Protective effect of exercise on mortality due to influenza in mice.
Moderate exercise for four consecutive days post-infection significantly increased survivability to influenza infection.

Ronald N. Cortright, et al. (East Carolina University, Greenville, SC)
African-American women have increased rates of fat oxidation after 10 days of endurance exercise training (EET).
Since 10 days of EET increases skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation similarly in African-American and Caucasian women, EET should work as a treatment against obesity and diabetes for both.

L. Lawrenson, et al. (University of California at San Diego)
COPD patients reveal attenuated muscle plasticity following isolated quadriceps training.
Findings support the restoration of skeletal muscle power and metabolic capacity in COPD patients towards sedentary control levels, yet even during isolated small muscle mass exercise, provide evidence of attenuated muscle plasticity associated with COPD.

36.6
Dustin Hittel, et al. (Children's National Medical Center, Washington, D.C.)
Using genomic and proteomic techniques to investigate exercise adaptation in untrained and overweight men and women.
Comparative mRNA and proteomic profiling provides unique insight into underlying metabolic crisis in chronically untrained muscle and clues as to how exercise reverses these effects.
