This adipokine is secreted into circulation in three different oligomeric forms: trimers, hexamers, and high-molecular-weight (HMW) oligomers. The HMW form is the most active in the regulation of body weight and energy balance (3). Adiponectin plays a key role in metabolic adaptation induced by physical exercise (4,5). While its regulation after aerobic exercise has been widely investigated, less is known about its short-term modulation after strength training in healthy subjects. In this study, nine resistance-trained young men have been enrolled to perform two different sessions of total-body resistance exercises. The first training session (ETS1) was characterized by high time under tension TUT (5-1-2-1 cadence, to failure), emphasizing the eccentric phase of the movement, while the second (ETS2) had moderate TUT (2-1-2-1 cadence, two repetitions in reserve), representing a traditional submaximal resistance training protocol. Adiponectin concentration was assessed by ELISA in plasma and saliva samples collected before exercise (baseline), upon 15 minutes, 24 and 48 hours of both training sessions. Muscle soreness, plasma creatine kinase (CK) and a visual analog scale (VAS) were also measured. Plasma adiponectin decreased significantly following both training sessions of approximatively 15-20% upon 24h and reaching 25% of decrease 48 hours post-exercise (P<0.001). No significant difference of circulating adiponectin levels was detected between ETS1 and ETS2 sessions. Western blot analyses confirmed a decrease in plasma levels of adiponectin, especially HMW oligomers. Salivary adiponectin remained unchanged following both training sessions. Correlation analyses revealed an inverse association between adiponectin and CK during recovery period. Overall, the two sessions of strength training induced a transient and rapid reduction of circulating adiponectin, independent form exercise modality, suggesting an activation of adiponectin signaling determined by acute metabolic stress. This hormone may contribute to inflammatory response during the subsequent recovery phase to repair muscle damage. Moreover, the dissociation between plasma and salivary levels of adipokine indicates its complex regulation. These findings extend existing knowledge on adiponectin and its modulation upon strength training and its potential role in metabolic homeostasis.

Sulle tracce di un maestro campionese tra la Lombardia viscontea e il Trentino Autori: Cairati, Carlo Abstract: Nel contributo è ripercorsa l'attività di Guglielmo Frisoni da Como, architetto e lapicida campionese, più noto per essere l'autore del chiostro maggiore della chiesa di San Francesco a Brescia, che vanta una fortuna critica succinta, a partire dal fugace accenno fatto da Pietro Toesca. L'artista è attivo tra Lombardia e Trentino, dove è ingaggiato da alcune delle più importanti signorie del Nord Italia. Il contributo cerca di fare ordine nel percorso di Guglielmo attraverso una nuova analisi delle testimonianze certe relative alla sua attività, tramandata da tre firme apposte su altrettanti edifici e la verifica della documentazione collegata al suo nome a partire dalla fine dell'Ottocento, non sempre attendibile. Al contempo nel testo sono fornite suggestioni in merito alla formazione del campionese. Infine, sono presentati nuovi nomi di artisti attivi sulla piazza della Brescia viscontea, rinvenuti a seguito di una ricerca mirata Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://hdl.handle.net/10807/340037 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/10807/340012 Titolo: Different waves and different policy interventions in 2020 Covid-19 in Italy: did they bring different results? Autori: Mario Nosvelli Abstract: Covid-19 pandemic hit very harshly Italy in two waves: the first can be temporally placed in spring and the second between autumn and winter. Data shows some relevant differences among the two phases, in particular, the first wave caused less infection but with a higher lethality rate. These differences in epidemic and social conditions in the two phases suggested a change in the strategy of containment measures: stricter and homogeneous in the first wave, flexible and diversified in the second wave. The interrupted analysis applied to daily data of new infected shows positive results for both interventions in flattening the infection curve. Both policies achieved almost the same percentage of positives cases avoided. For this reason, these measures seem rightly tuned, in both cases, to the specific epidemic and social conditions of each wave.
