TL;DR: The evidence suggests that 30 minutes of daily MVPA accumulated in addition to habitual daily activities in healthy older adults is equivalent to taking approximately 7,000-10,000 steps/day, which approximates 8,000 Steps on days that include a target of achieving 20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA).

TL;DR: The FSP is a practical intervention that elicits an immediate and profound change in walking behaviour that is an important ‘first step’ towards increasing the volume and/or intensity of PA necessary to improve long-term health outcomes in this largely sedentary and overweight or obese population.

TL;DR: It is speculated that in obesity fatty acid transporters are relocated from an intracellular pool to the plasma membrane in heart, muscle, and adipose tissues.

TL;DR: In vitro experiments confirmed that some lactobacilli utilize oligosaccharides (degree of polymerization, 3 or 4) present in β-glucan hydrolysates and have relevance to the use of purified β- glucan products as dietary supplements for human consumption.

TL;DR: Reductions in adipose tissue mitochondrial content occurred after the development of impaired glucose homeostasis, and the high-fat diet-induced reductions may be mediated by increases in plasma fatty acids.
