GLYPROLINES AS MODULATORS OF IMMUNOREACTIVITY WITHIN CONDITIONS OF “SOCIAL” STRESS by M. A. Samotrueva, A. L. Yasenyavskaya, O. A. Bashkina, N. F. Myasoedov, L. A. Andreeva

“…The animals were divided into groups (n = 10): a “control” group was represented by individuals with aggressive and submissive types of behavior, formed within the conditions of the experimental “social stress” for 20 days; and 2 experimental groups in which the animals were intraperitoneally administered Selank (100 µg/kg) and Pro-Gly-Pro (100 µg/kg) against the background of the experimental “social” stress once a day for 20 days. A functional activity of the immune system was studied on the basis of standard immunopharmacological tests: a delayed-type hypersensitivity test (DTH test), a direct agglutination test (DAT), a latex test for studying the Neutrophil phagocytic rate of peripheral blood, and the essessment of the leucogram.Results. …”

The Diminished Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome by Liu Y, Liang Y, Ma H, Gao H, Zhang X

“…Mediation model regression analysis indicated a significant and direct detrimental effect of CKM syndrome on peak VO2 (β = − 228.502; P = 0.003), and a significant indirect partial effect of hemoglobin concentration on the direct effect (β = − 335.718; P < 0.001), with the percentage mediated through hemoglobin concentration of 46.9%.Conclusion: Individuals with CKM syndrome demonstrate compromised responses to CPET manifested by diminished exercise capacity and cardiac autonomic function. While diminished peak oxygen uptake can be partly explained by hemoglobin concentration as we found, further research is necessary to understand other underlying mechanisms.Keywords: cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cardiorespiratory fitness, Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing…”
