Alterations in the structural characteristics of rectus abdominis muscles caused by diabetes and pregnancy: A comparative study of the rat model and women
(PLoS ONE, 2020) [Artigo]Background and objective In the present study, we compared the effect of diabetic pregnancy on the rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) in humans and rats. We hypothesized that our animal model could provide valuable information ... -
Study protocol to investigate biomolecular muscle profile as predictors of long-term urinary incontinence in women with gestational diabetes mellitus
(BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2020) [Artigo]Background: Pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and rectus abdominis muscles (RAM) of pregnant diabetic rats exhibit atrophy, co-localization of fast and slow fibers and an increased collagen type I/III ratio. However, the role of ... -
Kinematic gait parameters for older adults with Parkinson's disease during street crossing simulation
(Human Movement Science, 2020) [Artigo]Safe street crossing is important for older adults' social inclusion. We assessed gait kinematic adaptation under different simulated street crossing conditions in older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD) and made ... -
Exercise training attenuates angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction in the aorta of normotensive but not hypertensive rats
(Experimental Physiology, 2020) [Artigo]New Findings: What is the central question of this study? What are the effects of exercise on Ang II-induced vasoconstriction in aortas of normotensive rats and how do these effects occur in two-kidney–one-clip hypertensive ... -
Everyday tasks impair spatiotemporal variables of gait in older adults with Parkinson's disease
(Human Movement Science, 2020) [Artigo]Introduction: Although it is known that individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) have difficulties performing dual-task activities, most of the studies have verified the effect of dual tasks on gait using tasks that are ... -
