Evolutionary trade-offs in a small mammal : a quantitative genetics approach
2017
Limited resources force individuals to trade-off between life-history traits. A vast diversity of life-history strategies, which optimally combine life history traits, can be found. Knowledge of the genetic basis of this phenotypic variation is key to understanding evolutionary processes. I approached life-history evolution by estimating quantitative genetic parameters for a set of life-history traits in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). The work is based on a laboratory-kept colony subjected to two-way selection for litter size (High- (H) and Low- (L) lines). Costs of the created reproductive strategies were observed in natural conditions. Selection increased the difference in litter size …
Basal Endogenous Steroid Hormones, Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin, Physical Fitness, and Health Risk Factors in Young Adult Men.
2018
Purpose: Few large-scale population-based studies have adequately examined the relationships between steroid hormones, health status and physical fitness. The purpose of the study was to describe the relationship of serum basal endogenous steroid hormones (testosterone, TES; empirical free testosterone, EFT; cortisol, COR) and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) to body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, and physical fitness in young healthy men. Methods: Male reservists (25 ± 4 years, N = 846) participated in the study. Basal TES, EFT, COR, and SHBG were measured in morning fasted blood. Stepwise regression analyses were used to examine associations between individual hormones to fo…
Effects of an 8-day field training on body composition, serum hormone concentrations and maximal force production in military conscripts
2015
Savolainen, S. 2015. Effects of an 8-day field training on body composition, serum hormone concentrations and maximal force production in military conscripts, 64p. University of Jyväskylä. Department of Biology of Physical Activity. Science of Sports Coaching and Fitness Testing. The aim of this study was to examine physiological consequences on 8-day strenuous military field exercise. 26 men (20 ± 1 yrs, 53,7 ± 4,5ml/kg/min, 178,4 ± 7,2cm, 71,2 ± 7,2kg) in the end of their military service participated in the study. The research data was collected in five testing day (pre1, pre2, middle, post and follow-up); body composition, physical performance and basal blood levels were measured. The c…
Associations of serum 25(OH)D levels with physical performance and anabolic hormones in young men
2023
Purpose: The present study examined the association of vitamin D measured by serum 25(OH)D with physical performance outcomes and serum levels of anabolic hormones in young men.Methods: 412 young men (age 19 ± 1 year) entering their compulsory military service volunteered to participate in the study. The study consisted of two groups from two different military bases: Group A was studied in January and group B in July. The groups were first compared with each other and due to statistically significant (p < 0.001 analyzed with independent samples t-test) differences in physical condition (sit-up, push-up, and standing long jump-tests and testosterone levels) between the groups, groups…
Yhdistetyn kestävyys- ja voimaharjoittelun hormonaaliset vaikutukset emäksisyyttä ja happamuutta tuottavalla ravinnolla 12 viikon aikana
2013
Johdanto. Riittävä energian- ja proteiininsaanti ovat avainasemassa, kun fyysisellä harjoittelulla halutaan saavuttaa tuloksia. Yhdessä harjoittelu ja ravinto aiheuttavat muutoksia elimistön hormonitoimintaan ja tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena olikin tarkastella kestävyys- ja voimaharjoittelun ja kahden erilaisen ruokavalion vaikutuksia veren testosteroni-, kortisoli- ja SHBG- pitoisuuksiin sekä muutoksiin virtsan pH:ssa. Menetelmät. Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 49 kuntoliikuntaa harrastavaa naista ja miestä, jotka jaettiin kahteen ruokavalioryhmään (EMÄS / HAPAN). EMÄS -ryhmän ruokavalio oli arvioitu PRAL (potential renal acid load = potentiaalinen munuaisten happokuorma) -menetelmän a…
