Effects of Combined Eight-Hour Time-Restricted Eating with or without Exercise on Gut Microbiota in Males with Central Obesity: A Randomized Controlled Trial Obesity is a multifactorial disease that is currently a global public health concern. Time-restricted eating (TRE), has become increasingly popular as it is a practical method that involves monitoring the time period during which food is consumed rather than calculating energy intake. Interestingly, limited studies have compared the combined effects of TRE + exercise with those of TRE or exercise alone in humans. Microbiota plays an important role in human health and the development of diseases. Thus, this study aims to compare the effect of aerobic exercise and TRE on gut microbiota in males with central obesity; and to examine the individual or combined effects of TRE and exercise on gut microbiota in the target population.

Molecular orchestration of sports eye and its problems: towards a brighter vision Vision, the ability to see, engages in almost all real-world tasks, including sports. Superior sports vision in athletes determines their success in sports events, while sports activities improve the vision, eye health, and eye problems of sports enthusiasts and athletes. Despite these favorable interplays, environmental exposures during sports (e.g., sunlight) and sports eye injuries may pose great threats to players’ health, probably followed by lifelong sequelae, such as dry eye, glaucoma, or loss of vision. Epidemiological evidence suggests a significant number of sports players encounter sports eye injuries, which is particularly higher in younger players. Eye problems, such as retinal detachment, corneal abrasions, and optical nerve damage, are particularly prevalent in ball, water, and contact sports players. While sports eyewear or face shield has been proven as an effective protective strategy, very limited sports have been implementing rules on eye protection during sports activities. Either medication, surgery, or their combination could be used for the treatment of sports eye injuries or problems in a severity-dependent manner. In the treatment of eye problems, such as dry eye, glaucoma, and eye injuries, eye drops offer a unique delivery approach of medications. Antibiotic, steroid, and lubricating eye drops may be given following an eye injury, problem, or surgery. However, the eye drops for treating acute and long-lasting sports eye problems are still limited due to the unclear pathogenesis of sports eye problems and their recovery, particularly for the return to superior sports vision. There is an unmet need to decipher the molecular mechanisms of sports vision and eye problems. Project Start Year: 2023, Principal Investigator(s): XIE, Ting (ZHENG, Chen as Co-Investigator)
Effects of 8-hour time-restricted feeding with or without exercise on cardiometabolic health among men with central obesity: A pilot randomized controlled trial Time-restricted feeding (TRF) and aerobic exercise play an important role in improving cardiometabolic health among adults with central obesity; however, the effects of TRF with or without exercise remain unknown. This study aims to compare the effects of TRF and aerobic exercise, either alone or in combination, on cardiometabolic health among men with central obesity.
