Tart cherry supplementation causes differential regulation of skeletal muscle proteome after eccentric exercise (opens in new tab)

Polyphenol-rich tart cherry (TC) supplementation has previously been shown to enhance recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). However, no studies have investigated the effects of different doses of TC supplementation on such recovery. The molecular mechanism(s) of action through which TC elicits these effects is unknown. Here we show that 7 days TC supplementation prior to EIMD increases TC-derived plasma phenolic acid concentrations and profoundly alters the balance of structura...
