Salivary testosterone and cortisol responses to seven weeks of practical blood flow restriction training in collegiate American football players by Paul E. Luebbers, Luke M. Kriley, Drake A. Eserhaut, Matthew J. Andre, Michael S. Butler, Andrew C. Fry

“…For the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio (T/C), AM pre-exercise was lower than PM (p < 0.05), with no change in post-exercise T/C for both AM and PM conditions when collapsed across testing times.DiscussionOverall, these findings suggest an ecologically valid method of BFR implementation is capable of inducing heightened concentrations of sTes in well-resistance trained American football athletes, providing additional insight on possible physiological mechanisms underpinning BFR’s ability to elicit beneficial muscle hypertrophy and maximal strength adaptations when performed during regimented training programs. …”

Correlation between aboveground vegetation composition and soil seed bank of Raudhat desert habitat: a case study of Raudhat Alkhafs, Saudi Arabia by Asma A. Al-Huqail, Hanan F. Al-Harbi, Abdullah M. Alowaifeer, Mohamed A. El-Sheikh, Abdulaziz M. Assaeed, Turki S. Alsaleem, Hazem S. Kassem, Omar M. Azab, Basharat A. Dar, Jahangir A. Malik, Ahmed M. Abd-ElGawad

“…Therophytes are distinguished as major (45.8%) because of their ability to tolerate arid environments, high reproduction rate, ecological flexibility, and genetic plasticity. Vegetation analysis showed three plant communities in the winter-spring season dominated by Plantago ciliata, Calotropis procera, and Heliotropium ramosissimum, while in the summer-fall season, Calotropis procera dominated one community, while two other plant communities were dominated by Heliotropium ramosissimum. …”
