Mavridou A, Pyka G, Kerckhofs G, Wevers M, Bergmans L, Gunst V, et al.
Int Endod J . 2015 Mar; 49(3):287-300. PMID: 25819599
Aim: To introduce a multimodular combination of techniques as a novel minimal invasive approach to investigate efficiently and accurately external cervical resorption (ECR). Methodology: One case of a central incisor...

Truscello S, Kerckhofs G, Van Bael S, Pyka G, Schrooten J, Van Oosterwyck H
Acta Biomater . 2012 Jan; 8(4):1648-58. PMID: 22210520
Scaffold permeability is a key parameter combining geometrical features such as pore shape, size and interconnectivity, porosity and specific surface area. It can influence the success of bone tissue engineering...

Lekka M, Laidler P, Dulinska J, Labedz M, Pyka G
Eur Biophys J . 2004 May; 33(7):644-50. PMID: 15138737
Recently, the scanning force microscope (SFM) has been widely used for direct monitoring of specific interactions between biologically active molecules. Such studies have employed the SFM liquid-cell setup, which allows...

Marcell T, Taaffe D, Hawkins S, Tarpenning K, Pyka G, Kohlmeier L, et al.
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci . 1999 Sep; 54(8):M395-9. PMID: 10496544
Background: Growth hormone (GH) helps maintain body composition and metabolism in adults. However, basal and peak GH decline with age. Exercise produces a physiologic GH response that is subnormal in...

Taaffe D, Pruitt L, Pyka G, Guido D, Marcus R
Clin Physiol . 1996 Jul; 16(4):381-92. PMID: 8842574
The effects of 52 weeks resistance training at one of two exercise intensities on thigh muscle strength, fiber cross-sectional area (CSA), and tissue composition were studied in healthy 65-79-year-old women....
6.
Pyka G, Taaffe D, Marcus R
Horm Metab Res . 1994 Jul; 26(7):330-3. PMID: 7959609
We have previously shown that an episode of resistance exercise provokes an acute rise in circulating growth hormone (GH), and that this rise is severely blunted in older men and...

Pyka G, Lindenberger E, Charette S, Marcus R
J Gerontol . 1994 Jan; 49(1):M22-7. PMID: 8282977
Background: To study the effects of resistance training on muscle strength and size in older people, we enrolled 8 men and 17 women (mean age 68.2 +/- 1 SEM) into...

Pyka G, Wiswell R, Marcus R
J Clin Endocrinol Metab . 1992 Aug; 75(2):404-7. PMID: 1639942
We measured serum GH responses to a standardized circuit of resistance exercise in 12 young subjects (6 men and 6 women; 27 +/- 1.6 yr old) and in 11 elders...

Charette S, McEvoy L, Pyka G, Guido D, Wiswell R, Marcus R
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 1991 May; 70(5):1912-6. PMID: 1864770
We conducted a 12-wk resistance training program in elderly women [mean age 69 +/- 1.0 (SE) yr] to determine whether increases in muscle strength are associated with changes in cross-sectional...

Bevier W, Wiswell R, Pyka G, Kozak K, Newhall K, Marcus R
J Bone Miner Res . 1989 Jun; 4(3):421-32. PMID: 2763878
We evaluated the relationship of body composition, maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max), and muscle strength to bone mineral density in 91 healthy men and women, age 61-84 years. Lean body mass...
