Article Abstract
Aims: Regular exercise promotes the beiging and metabolic adaptations of white adipose tissue (WAT) through the cumulative transcriptional responses that occur after each exercise session. However, the effects of a single bout of acute exercise and the role of N-methyladenosine (mA) in these adaptations remain unclear. We aim to investigate this further.
Materials And Methods: We constructed mouse models for chronic (8 weeks of running) and acute (single 1-hour run) exercise to study the effects on white adipose tissue (WAT) metabolism and beiging through metabolic phenotyping and transcriptome sequencing. Additionally, we explored the impact of acute exercise on WAT mA modification and target genes, combining mA regulators with cell models to elucidate the role of mA in WAT exercise adaptation.
Key Findings: Here, we reveal that upregulated mA modification after acute exercise induces the formation of glycolytic beige fat (g-beige fat) in WAT. Mechanistically, the metabolite β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) secreted after acute exercise upregulates mA modification in WAT. This enhances mA-dependent translation of the histone acetyltransferase CREBBP, promoting the transcription of key beiging genes by increasing chromatin accessibility. Pharmacologically elevating circulating BHBA mimics the metabolic response induced by acute exercise, upregulating mA modification and its downstream signals. Additionally, BHBA exhibits long-term effects, improving metabolic homeostasis in obesity by promoting thermogenesis in WAT.
Significance: Our results reveal the role of metabolites in WAT metabolic adaptation through mA-mediated chromatin accessibility after acute exercise, providing a novel therapeutic target for regulating WAT metabolism from a nutritional epigenetics perspective.

Background: Brief measures of 24-hour movement behaviors are needed to easily evaluate their durations. The present study investigated the criterion validity and test-retest reliability of a brief self-report instrument to assess 24-hour movement behaviors.
Methods: A paper-based self-administered questionnaire was used to assess sleep, sedentary behavior (SB), light-intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with four items in 35 healthy adults.

Background: During intense exercise, anaerobic metabolism predominantly produces energy in the body, resulting in lactic acid (LA) accumulation, which contributes to muscle fatigue and soreness and may also impair neurological and cardiovascular functions. In endurance sports, the lactate threshold (LT) is a key indicator of an athlete's capacity to clear and utilize LA, directly influencing athletic performance and endurance. Therefore, LA detection is crucial for assessing the physical condition of both athletes and the general population, as well as for optimizing training programs.

Purpose: First rib fractures in children are typically associated with high-impact trauma; atraumatic etiologies remain understudied. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the presentation and management of pediatric first rib fractures in the absence of major trauma.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of pediatric patients diagnosed with first rib fractures between 2000-2023 at a quaternary, free-standing children's hospital.
