive screening and assessment of their physical health and fitness status before study participation, under the guidance of a physician. Each participant underwent 2 postprandial exercise sessions on separate days: the first in the morning at 8:00 AM and second in the evening at 8:00 PM, both conducted 60 minutes after a standardized meal. RESULTS: Morning exercise showed a less pronounced reduction in plasma glucose (PG) levels compared with evening exercise (-2.01±1.24 vs -3.56±1.6 mmol/L, p=0.03). In addition, higher cortisol levels were observed in the morning vs evening (128.59±34 vs 67.79±26 ng/mL, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Morning repeated sprint exercise conducted in the postprandial state consistent with the protective effect of higher cortisol levels resulted in a smaller reduction in PG levels compared with evening exercise. This highlights the potential influence of exercise timing on glycemic responses and cortisol secretion in the management of T1D.
RESUMO
AIM: From an early age, exercise is key to managing type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, hypoglycemia around aerobic exercise is a major barrier to physical activity in children. We explore whether intermittent high-intensity aerobic exercise (IHE), designed to mimic spontaneous childhood physical activity patterns, offers better protection against glycemic drop than continuous moderate-intensity exercise (CME). METHODS: Five boys and 7 girls with T1D (9.8 ± 1.4y) performed ergo cycle-based randomized CME and IHE of identical duration and total mechanical load [50 %PWC170vs. 15sec(150 %PWC170)/30 sec passive recovery; both during two 10-min sets, 5 min in-between]. Capillary glycemia during exercise and interstitial glucose during recovery were compared between exercises and an inactive condition, controlling for baseline glycemia, carbohydrate and insulin. RESULTS: The exercise-induced decrease in capillary glycemia was attenuated by 1.47 mmol·L-1 for IHE vs. CME (P < 0.05). No symptomatic hypoglycemic episodes occurred during exercises. Post-exercise time in hypoglycemia did not differ between conditions. During early recovery, CME reduced time spent > 16.7 mmol·L-1 compared with inactive days (P < 0.05; CME: 0 %; IHE: 16,7 %; INACTIVE: 41,7 %). CONCLUSION: IHE appeared to limit the glycemic drop compared to CME. Performing 20-min CME or IHE was not associated with increased hypoglycemic risk compared to being inactive. CME appeared even transiently protective against serious hyperglycemia.

Acute kidneys injuries (AKIs) have been described in marathon and trail running. The currently available data allows assessment of before/after comparisons but does not allow an analysis of what happens during the race. A multidisciplinary assessment protocol was performed during the first trail of Clécy (Normandy France) in November 2021. This allowed an initial assay to be carried out, then at the end of each of the 6 loops of 26 km, and finally after 24 h of recovery. The race extends over 156 km in hilly terrain and 6000 m of elevation gain (D+). The level of impairment according to the RIFLE classification was defined for each runner at each assay. Fifty-five runners were at the start, and the per protocol analysis involved 36 runners (27 men and 9 women, 26 finishers). Fifteen (41.7%) of the riders presented at least one result corresponding to a "RIFLE risk" level. After 24 h of rest, only one runner still had a "RIFLE Risk". The distance around the marathon seems to be the moment of greatest risk. For the first time, we find an association between this renal risk and the probability of abandonment. Many runners are vulnerable to kidney damage during long-duration exercise, which is why it's important to limit risk situations, such as the use of potentially toxic drugs or hydration disorders. The consumption of NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) before or during an ultra-distance race should therefore be prohibited. Attention should be paid to hydration disorders.

BACKGROUND: Ultra-trail running races pose appreciable physiological challenges, particularly for glucose metabolism. Previous studies that yielded divergent results only measured glycaemia at isolated times. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to explore the impact of an ultra-endurance race on continuously measured glycaemia and to understand potential physiological mechanisms, as well as the consequences for performance and behavioural alertness. METHODS: Fifty-five athletes (78% men, 43.7 ± 9.6 years) ran a 156-km ultra-trail race (six 26-km laps, total elevation 6000 m). Participants wore a masked continuous glucose monitoring sensor from the day before the race until 10 days post-race. Blood was taken at rest, during refuelling stops after each lap, and after 24-h recovery. Running intensity (% heart rate reserve), performance (lap times), psychological stress, and behavioural alertness were explored. Linear mixed models and logistic regressions were carried out. RESULTS: No higher risk of hypo- or hyperglycaemia was observed during the exercise phases of the race (i.e. excluding stops for scientific measurements and refuelling) compared with resting values. Laps comprising a greater proportion of time spent at maximal aerobic intensity were nevertheless associated with more time > 180 mg/dL (P = 0.021). A major risk of hyperglycaemia appeared during the 48-h post-race period compared with pre-race (P < 0.05), with 31.9% of the participants spending time with values > 180 mg/dL during recovery versus 5.5% during resting. Changes in circulating insulin, cortisol, and free fatty acids followed profiles comparable with those usually observed during traditional aerobic exercise. However, creatine phosphokinase, and to a lesser extent lactate dehydrogenase, increased exponentially during the race (P < 0.001) and remained high at 24-h post-race (P < 0.001; respectively 43.6 and 1.8 times higher vs. resting). Glycaemic metrics did not influence physical performance or behavioural alertness. CONCLUSION: Ultra-endurance athletes were exposed to hyperglycaemia during the 48-h post-race period, possibly linked to muscle damage and inflammation. Strategies to mitigate muscle damage or subsequent inflammation before or after ultra-trail races could limit recovery hyperglycaemia and hence its related adverse health consequences.

OBJECTIVES: Ever since the first research on barriers to physical activity (PA) highlighting fear of hypoglycemia as a major barrier, many studies have attempted to understand their demographic and behavioural determinants. However, no research has been conducted on whether these perceived barriers toward PA are based on real-life-experienced adverse glycemic effects of exercise. METHODS: Sixty-two adults and 53 children/adolescents living with type 1 diabetes, along with their parents, completed the Barriers to Physical Activity in Type 1 Diabetes-1 (BAPAD-1) questionnaire on barriers to PA. Continuous glucose-monitoring data were collected during 1 week of everyday life for 26 adults and 33 children/adolescents. Multiple linear regressions were used to explore links between BAPAD-1 scores and glycemic excursions experienced during and after everyday-life self-reported PA sessions, controlling for behavioural (accelerometry) and demographic confounders. RESULTS: In children/adolescents, the more time spent in hypoglycemia on nights after PA sessions, the more they reported hypoglycemic risk as a barrier (ß=+0.365, p=0.034). Conversely, in adults, the higher the proportion of PA sessions accompanied by a drop in blood glucose, the less hypoglycemia was a barrier (ß=-0.046, p=0.004). In parents, BAPAD-1 scores were unrelated to children/adolescents' everyday-life exercise-induced hypo/hyperglycemia. CONCLUSIONS: In children/adolescents, fear of hypoglycemia was predominant in those exposed to nocturnal hypoglycemia associated with PA sessions. In adults, fewer barriers may mean they accept a bigger drop in their glycemia during PA. This shows the importance of finding and promoting age-specific solutions to prevent exercise-induced hypoglycemia.

Objective: Studies investigating strategies to limit the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia associated with physical activity (PA) are scarce and have been conducted in standardized, controlled conditions in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study sought to investigate the effect of daily PA level on nocturnal glucose management in free-living conditions while taking into consideration reported mitigation strategies to limit the risk of nocturnal hyoglycemia in people with T1D. Methods: Data from 25 adults (10 males, 15 females, HbA1c: 7.6 ± 0.8%), 20-60 years old, living with T1D, were collected. One week of continuous glucose monitoring and PA (assessed using an accelerometer) were collected in free-living conditions. Nocturnal glucose values (midnight-6:00 am) following an active day "ACT" and a less active day "L-ACT" were analyzed to assess the time spent within the different glycemic target zones (<3.9 mmol/L; 3.9 - 10.0 mmol/L and >10.0 mmol/L) between conditions. Self-reported data about mitigation strategies applied to reduce the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia was also analyzed. Results: Only 44% of participants reported applying a carbohydrate- or insulin-based strategy to limit the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia on ACT day. Nocturnal hypoglycemia occurrences were comparable on ACT night versus on L-ACT night. Additional post-meal carbohydrate intake was higher on evenings following ACT (27.7 ± 15.6 g, ACT vs. 19.5 ± 11.0 g, L-ACT; P=0.045), but was frequently associated with an insulin bolus (70% of participants). Nocturnal hypoglycemia the night following ACT occurred mostly in people who administrated an additional insulin bolus before midnight (3 out of 5 participants with nocturnal hypoglycemia). Conclusions: Although people with T1D seem to be aware of the increased risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia associated with PA, the risk associated with additional insulin boluses may not be as clear. Most participants did not report using compensation strategies to reduce the risk of PA related late-onset hypoglycemia which may be because they did not consider habitual PA as something requiring treatment adjustments.

Objective: We investigated the effect of two key timings for basal insulin rate reduction on exercise-induced glucose changes and explored the association between circulating insulin concentrations and muscle vasoreactivity. Research Design and Methods: Twenty adults and adolescents performed 60-min exercise sessions (ergocycle) at 60% VO2peak, 240 min after a standardized lunch. In a randomized order, we compared an 80% basal insulin reduction applied 40 min (T-40) or 90 min (T-90) before exercise onset. Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to investigate muscle hemodynamics at vastus lateralis. Glucose and insulin plasma concentrations were measured. Results: Reduction in plasma glucose (PG) level during exercise was attenuated during T-90 versus T-40 strategy (-0.89 ± 1.89 mmol/L vs. -2.17 ± 2.49 mmol/L, respectively; P = 0.09). Linear mixed model analysis showed that PG dropped by an additional 0.01 mM per minute in T-40 versus T-90 (time × strategy interaction, P < 0.05). The absolute number of hypoglycemic events was not different between the two strategies, but they occurred later with T-90. Free insulin tends to decrease more during the pre-exercise period in the T-90 strategy (P = 0.08). Although local muscle vasodilatation (ΔTHb) was comparable between the two strategies, we found that PG dropped more in cases of higher exercise-induced skeletal muscle vasodilatation (ΔTHb × time interaction P < 0.005, e: -0.0086 mM/min and additional mM of ΔTHb). Conclusion: T-90 timing reduced exercise-induced drop in PG and delayed the occurrence of hypoglycemic episodes compared with T-40 timing without a significant reduction in the number of events requiring treatment.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high risk of vascular complications. Interestingly, cocoa flavanols (CF) can exert beneficial vascular effects in non-diabetic subjects. However, these effects have only been scarcely studied in T2DM. Therefore, we performed a study to assess the effects on vascular reactivity of a single dose of CF (790 mg) in T2DM and whether certain antihypertensive drugs may modulate these effects. METHODS: 24 non-diabetic and 11 T2DM subjects were studied in a cross-over design. Fasting blood samples, blood pressure (BP), and arterial vasoreactivity (flow-mediated dilation) were assessed before and 70 min after capsule ingestion. Muscle microvascular reactivity was only assessed after capsule ingestion. Age, waist-to-hip ratio, BP at baseline, and the use of antihypertensive drugs were regarded as covariates in a mixed models analysis. RESULTS: CF ingestion did not affect any parameter. However, independent of the type of capsules ingested, a decrease in diastolic BP by 3 mmHg (95% CI: -4.0; -2.0) and an increase in the change in brachial artery diameter (pre vs. post occlusion) by 0.06 mm (95% CI: 0.01; 0.12) were detected in the non-diabetic group, while they remained unchanged in the T2DM group. CONCLUSION: No beneficial effects of CF were detected on vascular reactivity parameters in T2DM and non-diabetic participants.

BACKGROUND: The growing interest of the scientific community in trail running has highlighted the acute effects of practice at the time of these races on isolated aspects of physiological and structural systems; biological, physiological, cognitive, and muscular functions; and the psychological state of athletes. However, no integrative study has been conducted under these conditions with so many participants and monitoring of pre-, per-, and postrace variables for up to 10 days over a distance close to 100 miles. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the kinetics of the performance parameters during a 156 km trail run and 6000 m of elevation gain in pre-, per-, and postrace conditions. The general hypothesis is based on significant alterations in the psychological, physiological, mechanical, biological, and cognitive parameters. METHODS: The Trail Scientifique de Clécy took place on November 11, 2021. This prospective experimental study provides a comprehensive exploration of the constraints and adaptations of psychophysiological and sociological variables assessed in real race conditions during a trail running of 156 km on hilly ground and 6000 m of elevation gain (D+). The study protocol allowed for repeatability of study measurements under the same experimental conditions during the race, with the race being divided into 6 identical loops of 26 km and 1000 m D+. Measurements were conducted the day before and the morning of the race, at the end of each lap, after a pit stop, and up to 10 days after the race. A total of 55 participants were included, 43 (78%) men and 12 (22%) women, who were experienced in ultra-trail-running events and with no contraindications to the practice of this sport. RESULTS: The launch of the study was authorized on October 26, 2021, under the trial number 21-0166 after a favorable opinion from the Comité de Protection des Personnes Ouest III (21.09.61/SIRIPH 2G 21.01586.000009). Of the 55 runners enrolled, 41 (75%) completed the race and 14 (25%) dropped out for various reasons, including gastric problems, hypothermia, fatigue, and musculoskeletal injuries. All the measurements for each team were completed in full. The race times (ie, excluding the measurements) ranged from 17.8206 hours for the first runner to 35.9225 hours for the last runner. The average time to complete all measurements for each lap was 64 (SD 3) minutes. CONCLUSIONS: The Trail Scientifique de Clécy, by its protocol, allowed for a multidisciplinary approach to the discipline. This approach will allow for the explanation of the studied parameters in relation to each other and observation of the systems of dependence and independence. The initial results are expected in June 2022. INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT IDENTIFIER (IRRID): RR1-10.2196/38027.
RESUMO
Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed in a broad range of human diseases, including rare genetic disorders and complex acquired pathologies. For this reason, there is increasing interest in identifying safe and effective strategies to mitigate mitochondrial impairments. Natural compounds are widely used for multiple indications, and their broad healing properties suggest that several may improve mitochondrial function. This review focuses on (-)-epicatechin, a monomeric flavanol, and its effects on mitochondria. The review summarizes the available data on the effects of acute and chronic (-)-epicatechin supplementation on mitochondrial function, outlines the potential mechanisms involved in mitochondrial biogenesis induced by (-)-epicatechin supplementation and discusses some future therapeutic applications.

Introduction: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at high risk to develop vascular complications resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Cocoa flavanols are promising nutraceuticals with possible beneficial vascular effects in humans. However, limited research is currently available on the vascular effects in a diabetic population with inconsistent results. Possible reasons for this inconsistency might be heterogeneity in the given intervention (dose per time and day, single dose vs. split-dose, placebo formula) and the studied population (blood pressure at baseline, duration of diabetes, use of vasoactive antihypertensive and antidiabetic drugs, sex). Therefore, we aimed to develop a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled cross-over trial to investigate whether cocoa flavanols have an acute impact on blood pressure and vascular reactivity in patients with type 2 diabetes with and without arterial hypertension. Methods and Analysis: We will include participants in four groups: (i) patients with type 2 diabetes without arterial hypertension, (ii) patients with type 2 diabetes with arterial hypertension and 1 antihypertensive drug, (iii) non-diabetic participants with essential hypertension and 1 antihypertensive drug, and (iv) healthy controls. All participants will complete the same protocol on both testing days, consuming high-flavanol cocoa extract (790 mg flavanols) or placebo. Macrovascular endothelial function (flow-mediated dilation) and blood pressure will be measured before and after capsule ingestion. Forearm muscle vasoreactivity (near-infrared spectroscopy) and brachial artery blood flow (echo-doppler) will be assessed in response to a dynamic handgrip exercise test after capsule ingestion. Data will be analyzed with a random intercept model in mixed models. Clinical Trial Registration: www.Clinicaltrials.gov, identifier: NCT03722199.
RESUMO
Physical activity (PA) is important for individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) due to its various health benefits. Nonetheless, maintaining adequate glycemic control around PA remains a challenge for many individuals living with T1D because of the difficulty in properly managing circulating insulin levels around PA. Although the most common problem is increased incidence of hypoglycemia during and after most types of PA, hyperglycemia can also occur. Accordingly, a large proportion of people living with T1D are sedentary partly due to the fear of PA-associated hypoglycemia. Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) offers a higher precision and flexibility to adjust insulin basal rates and boluses according to the individual's specific needs around PA practice. Indeed, for physically active patients with T1D, CSII can be a preferred option to facilitate glucose regulation. To our knowledge, there are no guidelines to manage exercise-induced hypoglycemia during PA, specifically for individuals living with T1D and using CSII. In this review, we highlight the current state of knowledge on exercise-related glucose variations, especially hypoglycemic risk and its underlying physiology. We also detail the current recommendations for insulin modulations according to the different PA modalities (type, intensity, duration, frequency) in individuals living with T1D using CSII.
