The effect of eight-week total-body resistance training (TRX) on hemodynamic parameters and body composition in overweight and obese pre-hypertensive women by Fatemeh Movaghar, Ali Samadi, Amin Isanezhad, Maryam Khahesi

“…Between-group comparisons revealed that compared to the control group all body composition indices (body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, waist circumference and waist to hip ratio) and hemodynamic variables (resting heart rate, diastolic blood pressure, double product and mean arterial pressure) were significantly improved in the TRX group, except for systolic blood pressure (p=0.138) and pulse pressure (p=0.158).Conclusions: TRX training has a positive effect on body composition and hemodynamic parameters, except for systolic blood pressure, in overweight and obese women with pre-hypertension. …”

Mycobiota composition through the ripening of artisanal soft cheeses ‘Torta del Casar’ and ‘Queso de la Serena’ monitored by high-throughput sequencing by Almudena V. Merchán, Ángel Carlos Román, Santiago Ruiz-Moyano, María Vázquez-Hernández, Catalina M. Cabañas, María José Benito

“…The Protected Designation of Origin and the ripening time factors do not significantly influence the fungal diversity between different cheese samples, suggesting that minor changes in manufacturing practices between the type of cheeses have a negligible impact on mycobiota composition. By contrast, the dairy factor contributed to the variability of the fungal composition of each cheese type. …”
