Commentary on: Metabolic and structural effects of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate injections on subcutaneous fat: a randomized, controlled trial

This 2013 commentary by Diane Duncan critically evaluates the study by Reeds et al., which investigated the effects of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC) injections on subcutaneous fat. Duncan highlights the study’s findings that PC-DC injections can reduce abdominal fat thickness without significant systemic metabolic changes. However, she raises concerns

The effects of cold exposure on leukocytes, hormones and cytokines during acute exercise in humans

This study examined the effects of cold exposure on the inflammatory and immune responses during exercise. Nine healthy male participants completed treadmill exercises in both cold (0°C) and thermoneutral (22°C) environments, with and without pre-exercise shivering thermogenesis. The findings suggest that cold exposure during exercise reduces the systemic inflammatory response,

The Effects of Cold Exposure Training and a Breathing Exercise on the Inflammatory Response in Humans: A Pilot Study

This pilot study explored the effects of cold exposure training combined with a specific breathing exercise on the inflammatory response in healthy males. The intervention increased plasma epinephrine levels and significantly attenuated the LPS-induced inflammatory response, highlighting its potential to modulate immune responses. While the study showed promise, its small
