Effects of Tai Chi Training on Antioxidant Capacity in Pre- and Postmenopausal Women by Attakorn Palasuwan, Daroonwan Suksom, Irène Margaritis, Suphan Soogarun, Anne-Sophie Rousseau

“…Besides the well-known effects of TC on balance, flexibility, and maximum leg extensor strength, TC (1) increased erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity—an aerobic training-responsive antioxidant enzyme—and plasma total antioxidant status and (2) decreased plasma total homocysteine, a cardiovascular risk marker. In addition to being a low-velocity, low-impact, and relatively safe, TC is a suitable physical activity design for pre- and postmenopausal women to increase antioxidant defenses. …”

Inflammatory Role of Toll-Like Receptors in Human and Murine Adipose Tissue by Odile Poulain-Godefroy, Olivier Le Bacquer, Pauline Plancq, Cécile Lecœur, François Pattou, Gema Frühbeck, Philippe Froguel

“…Murine 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells stimulated with Pam3CSK4 induced the expression of some proinflammatory markers. Therefore, beside TLR4, other toll-like receptors are differentially expressed in human fat tissue, and functional in an adipocyte cell line, suggesting that they might participate omental adipose tissue-related inflammation that occurs in obesity.…”

Homais et le journal by Corinne Trichet
