Since the inflammatory response and free radical production with oxidative stress are likely involved in the mechanism leading to exercise-related muscle soreness, it seems plausible that supplementation with substances having anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties may be an effective means of controlling such soreness.
The selection excluded not only individuals with acute infections or chronic diseases, but also excluded healthy individuals undergoing supplementation with antioxidative substances.
Objective: To determine if dietary supplementation of these substances to patients with acute lung injury would increase ventilator-free days to study day 28.
While the effects of these two GHS differ clinically, they have synergistic effects on GH release, and therefore supplementation of both substances may be more effective than either alone in aging (Merriam et al 2000, 2002).
However, amino acid mixture and nucleotides are expensive and supplementation of these taste substances in the practical diet for O. marmorata may not be cost-effective.
In the previous studies, amino acids mixture and nucleotides were reported as the suitable feeding stimulant through behavioural assays (Lim et al. 2015, 2016, 2017) and dietary supplementation of these taste substances can be practiced to improve the weaning of O. marmorata (Lai et al. in press).
Furthermore, 3 weeks of supplementation with quercetin, another substance with known antioxidant properties, was not found to alter antioxidant capacity or oxidative damage, inflammation, muscle damage, or post-race muscle soreness from a 161-km ultramarathon [6, 15].
Several studies have shown that some anti-inflammatory substance supplementations are beneficial for attenuating eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (Connolly et al. 2006; Howatson et al. 2010; Trombold et al. 2010), but other did not find such effect (O'Fallon et al. 2012).
For many years, peptide supplementation often combined with other substances has been used to boost the immune system.
To help newly weaned pigs to cope with this transition, various nutritional approachesd have been proposed [ 28], including supplementation of the diet with substances that have properties of anti-microbials and/or IRMs [ 2].
